Hellow from France !
« on: Thu, 03 July 2014, 16:42:09 »
Hey !

I've been reading this forum for the last 6-7 months and after many hours of research, I bought a brand new WASD Code keyboard (Tenkeyless / Cherry MX Clear) last April.

Like many things in this world, it has qualities and also some drawbacks. Overall I am reasonably happy with this keyboard.


Importing some "mechanical keyboard" stuff can be tricky and ... pricey in Europe ! That's why I would be happy to share some of my findings with this community.

I'm glad to be here  ;)

Welcome to geekhack! :cool:

What drawbacks are you having with your CODE TKL?  Perhaps it is something that can be modified to better suit your liking.

Thank you infiniti !

Minor drawbacks :
  • Ping & reverb' noises with the stock (ABS) keycaps. I hope to fix this by buying some new (DSA profile) keycaps made of PBT !
  • The backlighting of some keys looks yellow instead of white.
  • White paint of the backplate is removed too easily. Removing cat hair fallen between the keys becomes a delicate surgery procedure :p
Major drawback :
  • mini USB connector is only held in by the pins. It doesn't seem to be glued or attached to case itself and it can break.

Welcome to the boards.
Thanks for pointing out that broken connector tip. I'll have to be extra careful, that's a terrible design.

A nicer set of keycaps helps the code boards a lot, an IMTSO cherry profile thick pbt set is tits.
