Greetings orbweaver owners and fans. I'd like to announce that from today (well actually from yesterday) I also am part of the Orbeweaver club
I have tested it quite a bit yesterday and today...and here are some of my first impressions:
- This thing, for what it offers, is pretty darn expensive. There I said it
- Quality build is pretty OK, although the thumb piece could have been a bit more sturdier/solid built
- Like many have said before, Cherry MX Blue on this device is just not a good idea. What was Razer thinking?
- I find the thumb-stick pretty difficult to use properly...but that might just be me, since I've always been a retard at controlling almost any type of analog stumb-stick controller.
- Contrary to many, I actually like the matte/rubberized coating on the keycaps
That said, I am definitely modding this little fella to fully appease my gaming needs...I was thinking Cherry MX Red for the arrow keys and Brown ones for some of the keys around the arrow ones. Therefore I would have some questions:
1) Do you guys know any European reseller that has cherry MX key switches? The only reseller I have found so far is US based only; talking about mechanicalkeyboards.com I'm asking because I'd like to save some money on shipping costs
2) Just to be 100% sure, I will be needing the PCB mount keyswitch type for this one right?
3) I did figure from the previous comments that LEDs must be 3mm ones, but what voltage range would they have to be???...on my local ebay and electronics e-stores I have a very vast choice of 3mm LEDs...don't know which ones to choose.
Any advice or detail I should pay attention to when modding this? Thanks
