The keys are great, the feel is great, everything is perfect except for the size/length. It's too small even for someone like me with tiny hands. Problem with adjusting too, I seem to be pressing the keys all the way down.  S'all good. Do you mean you got a tenkeyless keyboard? If so just get a fullsize. If you mean the keys are too small, then sorry, mechanical boards are virtually all the same size with the same size keys. Its totally no problem pressing the keys all the way down. It is just more efficient if you only press the keys down to the activation point. | ||

The distance between the left Alt key to QWER feels too short and you have to bend your thumb to rest your finger on it. | ||

Yeah people call the keyboard that doesnt have the numpad part of the keyboard tenkeyless (TKL) | ||

If you can't find an IBM or Dell for your buckling spring needs, I say still buy a Unicomp simply for the advantage buckling springs have over any other switch, and this coming from a lover of the topre 45g. | ||

Virtually all mechanicals have the same key sizes, so your options are sticking with your CM board and hopefully getting used to it. Or just go back to rubber dome keyboards. | ||

I mean, it's all a matter of taste, but buckling springs are my favorite by far. | ||

Do they have NKRO or at least enough xKRO for sc2? Let's say 6KRO or whatever the closest one is.(I forgot what it was) How are the actuation how you feel them? Are they harder or softer? | ||

Do they have NKRO or at least enough xKRO for sc2? Let's say 6KRO or whatever the closest one is.(I forgot what it was) How are the actuation how you feel them? Are they harder or softer? They are harder than any other common Cherry switch (Actuation force: 65-70 g) and a lot louder than even Cherry blues or tactile-clicky ALPS switches. You might like them for typing, but I would strongly recommend against them for gaming. Here's a sound example: | ||

Just curious if this is normal switching from blacks to blues for them to feel kind of off or loose. | ||

The blacks i felt I could hammer down on and not worry about them because I am a very heavy typer but the blues feel like I am doing some damage by pressing hard. Just curious if this is normal switching from blacks to blues for them to feel kind of off or loose. Yes it's normal. Don't worry. They won't break. And as far as buckling springs, they are actually very enjoyable for me gaming but I do tire much faster from the heavy actuation resistance. | ||

I love my Unicomp for gaming; I prefer the higher actuation force if only because it makes each keypress feel a lot more deliberate. Finger fatigue was never really something I noticed, even after long Starcrafting sessions. | ||

Finger fatigue was never really something I noticed, even after long Starcrafting sessions. Too loud and too stiff for my liking. I feel like the higher actuation force and high resistance near the actuation point impedes hand speed. And since finger fatigue in high-APM games can be an issue even with MX-Blacks, it could certainly be an issue with Buckling Springs. | ||
