MX Blue Keys do not click
« on: Fri, 18 January 2013, 12:04:44 »
Second Filco.

There are keys which do not click.  Brand new out of the box.  I assume this is not normal.

DOA keyboard. Don't talk to Diatec - talk to the seller. Period. Exchanging should not be an issue.

It's a manufacturing issue on Cherry's end.

This has reared itself a few times recently, wonder if there was a bad batch of switches that has made its way into a few keyboards?

"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

Post serials? and manufacture dates?

Maybe we can get some data together.
