Looks like a poorly shot dead on flash exposed picture.  Looks good to me, but my standards are a little lower than others :)  These keyboards can hardly get damaged cause they are all keycap, no bezel.

Thanks for the thread and the congrats. This will be my first keyboard with brown switches (I've tried the Model M, MX Blue, Black and ML). I'm really glad I was able to find such a good deal on some MX Browns.

Ok, not to be daft, but why are these things called Ricercars? There is a user here by that name, is there any connection?

IIRC, Ricercar was the one who popularized them.

He found them (on the internet I think) for like 10 dollars each. Then he told the masses

Oh, that wouldn't be a bad one to try ergo clears on. If it's pcb mounted, anyway.

I like that (similar to my vivanco that I got from misslemike, but its tenkeyless) it sacrifices stuff to the right of the spacebar. I never use that side anyway, so it makes no difference to me.

Yep they're definitely PCB-mounted. 2-KRO though.

That's a giant meh to me.

The ease of modding and I think it has PBT keys are the only things that matter.

It's also just small enough to almost be in tenkeyless class size without actually losing anything.

Yes, that's the one. According to the main thread for this board it uses PBT keycaps.

Ripster on the last page specifically for the keycap reference.
