Keyboard Survey

[xondat]

Trying to collect information for keyboards in general, please use this form - http://goo.gl/forms/vsxbJlwNRa

If I've missed anything, please say otherwise thanks for completing it

I was going through your questionnaire but I couldn't complete it as some of your questions made specific assumptions e.g. part two had mandatory questions regarding group buys but the only choices I could pick from implied I had done at least one group buy before, which is something I have never done.

The only other thing I had noticed before I had to close the questionnaire was the colour choice - my mechanical keyboard is white but isn't listed among the options presented.

Nonetheless, if you can generalise the questionnaire and make certain parts optional, I will be happy to help by completing it.

No question should be mandatory and don't ask for user names.

I was going through your questionnaire but I couldn't complete it as some of your questions made specific assumptions e.g. part two had mandatory questions regarding group buys but the only choices I could pick from implied I had done at least one group buy before, which is something I have never done.

If you are speaking about these two questions below, the goal is to inquire about how many days you believe you would need to place an order, and how many days you believe it would be appropriate for you to be invoiced.

The only other thing I had noticed before I had to close the questionnaire was the colour choice - my mechanical keyboard is white but isn't listed among the options presented.

Nonetheless, if you can generalise the questionnaire and make certain parts optional, I will be happy to help by completing it.

The color choice is not meant to represent the current color of your board, you should answer it having in mind what color you'd want in case you were ordering an acrylic/aluminum case!

We tried to keep these questions as general as we could, without losing the need for specific answers. Do you have any specific suggestions besides these ones I (hopefully) made clearer for you?

No question should be mandatory and don't ask for user names.

We need complete answers, they have a thought proccess behind them. We also requested usernames in case we decide to contact a specific person, for example:

Hey fohat.digs,

I saw that you requested amber acrylic cases, do you have any picture to provide as reference?

I don't have an opinion on the majority of questions at all. I'm going to refrain from filling this in because my answers, which I can't skip, would skew the results.

I see what you're talking about, you're the 3rd person to mention this.

I'll inform xondat of this issue and we will try to make the questions non-mandatory, like fohat.digs suggested.

Hi, this is a lot of information to answer.  What is the purpose of the survey?

[fohat.digs]

I can't imagine anyone ever wanting any part of a case to be acrylic, that is a cheap and crappy type of plastic.

Will you be sharing all of this data with the community?

Exactly, those cases would probably melt where I work. And aluminium is **** too, it's very weak and cold to the touch to boot.

Market research.

Yes, but I'll be revising this survey and putting out another one.

It is weak, however, it is often an option with some cases. The point of this is to see what people actually want; what material would you want?

Polystyrene is fine with me, PBT another good call. Maybe it's because I really only have old keyboards but I don't see the point in using aluminium and I'd want anything but acrylic (ever seen one of those old acrylic Apple keyboards after they've been used for a while? It's disgusting).

What boards do you use/own?

I will take issue with you here. Cold at first, but it also warms up. My only metal case is my Model F 107-key banking keyboard, detailed elsewhere, and even made from low-grade "pot metal" it is still very rigid and nice. A better grade of polished or anodized metal would be exquisite.

I don't post wastes of a post .

What boards I own? I'm at 49 different models iirc xD . Check my video reviews, they'll give you a good idea .

If it'd be metal I'd choose painted steel, personally.

Oh wow. Yeah I checked it out before and that's insane; nice collection.

I've added Steel to the options, also added finishing options.

Locking the thread and creating a new one, as I need everyone to refill the form
