It's tomorrow now
How's it going?
and remember, i put a ''gift'' in there for mrinterface so don't say what it is.

Yes, it's on its way

What an excellent in-depth description of the switches. Thanx for that!

I was also wondering why it took so long before you got it... Europe mail I guess....

Regards.

Thank you :)
This was my first ''review'' I've written, glad that you liked it.

The mail thing messed up a bit, I moved away ...

Hello, Today I have received the bag!
Thank you for sending it to me :)

OK, I will start writing my first impressions of the switches.
I will start With the ALPS and the the cherrie berries.

ALPS
Grey clicky:
Sound: This switch is clicky, it has a low pitched click (sounds like Clock Clock ...

So Slaps, have you received the bag yet?

Cool idea
Very nice, good job!

But it would be fun to have this as an F13 button:

Was talking about a complete keyboard set though, not a single key.

Yes I know, but still.

Quantity. One set costs almost as much as 10. Setup costs. I don't remember exactly the last time I saw a complete quote, but I think one set was like $900. But at a hundred, you're down to only tens of dollars per set.

:( Okay, then I'll skip that.

Should I connect the LEDs directly to the USB power, or should I connect them to the PCB LED rail?

If I connect it to PCB, then I will still be able to use the 5 light modes right?


Use the already made led rail, then follow the rail that already powers the single led present and try to ...

I'm invincible!..BZZZT! BLARGHH!

Well, I don't have any grounding on any of my keyblorbs :/

It's not a Fluke that I mention measurements > speculation.

Here I am testing Why The EU DEMANDS their citizens be protected with spacebar grounding clips. In America we LAUGH at such silly regulations and eat genetically modified food because we can.

Thinking of having only some LEDs, maybe only for the escape button or some others too.

But the question is: what colour?

Looks nice, happy colors c:

Maybe it was a temporyry switch, one that was made just at that time in small quantity.

That way it may not be so well known.

Imagine having some 3w leds to it, and hook it up to the computer games effects "flashbang through the door" wham!
Sell it to razer and they come up with a slogan : experience a keyboard with blinding visual game effects $$$

Wow, that was random.

Well, not if they are very small, and the bag was quite big too.

And if it gets full, blend it. Saves space

hoggy wrote:Cool idea. How about they put 2 items in the bag? The next person to get the bag takes one and puts another in.

Oooo! yes! That would be better... but then some gifts will never reach Mrinterface :/

I have an idea!

Each person who receives the bag puts a small object in the bag, just something random.
In the end Mrinterface will recive many gifts from those who put something in the bag

I think that would be nice, what do you say?

Wooo!

I mentioned it in my review or first impressions I think. Actually there are indeed holes for every switch> I never fully tried to see if it would work if you fill them all. You will need to close the circuit to find out, so just doing a few prolly won't do the trick.

PS: The PCB is indeed ...

Do anyone have a pic or know if there's holes for LEDs in the PCB on the normal Blackwidow?

Maybe they don't make two different PCBs, and therefore have the holes on the normal version too.

I was looking around for reviews and such, but the only thing I found was nothingness.

How do I know which switch is which?

Should I just take the key cap off, or is there a mark on them?

And the journey begins...

I PM'd you Mrinterface
