Merry Christmas to me!!! ho ho ho
« on: Tue, 24 December 2013, 16:48:37 »
Description Unit price Qty Amount:
 
Cherry MX Keycap Stabilizer Insert (2pcs)
Item# MXINSERTS $0.50 USD 8 $4.00 USD
 
WASD V2 104-Key Barebones Mechanical Keyboard
Item# WASD-V2-104BB-MXG $120.00 USD 1 $120.00 USD


Subtotal $124.00 USD
Shipping and handling $14.04 USD
Total $138.04 USD
Payment $138.04 USD
 

Check list:

- WASD V2 barebones MX Green + 16 pcs keycap stabilizer inserts = check
- Tai Hao madness = check
- USB to mini USB 7" + micro to mini short cable adapter = check
- Feeling sexy creating my first vomit board = double check!!!

Final conclusion:

- When  comparing the WASD2 with my TrikX the quality difference is unexplainable, a night and day cant compare BUT!!! None the less the WASD V2 is gorgeous board, feels sturdy, heavy enough for plastic mainstream board ( although I think it feels somewhat lighter than my previous Rosewill 104 board, not sure though) There is a very minimal flex on the casing on bottom left and right side of the board but the flex is so minimal you really have to look for it to notice it.

Now for the green switches, I'm seriously in love with the green switches, reminds so much like the Model M but they are much different in sound ( less noisy), not as snappy, less resisting than the Model M. but over all as my first impression I like them very much so, gonna game with them a lil bit tonight.

Personal opinion, this board + the Taio Hao as I imagined on it, + the feel of the switches = is a keeper big time.

Well, you could go real classy with Black keys, RGB modifiers, and Blue gamer WASD and Arrows cluster. 

But, then again, you could also go full-on Las Vegas bordello.

There have been a few use cases for a short detachable cable recently.

Perhaps this will become a mainstream item.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I went with the detachable cable because the board has micro USB, wanted to be able to use the 7" cable with my Korean board if GMK Handerbeit ever happened.

I like my QFS with MX greens - the greens seem lighter than the Model M.

Nice Tai Hao pattern too - I am still trying to decide what pattern to make with mine.
