Does it have the glow in the dark caps as well? and - are there any more K1's in stock?

EDIT: mere seconds after I posted this link, they changed the price from £29.99 to £92.99

 

I'm not paying close to a hundred quid for a keyboard I will never use. I only want 8 poxy caps

 

See my edit - pesky pricing errors being spotted!

Would have been a great buy for £35 delivered

 

yeah damn right it would of been!

Does that happen alot on amazon? I'm fairly sure that's how I got my chair at home so cheap. It's about 150 quid on there all the time, but I got mine for 50 quid, and there was no sale or anything on at the time.

 

Yeah, it happens a fair bit. I've had a couple of cheap items off them.

I got a £40 PC chassis for £5 delivered last year.

 

Alexander's new board will be dropping with him on Wednesday as I had my postage run this morning and didn't have time to write the invoice in time, so I didn't want to rush it out. It will be sent with Royal Mail and not DHL this time as my 'person in the know' is not about this week.

Edit: F**k it, I'll throw in a cable for Alex too

 

Service

 

Legend, but dude only my Grandma calls me Alexander feel like I'm in trouble!

But since I don't have a credit card I got it from the store itself (BoraComputer) instead. Same price mind you.

£48,30 delivered. More stock available.

 

Nice little Monday surprise for me before hometime. I went outside to make a call, and when I go back there was a DHL package sat on my desk. I genuinely had no idea what it was until:



Happy days! First things first though, that spacebar is becoming a green



Not the thickest PBT ever but not bad either, and the dyesub and texture are lovely:

 

Looks really nice

 

Thanks George

As you probably know, I've always been a big keyboard kinda guy so this will take my clumsy hands a little while to get used to, but I actually need the desk space at work!

 

What's the spacebar size / mount on those? I've always dismissed them as having a weird layout but I've just noticed the shift keys are symmetrical, which means it's not so bad.

 

I don't know, but I think the stabs are in a funny position - check GH for more info.

In other news, anybody spotted an interesting flaw with the layout of this particular FC660M?

You'll s*** brix.

 

lol, nice. I see what you did there.

 

You're sure the Englysh language doesn't have 2 Ys? RAYSE HELL about that!
The FC660 does have the spacebar stems in non standard to basically everyone else. You can fix the plate and the stabilizer placement as standard to resolve the issue.

 

Gah, non-conformists strike again! It's like they go out of their way to engineer their product to make it less desirable. I might just have to get a GH60 from somewhere and go hide in the cupboard under my stairs, away from all the evil incompatibilities plaguing the keyboard world.

On an unrelated topic, I've just found these on eBay. G80-3000LPCGB-2 for about £46 delivered in the UK. They're MX blacks but the original lasered caps have been replaced with a signiture plastics doubleshot set, with some POS keys. There are more than 10 available and there is the option to make an offer, too.

If these were ANSI I'd probably try to get a cheeky offer in, but I'm not so sure. Thoughts? Also feel free to correct my sleuthing, I am definitely still a beginner at this stuff.
