Really nice, BadAss.
@CaptainBadAss Thanks for the explanation, I think this writing system is beyond me :-)
Learning to type in Mandarin is/was hell.
Or you know, you can use the mainland china method, where everything is spelled out using latin alphabets.
Duck viper grey with Dolch caps.
The grey is slightly blueish. The potato camera plus the lighting is not able to bring out that color
Things I like about this keyboard
Nice HHKB style cutouts.
Great consideration of screw mounts for PCB attachment. Dampens the noise significantly even though i am using 62g clears. On the KMAC, this thing would be noisy as hell. Slightly noisier than an RF silent is how I would put it.
Great case quality. One of the reason i bought this was because of the Duck poker case. I am nit disappointed
Things i do not like about this keyboard
PCB material is awful. I can smell the PCB burning while soldering for the first time. Desoldering for the first time would sometimes cause pads to lift. Consideration should have been made as this is a modder's PCB. It would go through a few soldering/desoldering cycles over its lifetime.
The slope. This keyboard is designed for people who rests their hands on the table while typing. Same height as the leopold fc660c with its feet extended. Might be personal preference but not my preference.
Firmware. Might be that I am an idiot. I cannot figure out how to turn off the layer indicator (caps lock LED) so i desoldered it. Very annoying to have something blinking when you are trying to concentrate.
Things i hate about stabilzers
PCB mount stabilizers on a plate mount keyboard. If the stabilizer wire somehow dislodged from the stabilizer, it would be very hard to put it back. I had to desolder the whole thing before figuring out this. A kind friend recommended me to add toothpicks behind the stabilizer wires. It helps.
