I hope I like XDA after all these months )

I hope I like it too

This my first XDA set and I love it!

I’ve been using XDA Canvas on my main board for awhile now, and coming from more sculpted caps it took me a little while to get used to. But it’s pretty nice, and certainly looks great as a profile.
Just my opinion, but I feel it seems more ideal for smaller boards than larger ones.

Oblique will be my 2nd XDA though, and can’t wait to get them in my hands.

I've spent years now typing on SA and DSA and, more recently, MT3. I fully expect to like XDA as well.

Should anyone find they don't like XDA, there will be plenty of folks interested in buying your XDA Oblique set off you.

Delayed picture, but I’m very happy with my set! Took a few days to get used to XDA but all good now.

Agreed about XDA working better with smaller boards (like DSA IMO). I used XDA on my daily driver for about 6 months. It's kinda meh. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. You get used to it but after switching back to Cherry you realize what you're missing in terms of good ergonomics. I'm still hyped for this set though. Looks soo good.

Good news is, I can’t believe both this set and the Plaid kit arrived in the same week.

Bad news is, I did not anticipate getting into ortho and so did not purchase the ortho kit.

Good news is, thanks to the novelties, no big deal

Has anyone received a shipping confirmation from mechkeys? I got the email asking me to reply if needed to change my address, but haven’t seen anything since then.

In the same boat from mechkeys

Nothing from them since the email asking to confirm my address almost a week ago. I've reached out a few times over the past few weeks about shipping and other things (MOQ refunds), but they haven't responded. Mechkeys has unfortunately been pretty poor with communication during the whole process. Quite disappointed in that aspect of this GB. But the caps look worth it 🙏

FALSE ALARM!!?
Sorry, I thought it was it. I already got a shipping confirmation awhile ago from the lube I ordered and they sent another today for some reason? Just assumed it was oblique before opening the email

Same here , love SA (DSA not so much) and XDA took some getting used to. It’s the uniform profile than anything. I have xda canvas on one of my boards and after using some risers to give it an angle, it’s quite enjoyable. The surface area of the caps are larger, I make fewer mistakes

Did anybody else get an *extra* refund from Dixie Mech? 'Cause I got an email where I got an additional $9 or so back.

I ordered using mykeyboard.eu and got a few bucks back today, I think the production costs for the sets ended up being a bit lower than planned. Nice of the GB runners and proxies to give that money back instead of pocketing it.

Dixie has confirmed that he will be shipping out tomorrow, and you should *probably* get a shipping notification late tonight. He's been sharing all of these updates on his Discord here: https://discord.gg/NVDyyd

Daellin · « **Reply #389 on:** Thu, 18 April 2019, 19:57:20 »

Everytime I buy a keyboard set there's always one kit I think I don't need and I try to cheap out on.

That kit is numpad and I hope to keep track of extras getting in stock.
