Massdrop x XMIT Hall Effect Mechanical Keyboard

Nov 16, 2017

ATTENSION NEW BUYERS: I love the feeling of these nostalgic key switches...I joined the previous drop and... just like many others who'd joined the previous drop, I had the same quality issues with this keyboard. On my first day, two of the switches were "sticky" - that is, when being pressed down, they didn't "bounce back".
Since I've got over 30 keyboards and I'm a super busy person, I put the defect keyboard on the shelf after noticing the quality issue - I consider it a collectable over a functional one. Recently, when I missed the feeling of "Hall Effect", I took this keyboard out of my shelf and started typing. This time, almost 1/3 of the keys are sticky. They dont come back when bottomed out. Nice. This could be the worst product I've ever owned in my entire life...thinking about having been waiting it for couple of months...
Anyway, I hope all the potential customers get the perfect (or better) units from this round.

roshinichiHad the same results, so, this is not in fact a one bad board sort of thing. And it got worse when I tried to use it for any period of time, more and more keys getting stuck. So, it's a pretty paperweight, at least for me. At least I have a lot of boards which don't suck to type on.

akerasiDon't worry, I have numerous 'Paper-Weight' Keyboards in my possession.
Fact - if you like collecting keyboards anyone/everyone, will acquire keyboards that fail, part of living in the 21st Century ; )

roshinichiHmm. Sounds like some of your switch sliders are binding due to the way they were retained in Round 1 boards. Feel free to reach out to Massdrop support for resolution. As for Round 2, we've completely redesigned the way that sliders are retained. We have pretty regular chats with manufacturing (who read these posts, by the way) and they are pretty confident that this will be resolved this time.
Cherry MY is still worse. :/

XMITHow do we contact Massdrop support? I've tried all the contact options I can find on this site and have not gotten a response after 4 days. I'd like retrofit (tactile) switches for my R1 but can't buy them until someone sells them to me :)
