My new baby! CODE (clears) with Vortex thick pbts (orange)
« on: Tue, 06 May 2014, 20:40:05 »
After 6? Filcos, 2 pures, a hhkb, switches of ALL types (except black because who really wants blacks ha) this IS my favorite board every owned. Favorite switch as well. This isn't going to be a review I will do that later. I just wanted to show her off  :cool: not sure why the non-modifier keys look orange in the second picture, they're definitely white with orange legends. I'm impressed with how well the white leds shine through the thick pbt. Anyway, SEX.

Now to get my white CC skull back from my stupid ex and everything shall be complete!

That is vaguely reminiscent of my Ducky Shine Yellow Edition!

"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

Couldn't agree more on the switch choice. Clears are by far my favorite MX switch (55g topre is my favorite overall)

Looks good, although I didn't expect the LEDs to actually shine through those caps...

So hot (including the potato). Love the colors, and a great board too. By the way, do the backlights shine through all thick PBT? It did on my Shine 3 with OEM caps, but I've seen in lots of pictures that it doesn't seem to with imsto keys and the like. Any experience?

I want to get clears because I want the dampening of a brown switch with more tactile feedback.

How much more tactile are there in your board compared to Browns and Topre?
