btw they have a returns policy, if anyone doesn't want there board with this new infomation tell me now and I will refund you.

40mins till I place the order. No more takers?

fossala · 13 Nov 2011, 21:42

20 mins till the order. Last chance.

fossala · 13 Nov 2011, 22:03

All orders are paid for, enjoy.

I hope I haven't caused any 'distress'...

If any of the recipients want to post pics, I'm happy to wait until then. Besides, the board looks much better with the keycaps on (they do look quite smart). Pretty heavy board for its size.

Is it programmable?

fossala · 15 Nov 2011, 11:11

They have been dispatched and are on the way to me, postage is 3-5 days so should be here by the end of the week.

Looks very similar to this Devlin POS at taobao. Comes in Cherry MX Brown.

Delvin bought out Alphametric so I guess some changes have been made.

fossala · 15 Nov 2011, 15:21

They turned up a minute ago. Not cherry compatible. They are linier mechanical switches. They will be posted tomorrow.

fossala · 15 Nov 2011, 15:32

Taken mine apart. They seem to be a capacitive mechanical switch.
Does anyone that I am shipping them to want any free o-rings. I have 125 I want to give away.

Learnt something at least

Please send me the keycaps anyway, who knows what they're going to be good for

And thanks again.

Do you want any free o-rings?

Drat, I've seen those on ebay and passed...

Got mine, this is one heavy bugger. Unfortunately, one of the corners is busted while the other one is merely chipped. The postmen probably played football with the box because there's a nasty rattling noise coming from inside the unit and one of the plastic screws is broken.

Also, as previously noted, not Cherry MX. What can those keycaps be used for?

Cheers

fossala · 24 Nov 2011, 18:17

Sorry I wrapped it up pretty good. I don't want mine so you can have it for shipping if you want?

Half-Saint · 24 Nov 2011, 18:19

Nah, I think I'll just harvest the caps and toss the rest. Now that Devlin POS board on Taobao looks very interesting...

Thanks for the group buy

what switches does it have?

fossala · 24 Nov 2011, 18:41

Capacitative mechanical. Anyone can have mine for postage.
