Bit by the random Canadian bug. Sometimes they get me, sometimes they don't.

If there is a commercial invoice on the outside I usually get dinged.

If you don't love them right away, stick with them for a couple weeks. They may take a little getting used to, but the 660C is I great board. Congrats.

Will do. It was expensive enough that I'll definitely try and work through any problems I have with it. It was either this or the HHKB, and I'm not quite ready to ditch my arrow keys entirely.

I didn't like topre when I first got mine, but the layout is better than any other board I own so I stuck with it. I have it at work now and I enjoy both mx and topre. (still need to try alps and BS).

OMG! Does usps recycle tracking number? The reason is that the tracking of my F2 Blue Clack which showed that it left Chicago on 30 May is now reset and is showing that it is leaving Florida! Wtf? If this is the case, this clack left Chicago twice, came back to Florida and is now on its way to God knows where!

I don't think they do, or at least there's no reason they should. Have you gotten on the phone with them?

Belfong · « **Reply #4768 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 20:44:00 »

I'm in Malaysia. I don't want to call international and being put on hold for 30 min, as usps was notoriously known. The old tracking record, the one that showed it left Chicago twice was wiped out, replaced with this Florida one. Interestingly, the first line item was 'processed through sort facility' as though the package started in from the sort facility itself in Miami and not from some post office. Very strange. Let's see if it goes back up to Chicago again! I hope it goes to LA. I love usps LA mainly because there's a direct flight from LA to Malaysia.

Zeal · « **Reply #4769 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 20:46:58 »

Yes, USPS recycles tracking numbers. Almost every Priority Int'l tracking # I get is recycled, varying from 2years to a couple months ago.

I wonder if it was eventually returned to them, so they are starting delivery again?

Anyone know if they work that way?

Can you confirm the address they are trying to deliver to?

Belfong · « **Reply #4771 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 20:51:59 »

The address is correct. I have had a copy of the shipping label. It's possible that it's gone back and start all over again. The only issue is that the sender address is Texas. I'd think the tracking should start from Texas, not Florida.

Glad you like it

I made the layout myself. The font is called Electroharmonix and it's freely available with a quick google.

Excellent! Please allow yourself a week or two to get used to it - the switches will feel quite different and the layout can take a while to become accustomed to.

I recently switched my home board to a 60% pure layout. I have to admit I am having some trouble with the HHKB style arrows. As a developer I use the arrow keys all day everyday. I need to start building my 75% to see if that is a better layout for me.

I normally do day 1 reviews of all my new boards, but I'm going to have to wait on this one.

If anything, what would you compare the topre switches too? I know people have said they're a mechanical rubber dome or whatever, but could you give a better explanation?

davkol · « **Reply #4794 on:** Tue, 08 July 2014, 06:47:45 »

A high-quality rubber dome. A smooth one. (The springs don't really affect feel.)

It's like the difference between scratchy Cherry MX with the worst keycaps, and lubed broken-in Cherry MX in a quality keyboard.
