Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

My heart was racing as I tried to get the order in quickly enough!

 

Same lol!

Missed the salute key by about 5 seconds

f*ck

 

I was trying to do it so quick that I have that awful feeling where I think I messed something up, delivery address or something like that, hahah!

 

I got my delivery address wrong! It's going to my mums house but I have emailed them asking for the address to be changed.

No problem if it isn't though! Damn you default paypal address!

 

dammit i should order more using my bank card to random addresses...

I wont though

 

Oh... I found Cherry 2shots white with 1.25 bottom row! YAY!!! Will have a complete white set then )) and it only took me 1 year and 4 months to find them ;P

 

Congrats Lysol!

oh I needed to ask you, are cherry lasered POM keys of identical feel and usage to the double shots, except the legends wear off?

I want the cherry experience tbh

 

No not really. White keys are PBT and black are POM which both feel quite different to ABS 2shots. I prefer the POM for the lasered caps personally as they are nice thick and heavy. Cherry PBT caps are actually kind of thin and cheap feeling unless you can find some vintage dyesub set. Well I will probably be selling the incoming set minus the bottom row...and some of you guys might be thrilled to get UK layout 2shots...

 

Indeed we will! White UK 2shots minus a bottom row?

do you have any other sets or incomplete sets lying about btw?

 

Apparently they are all now sold out!

 

Yeah... but it's an 'albino' GB set with ALL white base keys no beige. So I still need to find my beige 1.25 control keys someday to finish that set up... lol. No I don't have any other sets I will be looking to get rid of just now.

 

An interesting sentiment after your initial thoughts on my imitation mech!

 

That is why I never recommend the cheaper mechanical boards, I haven't used them and so many have crazy layout changes for no good reason.

 

Haha! Unfortunately if you want a combination of MX Brown, ISO and/or backlit then the only answer is a Qpad or some such "disappointment of life"

Or that WAS the case until CCL announced DUCKY SHININGS MX BROWN ISO FULLSIZE (which you should note hadn't been announced at the time you were searching for a new board )!

Gogogo

 

Krikkit, if I were you and you just want another inexpensive MX board to try out a different switch or so on, go for a Cherry G80-3000. Not always easy to find in browns but certainly available and in UK layout. Of course they don't come with backlight however. I think the exact part would be 3000LPCGB.

 

I see Scan have the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid with brown switches on pre-order

My search for the ideal starter keyboard might be over.

 

Yes they are and I just saw this.

Damn but sometimes I really hate being in meetings!!!!!!

 

Oh man I feel for you! Did you get the newsletter email?

 

Never fear, once GH is back you can buy them for 10x the original price

 

I had a look at a couple, but couldn't bring myself to pay for one, I'd only do it so I could sell it on for more later, so I didn't.
