These boards have always had QC issues, a total of 34 pages worth of them if you search by keyword. Even then, there's probably a lot more.
The paint issues from the 4700 repros were the worst, but it doesn't stop there. We've had so many issues with newer beamspring models, as well as issues with ...

I’d agree with a Model M, though would advise against a reproduction Model F. Those things are unfortunately a lottery, and Chyros’s reviews are not an accurate representation of what you get delivered.
Expect to spend hours troubleshooting, only to find out it’s a defect that should and would have ...

Can’t decide if i like the r4 design, its extremely minimal.
R3 was nice, similar shape to R1 but looked way more modern, i still need to pick up a full size black r3 for work. Thankfully the prices are coming way down, especially for used units

Interesting that his one came pre-assembled...I had to put mine together lol. Still though, I'm happy with mine, especially after figuring out exactly why my space bar kept binding (had to push the right stabliser bar bracket further back so the stab bar could actually get some horizontal movement ...

Been like it for a while unfortunately, don’t think we’ve heard a thing from the new owners.
I blame webTwit for selling out in the first place

Colinf just return it to ellipse and get a replacement or refund. You shouldn’t need to troubleshoot a brand new item that is clearly defective.

"Most of this community". Have you suddenly been elected spokesman? Or is just you and the mice in your pocket?


Well considering you've barely been here for 5 minutes, I'd say I know the community's general feeling better than you not that one really exists these days since DT dies a bit more ...

Most of this community have a strong distaste for Joe and his business practices. There was huge backlash when he tried to get other people to buy DT for him

Imagine replying to me after 2 months and starting this up again. Joe probably wishes you stayed quiet. Absolute cretin.

You, sir, are a fanatic.

Wow, you still sound like a dumbass even ...

Welp I tried to DM you but this sites a broken mess. I assume I’m too late anyway

(Yes, I know I don't have the "Industrial" keys in the right place, but I'm just going to use them for media keys)

Haven't put the solenoid in yet; it took me a while to set up because I had to open the inner assembly.


Bruh wtf happened lol, why is this gap so ...

That is an admirable effort by you, for sure. I believe that Joe should be pressured into doing repairs like that. However, since Joe does not face any sort of repercussions for not providing services after you agree to his terms of sale on the website, I'm afraid repeating the same 3 points over ...

My point is that you've already adequately called him out. Now you're being a nuisance to other users, not just Joe. How does that help anyone on DT?


It doesn't, but he doesn't care. He's got such a blind hate on that he is only interested in tearing Joe down, and he doesn't give a single ...

I hadn’t called him out for the most recent case of him asking people for help while offering nothing in return, all the while profiting from their work.
It’s sweet that you’re protecting him so much, but I can assure you if you had an issue with your board he wouldn’t give a flying fuck about ya

@wobbled I've seen you posting on Ellipse's main thread quite a bit, and most of the messages have been some sort of argument or clapback. I understand you don't like how Ellipse does things (I'm not a fan of quite a few decisions he has made), but at this point I think you've adequately expressed ...

Leyden Jar update and request for help:

So far over 130 F122's and their Leyden Jar controllers have shipped. After some firmware updates the reports are good so far!

Here are some plans for the Leyden Jar controller:

Need help - Split communication between halves, with one half powering the ...

Joe needs to cover these tariffs IF they go ahead, but we all know he will try anything to worm his way out of paying anything.


Please forgive me if I missunderstood what you are saying (I am Swedish) but are you suggesting that Joe should pay the extra tariff costs himself? Because, I don't ...

Why would I want to continue messaging someone in private that gets ‘sexual release from their own reflection’? I should really be reporting this, pretty creepy to say the least…

But anyway, so long as what im saying remains relevant to the thread, i will just continue to put it in here. You’re the ...

I guess genericusername hasn’t figured out how to climb out of Joe’s arse yet.
He would defend Joe if the guy was banging his wife.

Good job piping down little man


Insults only work if the recipient respects you. Send that PM if you want to talk, otherwise refrain from doing so. I assume every response from you in this thread will be on-topic and relevant to the discussion going forward.

My comments in this thread have ...

I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with defending this guy, but anyway clearly you don’t know tariffs, allow me to help. I know you swedes don’t really have any great universities so your education may leave something to be desired.
You are from the US so any comment on education is an instant ...

All right, ENOUGH!

I don't know why you insist on bashing Ellipse every chance you get, but KNOCK IT OFF! You think the guy's a slimeball. Fine. We get it. You don't have to keep throwing it in his (and our) face!

If you don't think he's a reputable businessman, then don't buy from him. But ...

If the boards are already paid for then legally it would be a ...

This is on Ellipse to pay anyway as he is the one importing them from China.


Tariffs are paid by the end customer, always. That's how tariffs work. Otherwise companies would sacrifice their profit margins which won't happen. Not here nor anywhere else. If people understood this before voting ...

As noted in the manual, intermittent issues are sometimes due to dust or debris inside the keyboard, if replacing the springs and correctly reinstalling them does not fix the issue. The quickest way to fix this issue permanently would be to remove the keys and replace the springs and flippers with ...

This could all be avoided if QC existed and was coupled with spending more than chump change on shipping materials lol

Oreo its time to demand a replacement, Joe is only looking out for himself here and doing everything he can to not have to send you a new one.
