meh smoothness of movement and being able to quickly adjust your aim (flick) will always be much easier on mouse and keyboard.
Almost in every single FPS game you can instantly tell if someone is using mouse and keyboard just by looking at their movement.

oh i get the situation now. yeah that’s fucked. these companies should really pay out of pocket for this kinda stuff. any larger of a company and things like this wouldn’t happen, very unprofessional of them.

Its a very keyboard.

No not really as it cant be used with a modern computer but the Cherry M8 Switches are the worst switches ive ever tried and im sorry for whoever had to use this back in the day.

Chyrosran22 has a video about the board and my opinions are very similar. My board is couple years older than his but same Part NO.

it’s not worth 200 new that hella overpriced

I'm not usually a brown fan, but this is beautiful!

It was provide an alternate address we can deliver to at this price or else pay the extra fee. After waiting a few months and already spending over $250, I wasn't going to say I didn't want it for $50 more.

I think it by default gets moved to a DHL rather than their local post when I pay the premium.

Either way, the LEAST they could do is have an automated message saying they were shut for a few days rather than leaving a customer hanging.

thats so interesting! great post!

I learned something new

Woah, looks great. Any comments on the keeb?

that’s completely insane. will it not be delivered unless u pay 50 or was it just to be faster or more convenient or whatever? i feel like it can’t be legal to have an out of nowhere 50 charge to get ur product

Sorry I broke the thread by mistake and replied to the main post. My frustration is getting the better of me at this point!

I just went to see how much I paid at it was $85! Adding another $50 is just daylight robbery.

I'm literally going to be paying $130 in shipping for a $180 board. Someone may think I live in remote Africa or Antarctica!

In terms of the mechanism, not really. They're surprisingly similar to a Cherry MX switch.

yeah it’s all shipping from HK. i’m surprised they wanted you to pay extra. for me, the base shipping was already like $70 cad

oh thats really cool! are those like buckle spring?

I'm guessing all of this is shipping from China? I was convincing myself that it's the Chinese new year so they are busy. But it's ridiculous how you can't send a link to a guy who is literally ready to pay you extra for shipping! I'm in Qatar and it should be easier to ship to me without charging me a premium.

It uses Cherry M8 switches.

woooooooah why switches are in here alps?

wow, i’ve been hearing a lot of complaints with shipping, i guess i just got lucky. i got mine 3 days ago i think? i’m from canada near toronto btw

That looks like something from the backrooms ngl

Looks awesome! When did you receive the board?

Meletrix have been frustrating me! They needed me to pay extra $50+ for "remote shipping location". I replied to them within 10 mins of their email that I'll pay the extra charge and it took them a week only to send me a wrong link to pay and it's been a week since 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yess sir!

Which switches are in your white board? The browns? Or the custom box?

I love this. We need more big chins.

Ah, that sucks

I think fox is probably sold out everywhere now? I dunno, I ordered it from the group buy like a year ago. Agree that the price is very high for good keycaps, but I’m happy to pay the extra for something that’s manufactured in Europe by people on a good salary with healthcare, where the designer gets paid for the design. Same deal with signature plastics in the US. I try to avoid buying Chinese crap as much as possible. Fuck globalisation.
