Thanks to the delay, I was able to cancel my order. It was an impulsive buy, and I already joined the Space65 and Rukia groupbuy. The lavender shade of purple was also a determining factor.
I really need to stop buying pre-built on impulse.
HangTotally agree, and for me as well. Last one I bought here was the Pulse High Profile in turquoise. That one was really worth it though as the renders came out looking the same if not better in real life, plus it’s a TKL with a lot of heft, but I had to put a lot of work to make it sound good for a prebuilt. Not sure I want to put a lot of work again for this board given the price is getting closer to a higher end custom as well.
Wow you got a Space65. I’m waiting for my S7 Elephant as I wanted something different from the usual 65% layout.
What makes it harder for me to get this is that Rama is coming out with a clear purple keyboard that looks like the purple from a vintage Nintendo Gameboy or even the clear purple controller. Supposedly this line will be “cheap”.
rowieI got that turquoise CTRL HP when it dropped too, I absolute love it from renders to in hand. It’s perfect. You’re exactly right though in order to make it how I wanted it, I had to put a whole lot of work into it. I just ordered new plate mount stabs for this board but man after seeing all these pictures of how different it is from the renders I’m having a second guess about it.
rowieYeah, I saw that Rama. Kara or something like that. Looks great, but I'm waiting for the details before jumping on the hype train.
As for this Lavender ALT. I bought it for my SA Arcane keycaps, but after seeing that lavender shade of purple, it wouldn't had match the keycaps like I expected. It's still a nice color but just not what I was looking for.
