Got my shipping confirmation. Danke whiterice!

muchadoaboutnothing · « **Reply #651 on:** Thu, 11 November 2010, 08:02:09 »

Well, it hasn't really shipped yet as far as I can tell. WhiteRice has the labels set and told the post office to expect the packages today.

Yea I just meant that I got my confirmation that they'll be shipped today.
Sorry if I made anyone go crazy

Edit: What keyboard (if any) is easiest to replace these keycaps on? I may purchase a cherry keyboard, just to use these =)

Anything with cherry stabilizers is a breeze. They just pop on and off.

How do they feel, compared to Filco's keycaps?

They have a nice texture and the double shot nature means you don't feel any pad printing.

Pretty great!

For me 6 KRO is pretty important anyway, so the G80 is not an option (and I wouldn't get the cherry red version anyway).

If cherry blues are okay with you, the Rosewill is a great option, assuming newegg gets them back in stock.

What about the sound and the overall feedback (haptic??) when pressing the keys? I mean, if the keycap's weight and resonance has changed a bit, does this lead to perceptible differences? Mostly on MX blues.

squarebox · « **Reply #662 on:** Thu, 11 November 2010, 18:22:55 »

WhiteRice, mind taking a shot with the stepped Capslock on?

WhiteRice · « **Reply #663 on:** Thu, 11 November 2010, 21:05:28 »

squarebox, the stepped capslock is for cherry keyboard compatibility. The stem is off center.

I will be shipping them out tomorrow when the post office opens. Sorry about the delay guys.

Yes, though, Ctrl is plenty more useful.

is 2 Plastic molded together.
it looks better on regular key cap.
just not the on the bigger key.
who will want to look at your underneath?

Fwiffo · « **Reply #671 on:** Thu, 11 November 2010, 22:18:09 »

That's the way double-shots are made. How often do you look at the underside of your keys?

Daniel Beaver · « **Reply #672 on:** Thu, 11 November 2010, 22:23:49 »

That is fairly typical of doublshots. You'll get a bit of flash overlapping onto the two plastic bits during injections molding. You never see that potion of the keys anyways, so there is no particular reason to ensure a "clean" fusion between the white and black portions of the keys on the inside. The outside is a completely different story, and the molds are designed to ensure a very defined border with the text.

Also, it appears some of our readers will need some sort of keyboard cleaning assistance in the near future . Be sure to read the cleaning section of the wiki.

How to give up on the OCD with checking the tracking number:

Register a Packagetrackr account, add the tracking number, and check that you want notifications and you'll get an email when
[list=ul]

It starts moving (for the first time; not every place it stops)
If it's out for delivery (USPS doesn't have this status
When it's delivered

You can also get tweets or text messages when the above happen, and you can forward emails with tracking numbers in them (change the subject line to whatever you want the package nickname to be) and it'll automatically add it to your account.

Will this be a problem for any Filco clones? Will the control keys only work with Cherry branded keyboards?

I mean, it doesn't matter that much but I'm a little sad.

WhiteRice · « **Reply #694 on:** Fri, 12 November 2010, 14:58:15 »

The control keys work on filco style board. The stepped caps lock key is the one for cherry boards.

Hey guys it was no problem. This order wouldn't have been possible without your participation and trust.

Much thanks to those who tipped; my set was covered by your generosity.

I have lots of ideas for keys and sets in the future, but for the time being I'm going to take it easy and enjoy typing on these keys!
