I will be ordering one or more such keyboards soon because it would be a shame if people wouldn't buy a mechanical keyboard 1) for such a good price and 2) from such astoundingly polite and kind people as the lady who replied to my e-mail.
I feel I just have to have one.
However, I'm thinking about stocking up on those for gifts for those of my family and friends who type a lot but use OEM keyboards, too, so I too would be interested in hearing some opinions before buying a couple of 'boards I've never touched.
Also, are there any options to customise the TVS?
Oh, by the way, I love the inverted L key. I grew up with a UK M. I kind of miss it when I don't have it. And I totally dislike the horizontal enter that I always miss.
My M has a big backspace, however. I don't like small ones, it's a murder even on my pinky, which is longer than most (10 cm / 4''). For a person with normal palms, let alone small ones, it could be a nightmare. Then again, I suppose some of the real gosus could pull off a mod on it (it's been done with other keyboards). Or, one can simply learn to get the palm up slightly instead of strething the finger. I'm thinking about using a voice command for backspace altogether to avoid either having to reach out with a pinky (in which case I get a short instance of light but numbing pain in the radius) or lift the palm up (distraction, slowing down). (Incidentally, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn etc. could perhaps be better handled this way too, as well as many chars that require an unfamiliar Shift combo).
Also, isn't the TVS 'board simply pretty in it's own way? It looks just the way a black M should, if only the TVS logo could be on a dark background.
