SO! Sorry this is so late tonight. I'm a bit of a night person. The tester is on its way to bienc, the tracking number is 0310 2010 0002 0954 8285 ( 03102010000209548285 ). Actually went in about 4pm... I've just been away from my computer till now.
As for other matters :3
Here is listers tester hanging out with some of my other more interesting electronics. The laptop is a Toshiba Libretto L5(A 2003 ultralight that was sold in Japan only. Pretty much works like a netbook now XD... Gets 3hrs on a tiny 3cell battery! Not bad for 2003.), the mouse is a Logitech G700... The keyboard my old failing logitech keyboard.
And here's the Libretto L5 and the numpad hanging out... The Libretto really wishes the numpad could help it play that game of Angband better. XD The twokinda fit together too, both being the same depth and about the same height... Well. If not for the power adapter, who needs electricity anyway.
Aaaand... also, my thoughts on the the various switches.
Reds - Light touch, nice feel. Probably my preference. Though I think ML's which are similar with less travel might be even nicer. I imagine most folks have issues bottoming these and browns out tho. Pretty much, I can see why some people like these for gaming.
Black - A little firm, nice feel tho. Feel fatiguing tho.
Brown - Light touch, the tactile point though irritates me a bit since it bounces the keyheight from one side to the other of it.
Ergo Clear - Brown with more kick? Check, only better. Actually feels like a better--smoother--tactile point than brown... Smoother AND more distinct. Nifty. Difference of the tactile mechanism doing this? Nice mid firmness, tho I liked the reds better.
Clear - Firmer ergos, or well, ergos are lighter these really XD... Pretty much same opinion as ergo clear
Tacto Black - Jebus, I feel the feedback more than in the brown... though it feels better with the higher force. Too firm though.
Blue and Green - AUGH! That click hurts my ears. Too high pitch. Tho the firmness of the green is probably perfect for a spacebar. The green seems oddly raised a noticeable amount... Not sure if its the stem or cap tho.
Grey - No clicky!... but almost too firm even for a spacebar or enter key if its performance on this small key is any sign. Oh dear. This key has MONSTROUS force sir.
A few other comments... The tester would have been nice to be able to actually see the response on a computer. Most of us that don't have mechanicals are used to very late actual response down a key-press... Being able to test the difference would make these testers all the better. Still awesome and many thanks to both litster and hashbaz!
Edit: How does one leave iTrader feedback anyway. And sorry for the image quality, my only camera is on my barphone xD... even if it is "3MP" its... Prone to odd colors. And grainyness. Oh god the grainyness.
