First time I see seller offering webcam viewing.  :-)  It is like those unboxing videos, except it is in reverse, and live!  

GLWS!

Be sure to turn on the mike too so people can listen for ping.


I don't get it.

Since you are new here, you probably didn't read about people complain about the pinging sound made by a mechanical keyboard like Filco using Cherry's switches.  You wrote you are going to do a live steam to demostrate your keyboard is ready to ship, ripster joked that you should turn on the mic to let the buyer hear the ping.  :-)

It is definitely not out of production.  It is just Filco can't make them fast enough, leaving lots of money on the table.  Maybe Majestouch 3 will have anti-ping muff-o-matic??!

Good luck with sale!

Oh ok. That's a really bad onomatopoeia. I say that because it doesn't sound like "PING" at all. That's why I didn't get it.

Exactly.  That's why it was sarcastically funny for people who don't think they ping, on top of your boxing live stream video ;-)

Finally getting a TKL need that mouse space for SC2 :D

Though I will be disappointed if I end up using the Poker w/ reds instead lol.

It's still for sale, I backed out for now since I already have a Poker paid for and on the way.  I think its wise for me to see if I like the red switches and smaller size of the poker before I commit to a TKL keyboard to replace my Das.  I would be upset with myself if I found I like the reds a lot more and then I would suddenly have spent the money in the wrong place.
