Title: EK Esc Key HELP
Post by: Doober on Sun, 02 January 2011, 12:41:51

First off I was not sure where to put this, so I put it here hoping for a prompt response.

I received my WASD and Red ESC key for my keyboard, but ATM I do not have the KB with me so I could not test this upon their arrival. Anyways right when i opened up the package I loved the look of the lavender WASD keys, but something looked off about the ESC key. I think I have received the TOPRE esc key, and from what I see on EK http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=hh_redesc (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=hh_redesc) it definitely looks like I received this key over this key http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=maj_redesc (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=maj_redesc).

here is what i received (sorry if pics arnt the best I only have a ~$100 digital camera and am kind of new to it) (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5382/sdc10420m.jpg)(http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3048/sdc10422i.jpg)

This is my first order with EK , and I checked I did order the Majestouch ESC keys and have the receipt.

thanks

That definitely looks like the topre one. Compare the mounting shafts with your wasd keys. The cross of a cherry switch won't fit in there...

Actually the cherry stem does fit into that shaft, although it doesn't fit.
