Are we allowed to post things we got in the mail here or just animu?
j/k
New toy arrived today:
This wasn't terrifying at all. That tube is about twice as long as the keyboard, and not actually big enough to contain it properly as evidenced by the bulge. Gleeeeep. More people need to learn box surgery. >_<
Forgot to take a naked pic, I got it secondhand without keycaps. Here it is with them:
Nice thick white/blue doubleshots I got literally thrown at me at the Bay Area keyboard meetup. They look dead sexy with the white backplate. I have no idea what brand or material they are rofl. They feel so much nicer than the keys on my Monoprice did though.
The Code and my Monoprice. Poor Mono looks so unsexy next to the Code. I still love you, Monoprice board.
Obligatory potato shot of the backlighting. I have it on the lowest brightness. Doesn't make it though the white at all but it actually does get through the blue a bit on some of the keys, moreso if I turn it up higher. I like the lowest setting, it's just this nice diffuse glow between the keycaps that does not turn up at all in a poorly lit cellphone shot.
Clears. Not as stiff as I'd feared but I learned that already at the meetup. Been using it for a few hours now, despite the heart attack-inducing packing job it seems to have made it to me perfectly fine. Apparently this keyboard and cockroaches will survive the nuclear holocaust. I miss the clack a little, but there's plenty of tactile feel. I don't bottom out as much either, which is good in the long run since my finger pads would hurt sometimes from typing on the blues.
I kind of want a board with greens now, just for the clack.
Also, Costar stabilizers are satan and I want them to die in fires.
