How often can you reattach and clean the tape? Since if i would buy one i would do it multiple times a day?
I would rate it at twice a day for a month before the first time you should have to clean it as long as you're putting it on a clean surface. You can extrapolate from there, so if you doubled it you'd probably have to clean it for the first time a few weeks after you got it.Shizuyi wrote:

The video is perfect because you said my name perfectly!Kaas wrote:
Got my keypad in the mail today!
Smoothest switch I've ever used, and awesome build quality as well.
Decided to make an (awful) video of my first impression/review.

Unless you're playing AR11 no. Just change your offset to like -8 ms.Magicrider wrote:
Hey thnikk, your keyboards seems really cool; I'd like to buy one but I have some questions to ask because I don't want to waste my money stupidly:
Is 8ms a too high latency to play Osu? I'm actually playing Osu since 4 months ~~ with my laptop, I would like to have mechanical switches since a long time and I don't want to buy a 200$ keyboard, so this would be the best for me. But I don't know what really 8ms represents in Osu!, and I can't buy the keyboard v2.1 because I don't have a micro usb port on my laptop and I can't find any adaptator.. I don't even know how much latency there is on a true mech keyboard.
Can someone tell me, is 8ms latency a real problem to play or this is not even noticeable ? Thanks
This does nothing whatsoever to solve the problem. Having a polling rate of 125Hz means the input is sampled anywhere from 0-8ms late. All you've done is (a desync the music and b) make the input poll exactly the same on a different polling period.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

I would say Zenith is right regardless of offset. If you're serious about the game and want to be in the top ~10k, the investment in a v2.1 is probably worth it. If not, you will probably never notice.Magicrider wrote:

Oh, okay!Thnikk wrote:
Also, all of my keypads come with a USB cable. The interface on the keypad itself is micro-USB but a micro-USB to USB cable is included. All you need is a USB port
A review would be greatninjastarr wrote:
ordered an RGB yesterday, expecting great things~
also i might review it but dont hold me to this
Do you mean the location on the keyboard? As far as I know, the metric is inconsistent since some manufacturers would say row 1 and some would say row 4, but they're all row 1 according to the chart from signature plastics here.samotoda wrote:
What is the location of keycaps you selected? if I want to use my own custom keycaps, what is the location of them?
Sorry, but credit card + paypal is the best I can do. If something like PSC was more ubiquitous here in the US I'd be more willing to accept it, but as it is it's like giving me foreign currency.Elric wrote:
one thing you can look forward aswell is other payment methods, not everyone has a visa to get one ://
I do really like these. I was planning on adding them to the shop once everything calms down a few months ago but it never did. Thanks for reminding meZenithPhantasm wrote:
Can't go wrong with these.
What would those be? I plan on getting blues and more clears with the next Gateron drop (whenever that happens, request here if you want them sooner.)Accurian wrote:
Really wanted to get the RGB variant, but they didn't have the switches I preferred.

I plan on getting blues and more clears with the next Gateron drop (whenever that happens, request here if you want them sooner.)I'm not sure if it's possible to have Cherry Blue switches on the RGB version, but I've actually purchased a v2.1 already so it's too late for that now.
Unfortunately it isn't possible since the RGB requires the transparent housing of the Gateron switches. Maybe if Cherry would just release their RGB switches for everyone... nah, that'll never happen.Accurian wrote:

You're fine, you got the last onesMagicrider wrote:
Hey thnikk, just ordered my v2.1 keypad yesterday; I took the 8 bit keycaps but I saw today that they are out of stock, I was wondering if I took the last ones or if I have to choose another one? Because it's not shipped yet :/
There's always Kailh switches which support RGB LEDs. It MIGHT be possible to replace the Kailh switch mechanism with Cherry's.Thnikk wrote:

I know for sure you can switch the mechanism in a Gateron switch, but it's not really worth the time to carefully swap out internals when it would be easy enough to mess something up and there's not enough of a difference between Cherry's switches and Gateron's.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

Usually about 5-7 days after it's been shipped. Yours will be out Monday morningTomoko Kuroki wrote:
Bought the basic keypad with clear Gateron switches. Expecting good things!
EDIT: How long will it take to ship to the east coast of Murica?

I hear these are very light, might I suggest putting some kind of heavy metal block inside then put some rubber feet on the bottom? I see things like that in budget gaming mice all the time, one time I had a heavy CM Storm Devastator mouse and I opened it to find 90% of its weight on a led block.
I might actually open my keypad and do just that when I get it.
I would implore you at the very least to try the tape first. It seems like the people with doubts before buying and people who didn't know the tape could be cleaned have been the most vocal. A lot of people have told me they've had no problems with the tape (including CelticDog in his post immediately before yours) nor have I.Shizuyi wrote:
I like the idea. Without having one of the keypads i can say that i would trust the metall block more than the taps. Especially because i would reattach them multiple times a day.
They are currently limited to MX-style switches. Sorry, but I don't really have any plans to change that when taking all of the logistics into consideration.The Gambler wrote:
Now that I've received my first paycheck in a while, these keypads look really attractive to me. I'm just wondering whether I'm limited to MX-style switches or can I go Matias Tactile Pros on these switches as well?
Thanks for reporting this. Since the side button is low priority (relative to the face buttons) I'll make this change for both the v2.1 and RGB models (just a little bit lower though.)Smc wrote:
Got my v2.1 with Gateron Clear switches about a week ago and I must say it works really well. The only issue I had was the side button spamming itself when clicked but I simply changed the delay to 250ms and it works perfectly now. I love it
