I have never bought a WASD custom made keyboard. I am most likely going to buy one of their tenkeyless keyboards once they come out next year but i am curious, can someone tell me about their quality, customer support..etc.? Thanks.
-
They are one of the BEST customer support companies, their quality is similar to that of Filco, but most importantly, they listen to their community (US!)
-
To add to the above, their keyboard are made by the same manufacture as filco: Costar.
-
Forgot to mention that, thanks!
-
Yeah heard a lot of awesome things about them. The only drawback I can think of is price.
Since they only do online sales so it's almost guarantee you have to pay shipping fee unless you live in California.
-
Plus they have their own vendor forum right here at GH: http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=83.0

Thanks guys, i appreciate your help. This is a great board where everyone really helps people make a decision about their purchase. I am going to be getting one of those tenkeyless keyboards as soon as they come out. Thanks again. :)

Once the V2 comes out, to be honest, I'm probably going to sell off my cherry boards and replace them with wasd boards. That V2 is sexy as hell, and I haven't heard a single person complain about one of their boards since they started shipping them.
-
I've got a V1. The case is not my favorite, especially compared to my Filco. It just feels like there is a lot of unused space in there. Other than that, the quality is quite good. Braided cable with nice, heavy-duty strain relief, Costar stabilizers, great customer service. Beware the brighter-than-the-sun LEDs though!

Oh, Nice. I didn't know that. V2 all the way.

I think I read somewhere here that this issue has been resolved.

I think that is what i am going to do as well. I may keep one of my Quickfire keyboards but i really don't want to keep more than 3 keyboards (4 tops). It's just too expensive. :(

Yeah it's true, it's pretty much the only complain I'd say. Overall I like Filco's form factor better as oppose to that weird circular bump at the front of WASD Keyboards. But good to know they addressed that in their V2 :)
-
Do the WASDs ping like QFR/Filco?
-
I have a V1, the only reason I would sell it would be to buy a V2 ^___^
However, since it's my only fullsized board that I have left, it's more than likely going to be coming with me to the office since I don't like doing spread sheets or entering numbers into AutoCAD without a number pad
