    "ICT"- in which we don't even do any ICT :sigh: is one of the few classes that isn't mixed ability. Even the mixed ability one's where I'm near the top are filled with retards. -_-


    Edit: Had an idea. MBM, when all our caps arrive, should we see who's Noppoo looks best? :D

    Poker with blues... not seen one of them in a while actually! The dude doing the major group buys only had browns this time, and a bunch of pures and races. Actually there's quite a lot of pures and races going down currently, and blues is always the cheapest switch!

    Oh and WASD told me yesterday that they had already shipped our order - faultless service!


    And dang the MX Blue Pures are sold out !

    Blue switches used to be expensive, but seem to have recently fallen out of trend and manufacturers dropped the prices. Now it seems people have realised how cheap they are for a damn nice quality switch, leading to a sudden upsurge in demand.

    Thanks again guys - having searched the geekhack marketplace and emailed a few guys, finding a red led ducky with browns is proving impossible... I also can't find that mod you were talking about lysol... Wouldn't want to buy a white led one, colour it and for it to look rubbish...

    Seriously thinking of giving up on the idea of a backlit one now and just going for a filco from keyboardco...

    Also obviously most cherry mx boards can have LED's added, although the light wont shine through the key legends.

    Ah yeah - hadn't noticed that.... Not keen... Google translate is struggling with the page too - can't tell if there's an option to not have those. If you choose English in the drop down box by the 'Add to basket' button it then gives you another drop down box of 1 & 2 ???

    I'm actually about to order a board from there

    If you want we could combine the order - cut on shipping cost hopefully for a cheaper end result?

    edit: when you select English, it means english only caps, and the one or two is the quantity AFAIK - yep it is, just checked

    Actually I just checked the combined shipping costs and it is utterly ridiculous.

    Don't bother with that then :)

    Thanks for checking that - I'll have to try again on that site when I get home - at the minute I'm having real issue translating pages...

    Also - I'm sure I read somewhere that Ducky have some quality control issues (can't remember where now) - has anyone else heard this?

    I think you're mixing it up with other boards, the cherry switch ducky's have always been fine afaik
