So I ordered this end of November expecting a drop date of around January. As I mentioned before, I got an email saying there was a delay - I thought later in the month but surprise! it was actually a couple months down: March.
I thought I'd check again since it's almost end February as I type this. I'm still interested in it and I thought I might just get it "again" since I've done my homework and watched reviews, I've purchased switches and lube and films etc. I'm ready!
"Estimated ship date is June 7, 2022 PT."
BRUH
dang dude, that's really unfortunate. if it's any consolation (misery loves company? lol) my IK75 never came from aliexpress lol. got dropped off in hebron, kentucky and I live at the other side of the country, so... yeah.
what's your plan? return it? get a refund? or are you gonna break it open and take a look?
KyrosI'm too tired to disassemble right now but I'll do it tomorrow. I sent a customer support ticket to see what they can do though so hopefully in the end I get a product that works ~
choochootranI got a refund. the nice thing is that there's still a month left so if you change your mind again, you can still re-buy it lol. I ended up getting a cheaper keyboard and some switches and keycaps while waiting.
It never was all that special, it was just the price it came at while copying the Satisfaction 75. “Copying” in mechanical keyboards isn’t anything new, most releases aren’t anything original, maybe just some cooler engravings or other small things, and the ones that are original are just “copied” at some point. Regardless, there’s always some difference between things that “copied” whatever other thing.
Cathogalike, classifying any exploded hotswap 75% isn't really a GMMK pro ripoff because there are many hotswap 75% but the knob is kinda one but it's not really a direct ripoff considering that it is plastic and not gasket mounted.
wcg66Agreed. Going that route will make life easier and they won't have to sit around trying to figure out what switches or keycaps they want and where to buy them from. Even if they end up not liking the switches, they at least have the experience of using those switches to choose their next ones.
So, anyone looking at this. You can get it fully built with caps and switches for $90 on Amazon under the Epomaker brand as the Theory TH80. Shipping time is still... not great though
I'm curious about the delay of Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz dongle.
Everyone on their reviews say that 2.4 GHz is smooth, but Bluetooth has occasional double tapping/stuck key and disconnects (what can I say, typical Bluetooth).
is this your first build? If so, might as well do HS than soldered.
Varmilo boards fantastic. Leopolds are of high quality too.
I am a fan of 1800 layouts, but hard to find.
NJ80 looks nice so enjoy it when it arrives. make sure you take pictures next year.
jalfonsoNot my first.
I'm currently using Varmilo VB87, which I finally modded a month ago. No hate for Gateron clears, but they are horrible both stock and lubed. I put lubed and filmed Gateron SMD yellows (old version), two layers of sponge Neoprene between PCB and stainless steel plate, bottom case, one layer of Neoprene on top case, and fully modded genuine Cherry stabilizers, which surprisingly were already inside the keyboard when I purchased it. One thing that I regret doing is that when I Holee moded stabs, they sounded very mushy, so I cut the pad that is supposed to be in the middle, and left only on 50 degrees angle side. Now, left side of the spacebar and left shift kinda rattle, but not on the same scale as unmoded stabs. More lube on both sides of hole didn't help.
Honestly, if it wasn't for unstable Bluetooth connection (sometimes, I experience double click/stuck key press), I wouldn't have looked for other keyboards.
Has anyone had issues with their keyboard?
I assembled mine and multiple keys do not register and one even types out multiple different letters with one press. Wondering if anyone else ran into the same issue.
AlpacaAshwell mine after 6 months its just stop working, and when i try to contact customer support they didn't do anything for. and ask me to fix it on my own.
