Tell me about it, I can't wait to feel FR4 for the first time and experience an upgrade to the Zealeo's V2. Actually never even tried foam in a keyboard, never mind a real gasket mount!!!
On the subject of cost, it starts with a $100 keyboard then ends with your credit card company contacting you about unusual activity. LOL.
Genuinely wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy the toys!
Well for those holding their breathe over me and my MonsGeek M1 V5 VIA DIY kit...it's taken 4 days from being picked up by "Yanwen" to leaving the country. And I've heard they're not a very reputable delivery company so fingers crossed it arrives this side of Christmas!
Pick up by local carrier at destination port, so it may be here early next week!Yeh I'm guessing any overseas shipments gonna be rough around this time. With regards to Yanwen, they recently handled shipping for some keycaps I bought from Unikeys, didn't take too long and the tracking info was updated quite frequently.
WOOOOOOOOP!! Money so much better spent. Glad it arrived before christmas.Well obviously it therefore arrived today. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow but quick thoughts so far:
This base is HEAVY! Just metal! I was concerned with what they posted to begin with since the box was so heavy!
Didn't bother with extra stabilser malarkey, just chucked switches and keycaps on it
I like the feel of the switches so I went for so far (Gateron Melodic)
I'm glad I went for this (all in around £150) rather than an extra £200 on something else. Proper nice usb cable as well!
Need to workout wy the fn key on right side is just green (battery? Connection?)
Did I say it's HEAVY?!?!?!?
Proper workout tomorrow with office work, but so far, so good!
Enjoy! I've got the V2 QMK with Akko x TTC demon switches and adore itWell obviously it therefore arrived today. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow but quick thoughts so far:
