Title: My First MK is here
Post by: mrlooolz on Sat, 16 January 2016, 03:23:11

FINALLY FINALLY! I know I have been spending too much time here when before i even plug in the key board i already removed somethings and played around! reading the manual now and for the life of me I cant understand anything about the DIP switches? can someone help?

 Also My FN has a tiny scratch on it, I just also realised that alot of the keys have like uneven edges? best way to explain is like when the plastic was being cut , it wasnt a clean cut so there is some "extra plastic" not a big deal. I expected a little better quality! I would say very happy. I would cherish it :)

And some higher-end ones, no less. The keyboard is just a display for the caps. XD

Best thing to do with dipswitches is test what they do one at a time - if they were going to do damage they wouldn't be there!

How many switches are there, and where are they on the board?  Did you get any extra keycaps? These things may give you some clues...

That's a nice first keyboard, but it's too bad they didn't put the spacebar on the right way.  :p. Is there nothing in the instructions about the dip switches? I can't imagine it not coming with some instructions.

It looks like your first mech KB ever was shipped with the spacebar the wrong way. Quick, use that keycap puller to fix this egregious error.

 :p

hehe happy with it so far!

1) The clack I bought hasnt been delivered yet and from what I understand is lost! I bought a bunch of artisans at retail after that, and I wont be spending anymore big buys unless it's a sweet corn skull or an anada! but yes so far my collection is (some meowcaps(i won in the raffle), and some others ill display!

2) I bought the board before the caps but it was on pre-order for a while so :D

3)I put on the space bar that way:P

4) There are 4 switches and really the manual isnt clear at all on what they do. Or it might just be me not being able to understand the lingo. Ill attach a photo :rolleyes:
