I think plates are delivered, but something was missing.

BTW: These are for Round 4, not for Phantom.

It is at least quicker than within Germany. But Germany is a big country.
:geek:

For sure, in little Holland they ship the same day within 3 hours, or so.

Filco Keypuller Best Keypuller. Load in 3 keys at a time pop/pop/pop.

Especially if you have big thumbs.

And you KNOW ladies like men with big thumbs.

When KBC sent sixty and me a Poker review keyboard, they sent it the same day with 24h shipping from Hong Kong or Shanghai, I don't remember. He got it in 1 day, and here Dutch customs sat an additional 3.5 days on it and it got delivered on the 5th day. It was like 16 hours from Hong Kong to Schiphol Airport, and then another 100 for the last 40km.

I think the fastest way would be:

US->HK->DE->NL

As long as it gets there. The last thing I sent to webwit never made it. They're probably using a Northgate Evolution at the post office's reception desk.

Vils' Kindle made it OK, fortunately.

I've been using this keycap puller for a while. It is great for odd size keycaps. Those short plastic ones look like they're more likely to break stems when pulling keys.

am i the only one who dislike this doublehand puller from filco?
it's ok for pulling 120 caps per month, but if you would like to pull 2000 caps or more it's a mess.

this is one of my worst parts from GB R3 ;)

I don't know what you mean by doublehand, but I sure like my WASD keypuller better than Filco's.
It's just the handle, though, which is different.

doublehand = you have to use 2 hands to "attach" to the keycap.
i use a puller which i use one hand to attach the puller and the other hand holds down the keyboard during cap pulling.

Just pulled the O of my G80-1501 with one hand. No need to hold the keyboard down. (Can't do this with ALPS or Key Tronic)

How does your keypuller look like?

I just pulled a key from a Filco TKL with the WASD and the Filco keypuller with just one hand. The other scratched my balls.

I'm not entirely sure how you even want to handle the keypuller with two hands...

I pull keys with this thingy, works quite well, especially for larger amounts of keys. Not much better than leveraging them off with a screwdriver though. I don’t have a Filco key puller, what makes them so special that you’d have to use both hands with them? o,o

I love ghetto keypullers. Some are intricate works of art and some look like backyard abortion tools.

That last one looks like a Narwahl.

I can see the resemblance clearly.
