Well, now I have doubts. I originally wanted to go for the Z70 drop that's going on right now, but this drop is very enticing: Faster shipping, similar price (MX clears) and a full layout.
Can anyone give their opinions on the matter? Should I go for this or the Z70?

CreepyPieThat mainly depends on the form factor you prefer. This is a fullsize keyboard., the Z70 is somewhere between a 60% and an 80%/TKL.

TueraiUntil now I've only had experience with full size keyboards. The Z70's layout really intrigues me, as I've never experienced anything similar to it.

CreepyPieI had the same idea. I have been looking for the solid aluminum case and a kit which you can do with the Z70 but I have a new key set coming soon and I wanted a full size aluminum case which this handles. The Z70 has the option for the switch I want but it doesn't solve my incoming key set issue. Two issues with this drop
1. The description of available keys do not match the option when you try to get in on the drop. 2. Someone from the last drop said it had a steel plate rather than the advertised aluminum plate.
So I'm awaiting a response to those questions

DamnationAh well thank you. I get a bad feeling on this drop. It is a Massdrop exclusive yet the persistent inaccuracy of the description/Join options and lack of responsiveness is troubling. I'd love a full size Aluminum cased board but it really isn't.

ertoIt's not a bad keyboard too, but I have the feeling you got to make your own keyboard (rs/fox) to get a full aluminum keyboard. Anyway I love mine, it's been a year and I didn't have any trouble and it got killer looks : http://imgur.com/j3oO5vw

ertoFor the record, I absolutely love the DSX, and am buying a second one because it's already my daily driver at home and I want one for work.

TueraiPlaced my order. I can't find a full size aluminum for this price so I crossed my fingers and gave my CC#. I choose the blue since I like the bump click.
