Oh no! Which size do you need? You can hardly have a keyboard without CONTROL.matt3o wrote:I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!ilezia wrote:AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT DI DI DI DI DIII DIIIWavefront wrote:I'M SO EXCITED
Backlighting, eh? You know they'll look like this…PoisonHeadcrab wrote:Hey, my keyboard arrives next week too!
Bought me a Ducky Shine 3 (Full Size, MX Blues, White LED) to go along with these awesome caps. (Or rather the caps to go along with the keyboard? Hmm, I'm not sure which...)

I like it. But it's certainly not the usual backlight experience.
Definitely. The Ducky's a fair wee beast. And the tradeoff between these caps and a backlight is hardly a contest at all. Round 4s really raise it to being one of my favourite keyboards, especially for long sessions. That and the MX reds!PoisonHeadcrab wrote:It's mostly your review of that yellow Ducky Shine and the pictures with the Round 4 keys on it, that made me think the bleeding light might not look that bad after all...
And even if I wouldn't like it, from what I've heard the Ducky is a good keyboard regardless of the backlighting.
But it's so fetching on her!7bit wrote:ps: You can take your ball off, now that you paid!

I find these SA profile caps to be the most comfortable that I've ever used. Spherical feels better to me, as do the sculpted row profiles. Also the sheer bulk of the caps adds a nice richness to the typing sound, and of course they look magnificent. I can't find any fault in them. That's why I've ordered up a fair old crate full of Round 5!jefferai wrote: How come?
You can add more, but can't remove your locked order, becuase we will quite soon send all the money to SP, so clearing out orders are not possible anymore.Veebers wrote:Ah cool, thanks 7bit.
Just to confirm, I can only increase the amount of items I've already ordered, not add any more right?

I'd say at least 6 month, but I may be optimistic since there is a lot of packing work.PoisonHeadcrab wrote:What is your best estimation on when production is finished and you'll be able to ship?
I sorta started learning Colemak before, but didn't finish. I have been having some trouble getting used to the Dox though (mostly from not committing to it enough due to lack of time) that I have been thinking that I should perhaps learn Colemak on the Dox, so that my fingers and brain associate one type of keyboard with one layout and 'normal' keyboard with QWERTY. Your post suggests that you think it's a good idea too.Muirium wrote: Anyway, all of the above could be just as true for your ErgoDox. I haven't used one, but I expect I'd work well on one of those with caps like these and MX reds; after adaptation. I keep putting off learning Colemak until I make or buy a split ergo. My current typing style is frenetic and really needs an education!

! I try SA since a week and it needs a little time of adaptation when you come from low profile cylindrical (Cherry/GMK and DCS) but it must be the same with DSA. What I really like is that the extra weight of those caps require less force to type and the homing deep dish is great. What I dislike is the lack of grain on surface : my fingers tend to slip a bit and paradoxically the weight is a weakness too because it's harder to double tap as fast as lighter caps families : the key takes much time to regain its normal high.Muirium wrote:I find these SA profile caps to be the most comfortable that I've ever used.

It's useful if you already touchtype in another layout or if you plan to do it because of work environment. Else, there is no reason to wait.jefferai wrote:so that my fingers and brain associate one type of keyboard with one layout and 'normal' keyboard with QWERTY.
When we reach 100,000 (ie 400%) I add Alps key caps.zhasha wrote:Stop it! You're gonna make mefacetsesame wrote:With a volume like that I bet you could have added ALPS stems, though I respect your right to relative sanity!
I swap daily between Cherry MX with sphericals and Model M with cylindricals and have no problem to adapt, except that 122 keys are definitely too few.Vierax wrote:...

But the wiki says shipping should be in April or May already... So I suppose that was before the deadline got delayed so many times?Vierax wrote:I'd say at least 6 month, but I may be optimistic since there is a lot of packing work.PoisonHeadcrab wrote:What is your best estimation on when production is finished and you'll be able to ship?
