and once again, no ISO keyboard.
The code keyboard have ISO layout! why you only offer the ANSI one?

Most Asia uses ANSI. Layouts with _l Enter are from bygone days.
Only exception readily coming to mind is Japanese.
Sympathize with ISO situation though...

So I received mine with MX Clears. I have to say this must be the ABSOLUTE WORST and cheapest quality mechanical keyboard I've seen (I own only 3 but used or tested quite a lot more). Any time you touch it (or move the desk), not to mention actually typing, some springy voices come out of it, it's UNBEARABLE! I couldn't find any other keyboard with the Clears so had to get this for this egregious price and I have to say they switches are indeed cool, but they're sitting in such a piece of junk it must really hurt them. A solution would be to solder them all out and into a Filco, but I'd probably break something (I changed 4 switches in my life and my soldering wasn't pretty). I've paid for garbage before, but never $200 (incl. shipping and customs), wow. This goes into the same bin a $3 (incl. shipping, no customs fees either) mouse from Aliexpress that took 2 weeks and not 2 months to ship. At least those guys make it absolutely clear they're selling cheap Chinese junk, and the price reflects that.

Hi, my keyboard has the 'ping' noise quite noticeable, can I ask what switch you have for yours? It is also the clear switch as well?

ApeWorldYes, I have the MX Clears but I have PBT keycaps on them. I only noticed pinging noises when used with ABS keycaps. Maybe that is the problem. Typing this from my iKBC Fullsized CNC Aluminum RGB Cherry MX Brown keyboard. Great keyboard, probably won't be buying a new keyboard anytime soon.

Why does this keyboard keep dropping ? As many keep pointing out--it has way too many cons to justify the price. If you're going to get a minimal mechanical keyboard you should just get a Ducky, Filco or a Deck.

I have a Code Green that was my first purchase on MD, and really loved it for quite a while before starting to find that the keys were too heavy. I've been contemplating the purchase of the Code Clear for a while now...pros? cons?
Would I want to put O-rings on it, or is the bottom-out weight sufficiently heavy? What's the deal with the pinging someone mentioned below? I love everything but the weight of the green switches on my current board, and haven't experienced any shine on the caps or anything like that.

nnc-tlbHere are the DIP combinations: DIP 123: 110 = RtAlt, 010 = RtWin, 100 = RtCtrl, 111 = off, 000 = Menu; 001 = LtAlt, 101 = LtWin, 011 = LtCtrl
I am currently using 110. You could leave the key caps as they are with all three DIP switches on 1 with the Fn cap serving as the Menu key...and temporarily flip switches 1, 2, or 3 to assign Fn to LtCtrl, LtWin, or RtAlt to change the lighting (or other function) settings. This doesn't require unplugging the keyboard or anything, the changes happen immediately.

From their site: " On the CODE keyboard, up to six keys can be pressed at once, which is known as 6-Key USB Rollover. Furthermore, Ctrl, Alt, and Shift do not count towards these six keys, making it possible to to hold up to nine keys simultaneously – sufficient for even the most arcane keyboard shortcuts. And if you really need it, N-Key Rollover is available over PS/2 with the included adapter. "

Just wondering what is so special about this keyboard?
not using aluminium chasis, no rgb lighting, no special anything...

WASppNothing like that. It uses unusual switches (green, clear) and it's got high build-quality and a nice keycaps. It feels good to type on, likely nicer than a $60 board with Kailhs or Gatreons would feel. (Even though both of those keyboards would probably work just fine.) That's what it has going for it.

WASppI have one with clears. I think it's just a damn well made keyboard. It has an understated elegance, no rgb (looks tacky IMO) and no branding on the keyboard. Just a very well built keyboard without the kiddie stuff. It's got a plastic case, though it is a very sturdy keyboard. If it had aluminum chassis, it would cost a lot more, and honestly not give much benefit. It really is sturdy, the keyboard will last decades, if not a lifetime. It has a standard layout, so you can easily add custom keycaps or keycap sets too.

There's no good reason to trust massdrop with your money, unless you want to get scammed but also want to wait for a few months before you realize that you got scammed.
Just look at what happened to the Ducky Pocket drop from April! https://www.massdrop.com/buy/ducky-pocket-rgb-mechanical-numpad/talk

seidenfischI've had a ton of great experiences with Massdrop, and not a single scam so far. I can think of a ton of great reasons to trust MD with my money, and the page you posted is only 2 weeks past it's ship date, that's nothing.
Have you ever used Kickstarter? You would shit yourself if you think MD has any problems.

seidenfischYeah I've bought a bunch from Massdrop and I've had zero issues.
Slandering a company just do so doesn't do any good.

Beware of those keycaps!
While the keyboard itself is of very good build quality I find it very disappointing that the keycaps are of such bad quality.
For the price of this board better keycaps should be installed. SRSLY!

Sorry, I totally spaced out on this and forgot to update with those pictures. Anyway, here's the images of my (older) Vortex doubleshot set on the Code. In the newer revisions available sometimes here and over on mechanicalkeyboards.com they revised the legend positions so that both of the legends on the keys (on the number row for example) light up properly. Personally I prefer the look of the old caps myself, but you'd probably have to track down a set on eBay these days. Hope this helps!

I got mine 11 months ago from Massdrop. It was my second mech keyboard, mostly used for writing and coding.
Comparing the previous Logitech and MS keyboards I had used, the typing is definitely a lot more satisfying, in the way that I can be very sure of what I had typed in my code.
Though it does not have a fancy chassis, it's hard plastic that feels like a perfect companion to ThinkPads, which are built like a tank. The layout is very standard and optimal for typing. The backlight is bright and adequate for working a dark room, and not showy. The tiny dot on the "5" key on the number pad is a nice touch. The volume control keys are handy as well.
Most importantly - and I think that's something most keycap manufacturers don't pay attention to - is the font. These keycaps have the best font, hands down!!! The Helvetica font is legible, clean, not over imposing and mature, and I cannot find them anywhere else.
...which is also one of its biggest problems, as WASD keyboard don't sell exact replacement keycaps for them. As you may notice, that within 11 months the keycaps had worn out from normal use. I wash my hands often, don't eat while I'm typing, and don't sweat much, and yet, commonly used letters such as E/R/T/H/N/I had worn out already. I replaced the WASD keys and the space bar with an aluminum one to increase stability and reduce worn-down as well.
Maybe someone from WASD can help me find replacement keycaps without buying a new one?

MadelenaI agree these are amazingly good keyboards, I have two. I too wore out the keycaps (excessive shine) and I would really like exact replacements but they just aren't around. I tried a set or two that were cheap and backlit but the fonts are just too ugly and the backlighting too uneven.
Finally I gave up on backlighting and bought the Industrial SA-profile set from Signature Plastics. Not cheap but worth it for the best keyboard around.
