Title: Vivanco Compact Mechanical Keyboard
Post by: MissileMike on Sun, 02 January 2011, 18:22:55
This is a compact clicky keyboard that's pretty good, and new.  My only real gripe with it is that the big enter key should have a stabilizer bar and it doesn't.  It uses white alps xm switches and it's surprisingly light for a mechanical.
I am listing it on ebay here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170585987816) and donating 100% to charity.

Hi,
First post here...
I've been watching this listing on Ebay, but I am unable to find any info about this board with my google searches.  Vivanco.de was also not helpful.  Do you have any links or other info about this board?  I guess I am most curious about NKRO... any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Since this auction is for 100% charity, I'll resist to post my review here again!

In a nutshell: nope, no nkey rollover.

I don't know too much about them, except that they have white alps xm switches, and a plastic backplate.  It's not the best keyboard I have by any means, but I like it quite a bit more than sixty does.

Pros:
black compact mechanical- not too many of those around
white alps xm switchess
good layout

Cons:
Big enter key doesn't have a stabilizer
light
pad printed keycaps
