Uneven keyboard

[luisbg]

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a Leopold FC600M. My first mechanical keyboard.
It arrived today and I am enjoying the cherry switches greatly.

There is a problem with the board though  it wobbles. You know when a table has one leg shorter and you need to stick a folder paper under it to balance it?
When I have the keyboard in angle (with the popup legs) the keyboard wobbles everytime I hit the backspace. Makes it feel uneven and unstable. The wobble is big enough that it makes a thump sound when hitting keys in the top-right of the layout. The bottom-right corner goes up about one millimeter.

For now I have stuck a (twice) folded paper under that leg to make it stable. What do you guys recommend me to do?

The problem is existent but less noticeable when using it flat. But I prefer using my keyboards in an angle anyway. I have a glass table so I am certain the surface is flat.

Is one of the legs missing the rubber piece on it? Or maybe one doesn't have it snapped all the way on?

Have you tried it on other surfaces? Even though the glass table is flat, that doesn't mean that it is level. Try it on the floor and see if it still happens?

If the surface is even and still wobbles, grab the board, hold your hands at the two ends, twist it either way depending on the way it wobbles.

Tried in a few tables. I tried it around to confirm the problem was the legs and not the surface.

All rubber pieces are on and visually look OK.

That helped it. Made it wobble less. Worried I of using too much force when twisting.

Wouldn't the plastic case slowly return to it's original form over time?

Also, I don't think this board went through QA. The 'B' and 'V' keycaps were switched around. It looked like ZXCBVN in the 4th row.

Sometimes the case is not aligned well when being constructed, and twisting will help realign it. You could also try taking it apart and putting it back together. Or asking for an exchange if you're not happy.

I emailed the vendor to hear his input. I would prefer not having to exchange it.

I am really happy with the keyboard. Still want to get an Ergodox and Poker II in the future. But this keyboard is fantastic and already growing attached to it.

I will keep twisting it gently until it aligns well. Probably some mishap in shipment. Meanwhile it doesn't try to slowly return to the uneven form overtime I am happy.

Thanks everybody for their comments. Loving the keyboard now that it feels solid
