LOL... contradicting yourself????  sweat.gif
if dont want send to hospital, then send to someone to help you change switch, KL now got some people who can help. Else what you want to be done? you think is caused by software where you can solve the problem by software updates?  sweat.gif

the recommendation is always send to RMA, if it is still under warranty, best way, always  smile.gif

LOL sort of, if I have to choice of software updates and RMA, I rather choose updates. Then again, RMA or give other ppl do, I rather RMA. tongue.gif

I haven't tested on a notepad to prove this is a real issue to send for RMA (currently at night shifts), I worry that they tested out fine and return me the same thing.

Standard as like other mech kb are.

But their curves design at the front do provide extra comfort over sharp and edgy one.

Congrats, you are the first white rat here to get the board. tongue.gif jk jk.

Btw, how long it takes from order to reach you? Total damage?

Looks forward for a for reviews of it, with disassembly even better. rclxms.gif the board any visible or noticeable flaws like slanted keys or squeaky stabiliser? How does the stock POM keycaps feel like?

For keycaps compatibility, i guess all standard keycaps will do. Though, to be safe, try to remove the spacebar to make sure it first. Also, words of warning, be extra careful while removing keycaps from it, I not sure if the stock keycaps are tight or not.

For blue fonts on white keycaps, seems like imsto thick dye sub are your only choice.

Sorry guys, wasn't active these few days, mood spoiled because my friend was involved in the Genting bus accident sad.gif

Anyway, I will try to answer as much questions as I can biggrin.gif

The parcel took about two weeks to reach Australia, total damage is about 122 USD after including the 10% service charge. Postage fee to Australia is killing me though, I bet you can easily get a RM20 postal fees if you have it send it to Malaysia.

What kind of disassembly you looking for? A full torn down? tongue.gif This is my first mkb so I am not even sure if I am qualify for that, unless you sifus give me some proper guide for that laugh.gif

As for the flaws, there is one thing I notice, the spacebar does get squeaky if I tap them fast enough, I have a pretty fast typing speed, so it gets pretty noticeable when I tap them quick enough. The other thing is the font of keys. To be honest, they looks ugly, I think they look like alphabets written in chinese font, no kidding. I will take more photo when I got the time. That's why I am looking for a new keycaps sets biggrin.gif

I thought there is a response time issue when I first got it because I used the wireless mode right away. Keys took longer to register than normal wireless keyboard, disappointed me a little. Thankfully they are quickly resolve by plugging them into the PC first and install the proper drivers.

POM keycaps feels great, it has a matte texture that feels good to touch. However, I never use a ABS or PBT to tell you the difference, sorry.

So....any good keycaps set to recommend? rclxms.gif

Feel sorry for that.

Back on topic. So you shipped the board all the way directly to Aus? Using what services? Cause krymian is also interested in such services.

Seems like china boards' most noticeable flaws are their stabiliser... Try so lube or apply some grease to the stabiliser first and see if it helps.

Regarding their keycaps, I think their targeted audiences are gamers. Another china gaming boards by them also using same fonts.

So the wireless input delay is significant? Cause mine having a very slightest delay that are barely noticeable when normally using, but somehow bordering a little during fast faced FPS (I have OCD on that...)

If full disassembly is too complicated, then how about some detailed photo session of the parts like switches, plates, stabilizers and so on. Also if possible, the weigh of it.

I have a feeling the default printing on the Poker 2 caps will fade in no time, should be laser prints? Need to get used to the function keys and shortcuts before I get myself a set of white blank keycaps. Too many functions to remember -.-

Yar, it is laser printed. If it happens to fade on yours, please try to rub the printing off to see if they can "become" blank thick PBT biggrin.gif, if they did, im going to do that on mine.

Thanks, yea he died sad.gif

I was using TaobaoFocus, decent automated service, but pretty expensive. I will try to apply so grease later.

I just can't take the font, they have inconsistent shapes and case, i.e. "B" key was wrote in lowercase b while most of them are written in uppercase rclxub.gif I saw the Raindrops set from geekhack and love them in first sight, too bad the groupbuy has ended and there is no way of getting them now sad.gif Did anyone of us here manage to get that Raindrop set?

The wireless mode got better once I install the keyboard driver by plugging it into the PC, not very noticeable now, but you might feel a difference if you type really fast ( I have an average WPM of 120 so sometimes I do notice the slight delay tongue.gif )

Yea I will capture some photos once I got home. biggrin.gif
