Blue bi-color Vortex DS PBT arrived today!
« on: Sat, 03 May 2014, 20:54:30 »
They feel great to type on, but I don't know if I'm crazy about the 40A-L o-rings I installed. Will soon swap out all the blacks for clears on this Filco:

Those are surprisingly nice to look at!

Thanks for posting :)
"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

Are those dyed? They don't look white.

No problem, I wholeheartedly agree. The italic set was truly bad.

Nope, check the album pics, there's one with flash where it looks properly white. The rest of the pics were under unnatural light.

They feel great to type on, but I don't know if I'm crazy about the 40A-L o-rings I installed. Will soon swap out all the blacks for clears on this Filco:

Got blue o-rings on mine, and I am lovin them! Course, I wish I had Browns at this point, but the blue dampeners make them tolerable.

Yeah I ordered a set of blue o-rings along with my wife's CODE  (w/ clears) from WASD and tried them on a few keys on Filco, I thought it would help bottoming out but felt too squishy. So while I was waiting for these to arrive today, I pulled off every red o-ring from my WASDv2 Deadpool board and put the blue o-rings on that one instead. That one has browns and feels pretty good, I think I will go for stock clears with no o-rings on this Filco though. Can't wait to have the swap done!

Thanks! Updated main pic with better view of the white in case SpAmRaY didn't look through whole album :)
