My only customer service issue with Massdrop was resolved quite satisfactorily. They sent me the wrong colour keycap Poker 2... Gave me 30 bucks to keep it. I'm generally happy to pay for and wait for their shipping... Best deal for Canada as far as I can tell.

The lighting is okay but the abs caps are poo poo where the paint rubs off. I bought replacement Vortex double-shot pbt ones, but someone bought it before I could put them on ha. (Had their own caps.) I had gradient blue calls on it eventually, but the luminous white background looked kind of off.

Got my PC up and running sooner than I expected... CODE pics: Original keycaps (they were far worse by the time I threw them out -- all the common letters were basically smears where there should be a letter ... spacebar looked like hell):  Those Massdrop shine-through blue gradient PBT ones:  They FELT great, but didn't look so good with the backlighting on the CODE. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 04:59 on May 1, 2017 |

I don't know them personally. I hate painted ABS, but double-shot should be okay. They'll get shiny over time but I think it might look/feel okay in that profile. edit: god drat it's SO expensive. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 1, 2017 |

LochNessMonster posted:A few days/weeks ago I asked here about the magicforce68 but ended up not buying it because I really would like to try a true 60% keyboard. What surprised me though is that it seems like most people don't care about the on-the-fly macroing. I use it all the time for repetitive poo poo at work. Poker 2 only allows 15 keystrokes though. 3 does 31. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 15:27 on May 2, 2017 |

pgroce posted:Without derailing too much, what applications do people have that (1) don't require mouse input, just keyboard, and (2) don't have good macro support already? Games, I guess? The amount of programming I do these days is reduced to VBS. I might just macro columns when like ... writing something that creates CSV output. I use the macropad mostly for logging into a couple of clients' VPNs with like 80 characters of username + password I don't want to bother looking up and cutting & pasting every time.

I actually have a brand new set of Vortex doubleshot PBTs if anyone in Toronto wants it for $30. I had intended them for a CODE but the guy I sold it to didn't need them.

Hoping Massdrop does a non-rainbow Pok3r at some point. I want my clears or greens, which aren't compatible with the rainbow lighting. I especially dislike the linear switches which are so prevalent this time. (Though shitloads of options if that's your thing.)

chippy posted:The backlit ones? Where did you find them? Do they have the number key legends side by side or are they stacked vertically? Everwhere seems to be out of stock at the moment, I've been waiting for them to come back on Massdrop. I would say I'd buy them off you but I'm in the UK. Not sure what the shipping would be like from Toronto although I may consider it if you were up for it. I'm guessing my shipping them would cost a lot less than whatever Massdrop does hah. Especially if you're not in a hurry.

I think I might actually get those absurdly expensive Miami Dolch DSA caps from Massdrop. I'm basically approaching peak keyboard ... have a TKL with Clears that works perfectly for me, though I have one with Greens coming. After that basically nothing left for me to try in switches and form-factor.

to get the numpad kit as well to futureproof the purchase.

Since no one recommended Clears ... I'm going to recommend Clears. Sounds perfect to me based on how he described his situation. More resistant, more tactile, not noisy unless you're REALLY pounding on them and bottoming them out. O-rings would help with that. Aside, the most mushy-feeling keyboard I ever had was Blacks. I haven't tried Reds, but guessing linear just isn't for me. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 23:06 on May 14, 2017 |

Have you had white before? Massdrop shipped me the wrong Poker 2 once upon a time ... and gave me a large refund to keep the white-capped one I didn't want. For that price I wasn't going to argue. Thought I'd hate the caps, but they're fine. The PBT doesn't seem to get dirty so easily either.

shifts/enter/backspace/spacebar and the 2U numpad keys have stabilisers. I didn't find them to be much trouble. I'd usually first put the pegs into the key, then lift the metal loop attached to the keyboard, and then hook the pegs into the loop.

I agree with you guys, normally takes ages. My Varmilo numpad exceptionally just shipped to me after less than three weeks from the buy date though. Wasn't promised until late July.

The stock caps were spectacularly lovely in comparison. I don't think all ABS is that bad, but those particular painted caps were. I know some CODE owners though that haven't had the paint-wearing-away problem that chippy and I had.

Doh, have three orders on Massdrop where I can't easily update the shipping address. Hopefully their customer support can handle it. Just thought I'd mention it in case it's an issue for anyone else. I guess these items are shipping directly from the vendor rather than their warehouse.

Gone through half a dozen keyboards at this point and each allowed easy disabling of the Winkey. And it's been pointed out, could just remove the cap too in a pinch.

Do the o-rings actually do anything for the activation click? I thought they were to prevent the bottoming-out clack. Sidenote post office employee refused to give me my package without proof that I work at this address  ... guess he gets to see my pay cheque.

...I love the Cherry MX Greens. But I'm going to assume the click would be annoying as gently caress to anyone else. I effortlessly no longer bottom keys out, besides the spacebar. It just feels "right".
