Nice budget board for work to annoy the heck out of your workmates!!
-
Already a post about this, I have 10 in the post as we speak.
-
Oh, and that very seller has quite a few more interesting boards for sale also...
-
I Just got mine in the mail. They Blue switches don't feel like blues at all. There is no "click". (They are however blue for shure). They keybaord is mushy as hell (probably as bad as a rubber dome).
The keyboard is slightly discolored. And the legending seems to be Pad printing and not lazer (one of the legends has been completely worn out. I think the keycaps were worth it for me tho. That is all, photos later after I go pay rent.

Hmm hope mines arrived at work then, shame about the "don't feel like blues" I was getting one to see what blues were like lol.
-
I don't think they are interesting at all ... we'll see.

Wow ... I had this strange feeling that something is not right with those boards. We'll see more.

I'm still waiting on the ones I bought/proxing. Getting inpatient and he is not replying to my emails.
-
I tried to communicate with the guy, but it seemed like he never fully understood what I was asking for.
Just wanted to combine the postage for a few orders, but he would keep replying with messages that missed the point entirely. So I gave up, fingers crossed they arrive soon.

Wow. Well that's quite a bonus. Hope they all have that but you've worried me in the switches not being right :(
But very glad to see one delivered!

You'd be best buying new if you really want to feel what a Cherry blue is like. I've run into this with used Cherry blue keyboards; no crispness, no click, feeling mostly like Cherry browns. A hard-used Cherry blue is nothing like a crisp new Cherry blue.

Strange you say that. My new CM Storm felt less clicky than the used Das I have which has 2-3 years of usage and feels/sounds better.
The Quickfire has gotten better though, most of the keys sound/feel like the Das after a couple weeks of using it.
-
Anyway, it was worth my time for the doubleshots...
the board is pretty much useless...the switches are in really bad condition.

Hmm, do they look like SP doubleshots? Can you compare some for me?

Im not doing any deep investigation but...
They feel very different (texture). The font does not look like SP's font.
How
ever there are some legends that are done poorly. See"
[{ , Scroll Lock.
However, I'm happy with the keys, and I like the nice yellow stained color.

Thanks for the picture, Hazeluff. I really like the numpad 0 key with a crossbar.
I hope Fossala gets his in, so I can see for myself.

I'm sure I will, just never had to wait for things this long. I have all the boxes ready for shipping, so when the do come in they will be going back out nice and swiftly.
