It arrived today from 42.tar.gz in Germany. Packaging was excellent. Very happy with this. Photos will be here when I sort out my Ubuntu*
So, initial thoughts on my first Cherry based board as a dedicated Buckling Spring fan.
I like this. It feels easier to depress the keys, though I have to Maintain focus on not bottoming out. It is much much quieter, the Fiancée will adore this, as she has had to put up with 1391406's and the M13 for a long time, and the PC is in the front room. Physically, I like the angle it sits at with the legs up.
I need some Keycaps for it though, as Her Ladyship is not interested in Touch typing, and the German layout will get to her. I might force the issue and go Otaku with this though, as i think she will find it easier to use blank caps Vs being distracted by printing that does not correspond to the set layout on the PC.
I have already switched the Y and Z keys, but with the difference in the angle of the caps, this *bugs* me. Anyone fancy trading for some Cyrillic Doubleshot Alps caps? ;-)
*After I plugged it in, and restarted, my Ubuntu decided it wasn't going to play nicely. Packages rebuilt, X started, but it's denying me permissions to mount anything other than the EXT and swap partitions.
