I realize it's not needed; it's just something I want because I like to be meticulous with that type of thing. It might seem stupid to you, but it's only $5 and gives me peace of mind, so I'm cool with it (I also got the lavender WASD and red Escape keycaps, so I have an immediate reason for it). About quick tapping: blues also sometimes have a problem where double-tapping is a little messed up. It doesn't happen for everyone, but basically you can have it so that the key, when it doesn't rise back up fully on a quick double press, will not actuate again because of the small range you're allowing it. I'm not describing it well, and it usually isn't an issue, but it's something you should know about. Regardless, a mech keyboard should be better for that. osu! or something else? | ||

Nah I don't think it's stupid, and it makes sense if you want to be really careful, but if you want to save a couple bucks/shipping I was just pointing out that you don't really need it. | ||

Brian (Majestouch) got back to me really quickly and said that they're working on a new supplier for them and that he doesn't expect anything for several weeks. It looks like I'll be pulling manually if I want to put the specialized keycaps on right away. He also told me (since I asked, of course) that my keyboard will be shipping Monday! I have to say, I'm really impressed that the customer service has lived up to everything I've heard. I'm pretty sure he used my email address to double-check my order time since I didn't give him an order number or anything, so I'm impressed he took the time. Also, if any of you GeekHack lurkers were curious, he won't be changing his name from Majestouch; says it's a part of his history and such.  | ||

As you can see, I ordered last Friday evening. Brian said it would ship Monday and it did, indeed, ship late Monday evening. It hasn't arrived yet that I know of, but it should be in tonight (for some strange reason FedEx always delivers to that specific area late). That's 3-day shipping for you folks following along at home. Pretty good when you consider that the site didn't even say they were "in stock" at the time (but, again, I think that's just because some of the text doesn't get updated very well and it's also during the launch period for the board). | ||

Like I said, I still very much prefer this keyboard over the Filco because the keys feel more sturdy and not as "plasticky" and the detachble USB is a plus ^^. I just wish that the keys didn't get shiny/oily quickly. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do though :D | ||

Some ways to explain: 1) You just got unlucky. 2) You bought from Korea and EliteKeyboards does an extra quality check. Therefore you're more likely to get the most . . . perfect (not sure about that word choice) product possible. | ||

I lean towards #1 simply because I've heard great things about the Leopold keycaps. This is the only time I've heard a complaint, actually. (Edit: And, to give you an idea, I've read at least 20 pages of the GeekHack thread on them. Probably a good deal more.) | ||

Are the tenkeyless the only Leopolds they're carrying? For people who've tried mx blues, are they loud enough to annoy other people in an office or other people at a LAN? | ||

They ship to Canada, not sure about costs (I think on GH they said $40 because international but not sure). Yes, they say they may carry full size in the future but it depends on the supplier, costs, etc., and I would not count on it soon. Most people would not recommend using blues in a public setting because the clicking can get annoying. | ||
