Finally got my browns a few hours ago. Some initial thoughts:
Negatives:
1. The rubber feet do not work well at all when you are using the legs. I'm not a heavy typer, nor do I really push on the keyboard in any way, so it's not an issue for me, but might be to some. If you don't use the legs, the keyboard adheres to the desk pretty well.
2. The spacebar sounds clicky, a little similar to a blue switch, if I depress it right of center. If I depress it left of center, the clickiness isn't there and it sounds fine. I think something must be loose/faulty/not attached properly. It's annoying and I hope it's not too difficult to fix.
Positives:
Feels and sounds MUCH better than the Cherry G80-8113 with browns I was using for the last few weeks. I attribute this to the following:
* Plate mount and smaller, better made housing. Together, keystorkes feel sturdier, and sound better; echo in the housing is substantially reduced
* Better key caps. I haven't used a lot of different keycaps, but the fingertips grip the key caps well and don't slip
Misc:
Make sure to push the USB cable into the keyboard all the way. It requires a little bit of a push to get it in.
Overall:
Great keyboard so far and worth it, provided I can resolve this clicky spacebar issue.
Question: Are there any tricks to removing the spacebar on these keyboards?
