Is this XArmor any good?

This seems due to loose tolerances where the metal stabilizer bars snap into their plastic mounts


Looks like my BW, the problem can be easily fixed with a drop of Attack  (i think you call it superglue) between the small nylon hinges and the metal plate., i did it on BW and now the BW keys behavior is almost on par with my Xarmor.

No other mechanical keyboard I know of available in the US even offers wireless rf


There's a fentek one which is clearly the same board (whatever the fentek rep is saying).

 Now I know what's going on with the stabilizers.

 
This is the 4th or 5th time you ask the same question, and you have the same answer.

Is better to read replies when you ask something

My, you're surly today.

 
So I learned a new english word, thank you. :-)


BTW my spacebars are absolutely not wobbly on both Xarmor and BW so I can't help here.

The spacebar mold is straight across and doesn't flex much at all. Most perceived looseness is due to the previously mentioned tolerance issues with the stabilizer. If Xarmor had made their stabilizers a bit tighter, I really wouldn't have much to complain about. As for rollover testing using Aquakeytest...

ASX: fail
WDE: fail
SDC: fail
WAQ: fail
CTRL-AQ: pass
ESDF variations with other keys: fail
ARROW KEY cluster with other keys: fail but most keys work (better than my siig minitouch)
CAPSLOCK-LSHIFT-S: fail
