Got this cheap-ass clone keyboard today:




Out of the box, the space bar stabilizers are already broken.  Not cool...



They were ****ty stabilizers anyways... at least they're intact on all the other large keys:



Red Kailh (Cherry MX clone) switches:




Overall, the switches themselves aren't too bad.  And at least it came with 8 (WASD and arrow keys) actual Cherry (Black) switches:





Side-by-side switch comparison:





EDIT: Resized images.  Hopefully you can see them now...

White PBT keys for the Ducky Shine 2. I really wish I could use the stepped caps lock that the set came with as an extra.... alas, its stem is a few millimeters to the right of where it needs to be, (bumps into the other key to the right of it.) I'm just glad it had a "modern" caps lock key included in the set as well, otherwise I'd have been screwed.

Stupid dropbox...

I wouldn't have this problem if my home ISP didn't block port 80, then I would just upload the pics to my own server.

Maybe I'll fire up my server again and just use an FTP server for my pics instead... but first I'd have to run Ethernet into my basement.

Change your server port to 81? Port forwarding through your router?

Doesn't work for hosting a website.  Tried hosting my own SMF forum on port 81 but it doesn't work.  Web browsers always use port 80 for HTTP, and since my ISP blocks port 80 I'm essentially screwed.

UNLESS I fork over an extra like $15 a month for upgraded internet services, that's the only way my ISP will unblock port 80...

I hate my cable company...

You should be able to go out on 80, but forward certain traffic to other places, no?
Speaking of hosting forums...iMav started a new forum...

Welcome. Yes it is the Ducky engraved set. SUPER good choice for your first mech - you may never need another board again Lol.
You'll buy one again I'm sure though.

Cheapo QFR. Blacks, branding, Rubber coating, USB channels, I hate damn near everything about this board other than the fact that it's mechanical, and I got it for $51 shipped. It's going to be my modding/soldering practice board.


I don't even feel bad about this picture. This board doesn't deserve better than potato.

^ Good price.  Mine was a bit more than that, but that's Australia for you.

So far mine is a solid board, although one of the first things I did is replace the keycaps.  It is much better now.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

 To have a relevant post here, I got a CMStorm QFR black in the mail from when they were $40 off.  Hooray for rubber dome prices to try another switch!

When I get it.  It was mailed only on Monday.

Edit: I'll have pictures of the realforce I bought up probably before the ssk.  USPS still won't acknowledge the tracking for the ssk exists.
