I agree. Well, patience is a virtue after all. ^_~

They're still not making or planning an ISO version, are they? sixty is working on that. According to him, we essentially will probably need a (much) higher number of orders so that KBC/Vortex considers making an ISO layout version worthwhile. @sixty I would be interested in 1x MX Red version. Howe...

Yes, please. And thank you. I appreciate that.

In the end it turned out okay. I mean we still got the shipment around the estimated original date. So no biggie. I was a bit worried due to the lack of responses, but it seemed they were just busy. Hmm, if that's the case I would be interested in a second group order too. By the way, are there pos...

Nice Review, webwit. As for the keycaps, I don't care. Don't understand why people tend to make a fuss (IMHO) about the print issue. For someone who can typewrite it shouldn't be any issue at all if the keyprinting wears off. (at least IMHO) Besides, double-shots will get shiny too in the course of ...

..I have had a bunch of PMS already asking for new orders, so there will probably also be a second round sometime soon... Really? I thought people were so annoyed about the "ultra low priority treatment" by KBC/Vortex despite of advance payment and so on. I would have really thought that they would...

Nice review, daedalus. ^_^

Yes, please. An ISO poker would be fantastic!

Same here. Next time I'm definitely in too. Perhaps there'll be more options available with the second batch...

I couldn't find such a thing on their site...

He was referring to the manufacturer's site (CST). Fentek is one of the retailers. ^_~

higher is better :) nah joking, just try it, everybody has different likiness <><< awesome word :p Mhh, my Steelseries Xai is set to 900 dpi (only switch to 450 dpi in shooters for sniping). Dunno if that mouse resolution example can be adopted for trackballs, though. Anyways, "trying" is a bit dif...

May I ask which resolution you usually use with the CST trackball?

I'm going to get one too. However, I still have to decide whether to get the model with 1600, 1900, or 3200 cpi.

EDIT: I will mainly use it for Office and internet.

Well, everything's got its drawbacks. ^_~

ok, i'm shure that I want this keyboard... But now I'm unsure about getting it with reds, starting to want the blues... Do you think that the Red Switches will get standard like the blue, or is it another oneoff like last time? Because if the Reds is a oneoff I ofcourse want the reds, but if that n...

Dunno, might be some good workout for me to get myself back in shape.

runeazn wrote:good or bad?

Well, let's say very "surprising". Took me an hour or so to appreciate the difference in tactility in comparison with the browns. All in all I prefer the browns due to their lightness, though. (the blues are almost like excercise to me....)

Read around, watch the videos / reviews and chose :) Unfortunately, none of that can substitute for actually testing a board with red switches. Before I bought a Filco with blues I watched tons of videos on youtube and dug myself through an equal amount of reviews/topics across the net. The experie...

Alternatively the combination CTRL + ALT will do the job as well.

Congratulations man! ^__^

Well, Cherry has never been about looks but functionality and efficiency.

Mhh, da ist schon was dran. Wir Europäer mit unseren "Extratouren" (ISO) hängen immer ziemlich weit hinter her. Mechanische Tastaturen sind in der Tat so langsam wieder in Kommen. Alleine die Tatsache das Razor mit ihrer Black Widow mit auf den Zug aufgesprungen ist, finde ich genial. Nicht dass ich...

Hoping for an ISO layout as well.

Dang, we Europeans have it most difficult getting proper typing equipment. x___X

Ansonsten muss man ja leider sagen, dass im Vergleich zu anderen Länder die Auswahl an dt. Shops sehr mager ist. Vllt tut sich dort in Zukunft mal was. Das liegt daran, dass die meisten Deutschen wohl sehr genügsam sind, was Tastaturen angeht. Hauptsache das Teil hat Styl0r, *bling, bling*, usw. Da...

Great work! I wish I had the skills to build my own keyboard. -__-

I'll give it a try. ^_^ Anyways, nice treat!

Had been using a Logitech MX 510 for more than 6 years. Eventually I switched to the SteelSeries Xai because there were no Vista/7 drivers for MX 510. It's still working fine though. Hope the Xai will make it at least half as long.

Hi, could anyone tell me the recommended distance of the keyboard to the edge of the table? Personally, I like to keep the keyboard relatively far away from me, ~30 cm to be exact, but I'm not sure if that's "good" for me. I was taught to position the keyboard as close to the table's edge as possib...

Guess the clears haven't been to popular to justify the keep them in Cherry's range. Well, as along as they don't ditch the blues and browns I won't complain...

Yeah, before I switched from ML to MX Browns/Blues I hadn't noticed it. But after that they have given me the creeps....
