Even if i'm not sure there is a right alt key, I'm in for a MX-Red. Too curious of the feeling of the keys.

suntorytime · « **Reply #201 on:** Tue, 29 March 2011, 19:29:02 »

I paid for 1 mx red (shipped to AUS 4074), but forgot to include my GH username at the top. Hope that won't be a problem iMav.

If you got banned from paypal, I don't think anyone will want to do business with you, lol. How did that happen?

Those pics are so nice iMav.

Thanks for posting them!!!!!!

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the font, but other than that, it looks fantastic!

Does anyone know where to buy those engraved keys that the review samples have, especially if they have the alt layer marked on the side?

NimbleRabit · « **Reply #208 on:** Tue, 29 March 2011, 22:55:22 »

Wow, I'm really liking the look of that board. I don't need another keyboard by any stretch of the imagination, but this thing is pretty tempting anyways.

NOMiS · « **Reply #209 on:** Wed, 30 March 2011, 00:41:12 »

Not too sure about those legends. Looks like Segoe UI or something, not a great font for a keyboard imo.

I'd be interested in a different set for these, or I might just pop on my Futura Filcos.

Either way, can't wait to get mine, and trying out reds.

Itty bitty Windows logo and Big Frigging WEB lettering key cracks me up. Calc is kinda handy but typing calc.exe isn't THAT tough. No TBLOP key but that is a personal taste thing.

I will be replacing the set with double shots so its all good

Wonder why they didn't stick with Helvetica like the PBT Pink set?

So they are pink? My monitor's tint is a bit on the bright side, so they look white for me. Beautiful caps though.

I'm definitely going to be ordering one of these to relieve the strain on my poor laptop. I won't go into detail since quite frankly nobody cares, but I've written an INSANE amount for school recently.

But yeah, not sure if I want the PBTs or some other set of caps at a later date. Not liking the default set at all. I noticed that one of the group doubleshot sets fit-- will any Filco keycap sets work with this board?

DaemonRaccoon · « **Reply #216 on:** Wed, 30 March 2011, 20:14:31 »

Money sent for one with Reds, I can't wait to try those out. Plus a portable keyboard will be nice. Chances are I'll be able to go get it in person, once it arrives.

iMav, I believe you said you're ordering extra, right? I've been mulling it over as to what I want to get, and I have my Leopold coming in a few days, which I think I want to try out first.

So even though the pre-orders close tomorrow, could I paypal you next week to secure one or two of the extras?

Money sent, thanks! 1x Brown for me.

stupefaction · « **Reply #225 on:** Thu, 31 March 2011, 02:27:07 »

I've just sent payment for 1xBrown. I formatted my message according to the instructions on the first page, but when I look at Transaction Details in PayPal, all the carriage returns and blank lines have been stripped out, making it kind of hard to read my mailing address. iMav, do you receive the message in this mangled form, or do you see the original formatting?

iMav · « **Reply #226 on:** Thu, 31 March 2011, 02:28:37 »

I get everything in one line. But that is fine. Everyone elses' looks like that too.

stupefaction · « **Reply #227 on:** Thu, 31 March 2011, 02:38:28 »

That leads to ambiguous parsing, doesn't it? If you consider my address without carriage returns and if you lack the contextual geographic information, there's no way to tell for sure where the street name ends and the city name begins. I'll send you a PM to disambiguate my address.

I will be verifying shipping information after I receive the 'boards and before they leave here. So, don't worry too much about it at this point.

For those that want to order but will have to be a bit late with payment, please PM me what you want to order, your real name and shipping address, and how/when you plan to pay.

stupefaction · « **Reply #229 on:** Thu, 31 March 2011, 03:31:36 »

Oh, good. You've thought of everything. Please forgive my naivete. Clearly this is not your first time running a group order. It is my first time taking part, though. Woohoo!

pm_ · « **Reply #230 on:** Thu, 31 March 2011, 16:52:59 »

Got my bank info confirmed for paypal and sent it off.

Ordered:
1 MX-Blue
1 MX-Brown

Included $10 for shipping (estimate came in at about $8.5 for FedEx ground for a 5lb package).

I'd be curious to know how many browns, blues, and reds were ordered as well.

Edit: And how many people ordered PBT keys?

iMav · « **Reply #237 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 10:28:10 »

Browns and Reds are tied for the most orders. Blue is second (within half a dozen of the other two). Hardly any Black orders.

stupefaction · « **Reply #238 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 10:32:47 »

Can you divulge the exact numbers, or is that a trade secret? I'd like to know where I stand in the pie chart of key preferences.

Edit: I realize you may not have the final tallies until you're about to place the order. Should I bug you about the numbers later? Or never?

I was thinking about the blacks. Still a little fuzzy on what the difference between the Reds and the Blacks are tho

xsphat · « **Reply #242 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 14:22:53 »

lol, GH never changes. Love it.

I like the blacks. The thing is you have to type aggressively in order to like them. If you tickle the keys, you're new 'board with MX-Blacks will be in the marketplace in time.

daerid · « **Reply #243 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 14:36:38 »

I think I'm going to go with the blacks then. Or possibly browns. I have big hands and pretty much bottom out all the time on my DasKB.

xsphat · « **Reply #244 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 16:37:59 »

Browns and blacks are so different they aren't even in the same sport.

aegrotatio · « **Reply #245 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 23:53:01 »

I wanted to think I was a Brown or Black snob but I really dig the Blues on this BlackWidow keyboard. I can't wait for the Poker in Blues. It has a perfect layout!!

calavera · « **Reply #246 on:** Sat, 02 April 2011, 01:49:57 »

I believe I was one of the first to lay down payment for a blues. I keep coming back to this thraed thinking about getting one more in red or brown....but I must..resist....impulse buys...............

iMav · « **Reply #247 on:** Sat, 02 April 2011, 03:34:29 »

The order has been submitted. I will get a count of how many extra I ordered for any stragglers. All pre-orders up to this point (including several that came in after the end of March) are covered with the initial order.

It is very interesting you posted that because I felt similarly. Now I really stand by the idea that in order to really enjoy a switch you have to try several for a period of time. I was a total MX Brown snob until I tried the Blackwidow Ultimate and got to use the Blues. Now that I got a Noppoo choc with Blacks I kind of like them, too. I agree you have to type aggressively to enjoy them. I am getting a Red Poker so I can compare the two.
