Brian... Here in Israel, FedEx and EMS do charge extra for retrieval from Customs. I recently had this happen to me on an order from Unicomp, shipped FedEx. The FedEx charge to Israel was $60.15 (heavier package), and then FedEx charged me another $35 (approximate) to get it out of customs, and to m...

Sonny - I have keys that are dimmer. They don't flicker or dim. They come on and stay dimmer than the other keys.

What if you pull the keys off and take a look at the LED? Isn't it about the same level as the other ones. Still half as bright. The lettering on the caps and the position of the LED (bottom of the switch) tricks the eye. At least if i'm looking at the keyboard. Not a trick... Difference is quite l...

Backlighting on KBT Pure and Race keyboards

There were a few GH threads on problems with the backlighting on the Race and/or Pure failing after some weeks/months of use. Any further word on this? I just received a Race, and it came with 5 keys where the backlighting is dim (about half as bright as the other keys, at all levels of brightness).

That's what I thought. So, either I lost one on the floor (the first time I pulled the key), or Noppoo's QC missed it. Either way, I need to get a WASD order together (so that the parts to shipping costs ratio doesn't suck too much).

Thanks for the help...

After more messing around with the Mini, I realized that I hadn't broken off the slot of the Enter key - I had simply pulled the piece out of it's socket. So, I returned the three keys to the way they originally were (with the stabilizers), to await lubricant. However, I discovered that the Backspac...

Ended up removing the stabilizers in both the Enter and Backspace keys, and think I'll buy and use some heavy lube to quiet the Spacebar. Paper is a sloppy and tedious way to handle this annoyance.

Thanks Guys

On these smaller keycaps, what is the purpose of the stabilizer?

Plastic Slot Broken During Enter Keycap Removal

Wanted to fix the rattling on the Backspace, Enter, and Spacebar of my Choc Mini, by putting paper under the stabilizer bars. Backspace process went fine. However, when removing the keycap on the Enter key, I broke off the piece of the cap that holds the stabilizer. Put back the cap without the stab...
