No worries......will provide a detailed look all around the keyboard. I may even weigh the beggar to see how heavy it is.

It's blue cherries, hence the blue click clack
best thing is it is MJ2 so has blue lights, but still has the classic silver logo, I was worried the logo might be black, having seen pics of both

This has to be the last purchase for this Month. The keyboard spending is starting to get ridiculous now.

no argument here, that thing is wild and crazy

Mehkat chuck some PBT Blues on that white board will look hot!!!

I will probably do a set from WASD with a colour scheme like the Dolch set (black modifiers and grey letters)

The guy I bought this off wrongly included a set of what I think are blank pbt caps, but it doesn't look like a full set of anything, no modifiers/spacebar, 90 of them but all different heights for different rows, I will sell them when I can work out wtf they are

[Bertross]

thats crap i would have been really angry.

Chuck them on

[mehkat]

Yes well... this was the thing I was moaning about that I thought was lost in the post - turns out the guy hadn't even sent it yet. Paid on Xmas eve and it took him 5 and a half weeks to ship then he gives me the wrong shit.

The extras that weren't included in my package presumably someone else got and he is going to refund me for, but I am waiting for that to happen before I go and flame his feedback thread on gh

edit: ohhhh they do look nice those blue caps, I am a bit broke atm though, just bought a bike I have been trying to find for about 18 months so got a pricey build on my hands but I will keep an eye on that thread thanks!

edit: oh it's CONUS only

PFFT Yeah tell me about it, I love the clicky sound the ducky has, way different to the other blues I have used and now I wish I had more keys for more random colours haha!!!

Dammit, time to have a different colored keyboard for a different day methinks!!!

This KB has taught me to wash my hands regularly and it's paying off. Mine are still in good colour(the off-white helps and thankfully it's not white-white that Apple use) and I have less cooties

Now just waiting for the Round 4 keycaps that seems to have spiralled into a stage of limbo - too many options me thinks.

So true, with the all white Filco, I always have to wash the hands before usage. Each time I'm away moving dusty stuff around, I have to clean my hands before returning back to the Filco.

Yes, I have had my order in now for more than 4 weeks hence I would like to see the Round 4 ordering to end. I want four sets for my remaining Cherry boards.

[kandrews]

Just spoke with Richard Nagy, the guy who creates everything related to "SteamPunk" and he offered me a choice in what Colour LEDS for him to install on my Keyboard.

He provides a choice of these colours; blue, red, violet, green, amber, pink, or white. I don't have a Green coloured led keyboard so I went with Green.

The leds look like plastic jewels hence I wanted my leds to sparkle like Emeralds.

Damaged in transit!? What is this?
I want my keycaps!

*orders expedited shipping this time*

Edit: New Keypad also!

Anyone still going ahead with that Unicomp Ultra Classic group buy? I recall a mention of it ages ago but nothing eventuated from it.

[Bertross]

[mehkat]

Nah not me, I am out - seen no mention of it for a while, but the last thing I need right now is another keyboard
