That's a nice cold blue LZ-S MMB, does it uses A87 PCB?

@Lysol: I'm having trouble understanding the appeal of multiple switches on one board @.@ especially tactile vs linear

What does full LED support mean? Means every switch there can be an LED?  :confused:

Didn't order one, or didn't get one in the pack?  At least you have a matching temporary replacement.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The mailwoman was nice to me today.

First ClickClack (and first and only one I wanted), some sample stuff from WSAD (mainly just needed the costar stabilizer plugs), and PBT arrow keys from Signature Plastics.



Some shots of that cool beer clickclack:

You know, for the most part, I dislike my mail person.  She never brings things to the door and even if it's a handful of caps, refuses to leave them in the box.  She'll leave a notice, of course, but that means I have to take time to drive to a post office, stand in line, find out she hasn't made it back with the package even though the package has never left the post office, come back in an hour to get it and then go back home.

And then today.  No mail at all, but supposedly a notice was left at 12:15.  Sigh.

You know, for the most part, I dislike my mail person.  She never brings things to the door and even if it's a handful of caps, refuses to leave them in the box.  She'll leave a notice, of course, but that means I have to take time to drive to a post office, stand in line, find out she hasn't made it back with the package even though the package has never left the post office, come back in an hour to get it and then go back home.

And then today.  No mail at all, but supposedly a notice was left at 12:15.  Sigh.

EDIT: Maybe this should go in the things I hate thread...

There's a term that MMB and I call those people...
Mail people.

Actually that one is a femail person.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Now who out there is going to help this poor soul find a center stemmed caps lock?  Just look at that set.  So full of promise... Put me in, Coach!
