    Lmao worry not my dear man - I have a Nanzi to make up for it

    Although I'm still partial to an ISO enter or two, much easier to hit.

    I like them as well, my Leopold uses them. My WASD uses the metal bar and clips type one that most people prefer and while I can see why others would prefer it just doesn't gel with me.

    Cherry stabilizers > costar stabilzers. I don't care what anyone says, if you disagree you're just wrong. LOL. I don't really see the big deal really. Unless you swap caps a lot it don't matter much, though the costar ones do break a lot easier and make more rattle noise.

    Wait, which type does the Poker have, Cherry?
    If so yeah I'd agree, also agree with you about the easy to break part.

    Got my Ducky today (thanks George). Loving the size of it as it's TKL and feels so much nicer to type than my old MS X4.

    I asked George this in a PM but ask here as well does anyone know of a way to turn Num Lock off when booting? Not a biggie but it stumped me for the first couple of minutes on why my PW wasn't working :wallbash:

    Bios option... hopefully. I had to disable that for one of my old boards that had embedded numpad. It should be present in most bios.

    On boards with embedded numpad, it turns the numlock automatically at boot, so instead of typing iopkl;m,. or whatever the numad is 2nd layer of... you get numpad. It's quite annoying.

    Yeah it depends on the board too. Some have true numlock, while some are more like a Fn lock which bios can't activate. Or you already have numlock boot off in your setup option...

    Ahhh ok.

    Lysol do I want in on the zinc key caps GB? They look so nice, have you ever seen one in the flesh?

    No, I have no experience with those. Some of them look cool... but they are all tall profile so far, so I won't buy them. Keycaps to pass onto the great grand kids? Up to you if you have money to burn. I burn my money on rare Cherry keycaps. It's even worse... I buy entire boards for a few keycaps sometimes... LOL. I just bought an Alcatel MMK battleship cause it has white modifier keys instead of beige ones... and a center stemmed windows caps lock... Oh MY!

    Hmmm I still can't get my keyboard set up quite right or decide which keycap set to get!

    No problamo, glad you're enjoying it, sorry I couldn't be of any help regarding the Numlock issue.

    Longweight, I looked into the zinc group buy but decided against it, they look ok, but not worth the price to me.
    Really liking the white otaku PLU I got yesterday, very clean look.
