Title: MX Blue Keys do not click
Post by: davewolfs on Fri, 18 January 2013, 12:04:44
Second Filco.

There are keys which do not click.  Brand new out of the box.  I assume this is not normal.

DOA keyboard. Don't talk to Diatec - talk to the seller. Period. Exchanging should not be an issue.

It's a manufacturing issue on Cherry's end.

This has reared itself a few times recently, wonder if there was a bad batch of switches that has made its way into a few keyboards?

Post serials? and manufacture dates?

Maybe we can get some data together.
