So it came UPS today and I love it already!
I got it from rogerky seller on ebay(someone outbid me on the one from ncbound while I was in a class....no internet access
(((
As I said before it feel awesome, but I think the springs are a little worn, it isn't nearly as crisp as I remember a model M feeling(then again the last time I typed on one was when I was about 7 so who knows).
They feel a little mushy(not nearly as much as a membrane) but they're not nearly as defined as I remember them being.
The picture that was in the sale I'm quite sure was not this keyboard because the one in the picture was much cleaner, I'm somewhat disappointed in the ebay seller because of this. He said that all keys operate smoothly with no sticking keys which is true, but it would have been nice to know that they were a little worn. I got the 1391401 and it actually has the double keycaps on it(where the marked one will come off and you will have the unmarked one beneath it that actually has the stem on it. EEEnteresting, so if I wanted blank keycaps, I could always just remove the top layer(but then they wouldn't have any contour to the keys which would just suck).
Questions, comments concerns??
In general I would say that I probably wouldn't buy another keyboard from rogerky, the post was pretty misleading although I did get a functional product which is all I was really worried about since I'm just trying the M out.
On those lines, I will be typing on this thing pretty much forever now as it is by far my favorite since I am a very heavy typist. The DAS I had before would bottom out really easily(as blue cherries do) and I like the sound and feel of the key bottoming out, but not nearly as much as I love this 'board!
I will definitely be looking to get a few more of these things once I get some more money in the wallet and since they're so cheap and will last me forever!!!! yay
Anything I should know before tearing this sucker apart and cleaning the crap out of it?
