NMB RT8255cw Erase-Eaze - My First Space Invaders
Posted: 16 Nov 2018, 03:58
Hello all! My first post on Deskthority, and I wanted to open it up with pictures of my *new to me* NMB RT8255cw Erase-Eaze black clicky space invader board! I have to say, I am absolutely in love with how the board feels. It's extremely dirty (23 years of grime sitting on this plate!) but the switches feel amazing, with no binding, and only barely-noticeable scratching/friction on off-center pushes. After looking a the contacts, it looks like they are almost new! The internals of the switches are mind-boggling clean compared to the the rest of the board, and the shell has very little yellowing than a lot of others I've seen, and the stickers look brand new, so needless to say, I am super impressed with the quality of the board for what I paid, especially after a little disassembly and TLC.
I need more of these boards, after this one, I am hooked! I will be searching for all others I can find, tactile, clicky, linear. I'd love to eventually have a collection of basically all the various ones they produced. Pictures aren't the best, the board is dirty and nothing too special to look at, but I'm impressed and tickled pink by it. The split space bar that can be programmed to swap the backspace/space locations, or turned completely into a space is nice too, and I've already gotten 90% used to the left handed backspace because of how small the top right 1u backspace key is... but that BAE still throws me off haha.
To wrap this up, I love this board! One of my favorite switches so far in my short time in this hobby, and can not wait to get more! Thanks for taking a look, and I will update this with the pictures of it cleaned up. Included is a gross pictures of the underside of the left backspace, hidden in spoiler tags for your safety.
