Hello, XMIT. I just found your review of this keyboard some months ago and I'm curious about few things. (Well I already in for this drop yet I want to make myself be aware of cautious points) 1. Is this version still Waterproof? 2. Seems this springs are directly touching the PCB. wouldn't it wear out the waterproof coating if 1. is true? 3. It looks the slider and top housing is just fit into upper plate. how tight is it and would it became loosen over time?
Oh, Thank you for this fantastic keyboard.

CaiJLeHello!
1. The board is water resistant. The PCB is completely waterproof. The bamboo, like any wood, may not behave well if soaked for a long period of time. The mini USB port is not sealed and so bad things might happen if you dunk it under water. (The really water-proof versions of the board have a soldered and glued in cable.) So, spill proof, certainly!
2. Yes, the springs directly touch the PCB, but they don't move at all. Even at the top of the stroke they are slightly under compression.
3. The top housing also clips into the PCB which will prevent it from loosening too much. Bamboo is pretty good at holding dimensions over time but, like any wood, many drastic humidity changes will harm it. So if you soak it for a few days, leave it out in the sun for a few days, and repeat many times, I can't promise you won't see warping!
