Reply to comment by Hootinnanny87 in Finished my first ever mechanical keyboard build! The KBDCraft Kit Adam! Amazing since the case is made of LEGOs! by Reddit_newguy24
No, I have not, and I am getting a little annoyed. Take a look at THIS. I contacted their support and they replied one time last week with:
> "Can you try to adjust the metal contact to allow the pin inserting?"
Which I tried a little but cannot without damaging the board ... I believe. I have email'd them three times since their initial response and they have not responded to me. At this point, I am going to start advising against ordering from KBDcraft.

Very happy to hear there will be another round of these. Unfortunately mine disappeared after they changed hands from Prevail to the post office so I didn't end up actually getting to be in on the first round. It's a shame that the space is losing a big company and I feel for all those involved. Hopefully the partnership with Novelkeys proves fruitful!

Do the flex-cuts noticeably change the feel in your experience?

I was away from the keyboard hobby for a bit so didn't follow any news. Just sent a PM with info. Thanks!

Excited for your new partnership! Salute to Previal Key Co! I still have my nebula switches from when you showcased them and now I will hold them a bit tighter.

Unfortunately as we’re more than 90 days from announcing the issue and Prevail has unfortunately filed for bankruptcy, you’ll need to hold out for replacements. If you’ll message me the email you used to purchase and your order number, I’ll flag you when Prevail forwards the sales data.

To be a chessboard, lower left corner must be black. This is a checkersboard

Which one is this? I was looking for a 75 with a complete row of 4 on the right hand slide (most only have 3)

I was looking around, because this is a cool idea, and there are folks on etsy that will make a chess piece keycap. I think a red rook (because you can press the top) would be a cool ESC key accent.

Reply to Hot swap boards are terrible for travel by shizzy0
I have had a pretty good track record of traveling with my preonic. Though I also have a case for it, which certainly helps.

Reply to Hot swap boards are terrible for travel by shizzy0
Its got absolutely nothing to do with being hot-swap, and all to do with your choice of plate.
An acrylic top plate is not 1.6mm thick which is what the switches are designed to grip, but 2mm or 3mm instead. So you aren't locking the switches in place as designed, but simply have them stuck in there as 'press fit'.
All on you for making a choice of aesthetic over function.

Just now found out about the badseed tactiles having issues. I had just barely soldered them onto my keyboard. Is a refund still an option? Or only replacements?

I like it, but all day every day I would be staring directly at the space key wishing it was half black.

I type lightly and didn't feel any difference, maybe for someone that uses more pressure.
