BrainFlushNice little collection of artisan caps you have there!
I've actually just begun my journey to collect them as my first was the "Deal with it Jack" Binge cap on my Realforce Numpad, #2 is going to be my Vader cap but due to weather it might not arrive until Monday, it was scheduled for Saturday but Storm Jonas isn't giving the East coast a break.

m4rkbr0wnThat Vader cap is sick and his War of the Betrayer caps are also great. Keep checking GH Artisian section and Reddit MK for raffles and sales.
Did you grease the stabilizers and clips on your board yet? Do it man. It's worth the little bit of effort.
So glad this board finally came in. I think I'll finally install the software. You said it's in English now. So that makes it easy.

BrainFlushIt's not really an install per se it is just included on the mini cd and as someone stated on here it seems like a newer version that what is posted on the RK website, I actually tried the install on the website first but that doesn't even work.
So i had to dig all over just to find my external dvd drive lol... this digital age!

+ I don't know to much about these boards to even know where to begin about the greasing and stuff yet.

m4rkbr0wnGo to any automotive parts store and buy a tube of Permatex Dielectric Grease #81150 .33oz
Remove the SHIFT, ENTER, BACKSPACE and CAPS keys slowly and with a steady hand pull them directly up until they can't, but not forcibly. There are 2 plastic hook mounts under each cap in the female stem underneath that are attached to a hard metal wire. This is the stabilizer bar. Push the cap to the right side until the left hook comes out from the metal wire. Once all caps are removed you can grease.
Take a toothpick and small plate, put a drop of grease down. Dip the pick and get a very small amount on the end. Apply the grease to the joint areas that are attached to the bar on the actual keyboard and rotate the wire forward and back until it is properly greased. Do not use too much, just smoother it a bit. Apply grease to the plastic hook stems under the cap in the gap that the bar slides through.Reattach the caps by hooking one side first and then the other side, be careful and take your time. Once you learn how, it becomes natural. WIth this grease you may need to only reapply it once a year but I don't know.
Google it if you're unsure about anything.

BrainFlushAhh I see well I'm pretty sure the board comes pre-greased as well because when I swapped out my Shift keys they already had grease on them.
But I definitely see what you mean now.

m4rkbr0wnIt is greased on the stem plastic hooks but not the actual clips holding the bar on the keyboard. That is the part that really needs the grease. It's a huge difference in feel and sound. Plus the grease I recommended will last a long long time and is always handy to have around. Also putting the grease on the hooks is still a good idea. RK isn't doing it as well as us.
