El_Capitan Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I don't like the grayish cover, and the mini-USB cable attachment, but otherwise, looks like they did everything else right. I wish you could choose your backlight color, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajt_leo2002 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I don't understand how you used the o-rings to quiet down the keys. I may have missed it in the review, but I've read each page several times and only see it mentioned in the conclusions. Can you provide more details about that?

I may have missed it in the review, but I've read each page several times and only see it mentioned in the conclusions. Can you provide more details about that? Google is your friend o rings are often used to Quieten mechanical keyboards. Stonerboy said it right there. Rubber o-rings can be placed on the backsides of the keys to help quiet down the clicky claky-ness of the keyboard. It really just prevents the keys from hitting the bottom where it's plastic on plastic causing the click clack. It doesn't completely deaden the sound but it does make a huge difference. I'd been wanting to try out the o-ring method for awhile, this keyboard was definitely the one for it. Here's some more information on them if you want to "hear" a difference. link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Nice review, I'm liking how many mechanical keyboards are coming out these days, can only mean better prices as the supply of them goes up Also, I want to see the box fort you have made with all those case and keyboard boxes. Don't lie, I know there is one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Nice review, I'm liking how many mechanical keyboards are coming out these days, can only mean better prices as the supply of them goes up Also, I want to see the box fort you have made with all those case and keyboard boxes. Don't lie, I know there is one Thanks... To be honest -- a lot of the cases go right back in the boxes after I'm done with the review. I've got so many it's a not stop process of testing, swapping and testing another. I've got a bunch of cases stacked up at the moment and to be honest -- all the keyboard boxes are about gone -- people call dibbs as soon as the reviews go up. If anyone is really enjoying the box "fort" it's my cat...haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Nice review Blue What makes people like the mechanical keyboards so much more than the membrane style that is so much quieter with out additional o rings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Another nice review @BluePanda. I don't like the white color of this keyboard. Another point I would like to mention is the misplacement of mini-usb port. It would be better is they came up with v2 or something like that even without that mini-usb port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did google this yesterday before I saw your link, but I will check out the video/audio/flash whatever that the WASD site contains when I go home and can view the video/audio/flash whatever. Work does not allow me to view video/audio/flash whatevers. I am sad. But happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
