Swede got his sent but not me? How does that work out? :P
Hopefully mine will be sent in the next batch (tomorrow?) then.
Peoples impressions here make me even more giddy to get my hands on my board though. :<

Since you only paid for the "Paeckchen" shipping option, there is no tracking number for your order. The shipment is insured (you actually did not even want to pay for that until I convinced you otherwise :roll: ), but not trackable without investigation, which can be issued after two weeks of no delivery.

So for now, I can't do much besides tell you do be patient for a little longer.

Nice to see mine shipped, just hope it gets here ;)

Btw, Runeazn, you have waited for a few months now, why does a few days matter?
I "need" it because i'm moving on saturday, my parents can still pick it up after that so I'm in no rush, 1 or 2 more weeks won't matter to me.

No news until you mentioned my name. A bit strange as I leave right in Paris and as DHL is supposed to be a bit faster than regular mail service. Any status or tracking number as I've chosen this option? thanks you very much for your help Sixty. :)

Hi fols ;)
@sixty: any chance you could send me the tracking number? Couriers tend to do whatever they want here, and with tracking number I can check where is the package sitting so I can call and make them move.

Yeah, awesome service we have here :(

Mine arrived on on saturday. No problems thus far. There are scratches on some keys but I can live with it.

I really like the reds but I'm thinking of replacing them with ergo clear light switches because reds are boring to write on. Maybe get another Poker, one for gaming and one for typing... Or put the reds on another board. I'm too lazy with (de-)soldering though.

The PBT caps are good as well though I don't like that the filling is not level with the key surface (was the same with the Leopold caps... why can they not make them level?). Does anyone know of thick blank PBT caps? Currently using Cherry Corp. DS caps.

Considering the 'manual': Is mine the only one where the FN Table for 9-Z is printed twice? Not that it matters.

Thanks sixty for your effort with this group buy!

Will be sending out tracking numbers to those that requested them from the office. Normally folks were supposed to receive an e-mail from DHL directly once stuff has been. But it does not look like anyone actually did.

As promised, manual searching through thousands of documents!

wohoo got it!!
btw sixty did i ever bought something from you before???''


epic small keyboard!
Feels very light too hehe.

btw what to do if a key does not have a click?
I hear a soft zipper sound when doing it quick but if not i dont have a click at all.
with quick i mean letting it fall back to normal and than hit it, no sound sounds like my mx brown :P

BTW many keys vary in click hardness, as in some sound a little softer, I dont know if i need to be happy with it or not?

The uneven sounds of clicking seems to be a factor on all modern blue MX boards. After a while they break in and kinda normalize. If you do find any non clicking switches you can open them yourself. Guides for that are around here or on geekhack. If you find you cannot repair the switch, I can send a replacement. I received a few repair kits from Vortex, so I can replace dull switches.

oh okay.
What about if i totally fuck up the switch in the process >_>?

Due to popular(?) demand, alternative PBT keycaps are available now:

sixty: no packages sent for 2 days? I've been trembling with excitement for a few weeks now.

One wave went out yesterday. I think yours and most other nordic folks were with it. Currently could not update the list since I have no access to the physical parcels (they are at the office)

Don't want to sound annoying (i know sixty you did a lot of work, and you're still on it) but would you know if my package was sent (i'm in france)? Thank you.

Just received it and what I can say until now is that the first impressions are really better than for the Noppoo Choc Mini.
It seems than the flaws that were highlighted in the first reviews have been corrected.
Space bar, modifier keys and enter key are better than Noppoo one (I mean less noisy so better for gaming as well).
Typing is a bit different as this Poker is in Red and Noppoo in brown but I like these big white on black keys. Are these PBT or ABS? Tbh it doesn't really matter.
I'll let you know if there are some issues.

Thank you very much Sixty for making this possible :)

Dear Sixty,

Just wondering what is going on with my order =3. I have a feeling it will be shipping last (Australia)?

Cheers,

I will send you a PM regarding your order when I get informed with what it costs. Chances are it might cost a bit more than you originally paid, since back then your address was still in the UK. Luckily I noticed this before the complete disaster of shipping it to the old address. It was actually part of the reason why everyone had to re-submit their address :oops:

First of all, thank you for taking care of this massive mass order! I am quite eager to play with this keyboard.

Sorry for my ignorance but I still do not get why the parcels are processed in batches of only 5-10ish keyboards a day? I understand that shipping all the boards at the same time would have been quite problematic, but handling 20-30 packets should definitely not be a problem for them!

Also, you said the boards are sent by DHL in order of shipping costs. So if you paid for the supposedly faster “Paket” shipping option, it means you will actually get your packet latter than with the “Päckchen” option?

Obviously, after over four months of waiting, a few days more will not make any difference. It is still quite surprising…
