Difference Between B.thumb and B.face
« on: Thu, 22 January 2015, 17:20:03 »
They look identical, and both are 60% PCB and case. What is the difference between the 2 cases and the PCB?

Looking at both I can't find absolutely anything different about the two. They both are USB/PS2, same layout, both support macro and key mapping, RGB LED, NKRO, and Mac compatible. I really don't see any other way they could be different

B.thumb owner, can confirm. I'd recommend the B.Face so you wouldn't have to use a little adapter on your usb cable, but that's personal preference.

Thanks. Very minute difference, but a difference nonetheless.

yeah, just since the connector is thinner it can bend and break really easily
