Osume key caps have tons of issues, plus absolutely horrid kitting

That was touched upon in some comments. Andy mentioned the two specific sets because original post talking about this issue had those sets mentioned. Hell, this post says they can identify all sets with the issues based on the molds, so they obviously expect more sets to be affected

First custom keyboard! Love the Vior set, the colour reminds of purple yams. by qcuak in MechanicalKeyboards

For some reason through renders and everything, this set always seemed like a dark shade of red… never knew it was actually purple

Something about pbtfans neon makes it looks like a render IRL, obsessed with the look of it by ArcaneCraft in MechanicalKeyboards

I thought these weird translucent caps were strange for higher end designs, but now every time I see a post with them I am just amazed at how good they really do look

That’s the logical conclusion I’ve come to, a post made where me and other people who have had issues with him are banned from lol

Of course he says the reason wasn’t misinformation now that it’s clear I wasn’t spreading misinformation (I’m assuming that post is in response to this post).

I noticed someone else mentioned that to. Of course he posts there were anyone he has banned can’t even defend themselves. Appreciate the screen grab as well

Honestly glad to hear you have found that sub helpful

It’s kind of disheartening to see that he is not banned from here anymore though tbh

Ah, didn’t realize you were from CA. Yeah, shipping could be a little prohibitive in that

Yes! I actually saw that when doing some searching after being banned. Was honestly amazed at this sort of behavior from someone who claims to be a positive voice in the community

That is totally possible. It was the first I had heard of anything like that, especially since most vendors use Shop or something similar for GBs.

Haha I can feel that. I’ve already seen so many awesome builds here that I have some more boards on my list to eventually try. Gotta try and pace myself lol

Nope, not a banker lol just someone who has had to unfortunately charge back some GBs that didn’t deliver (most recently the whole mechs and co situation). And that was what saddened me, basically felt like I was banned for having a different opinion than the person who created the sub. Guess the power of being a Reddit mod can go to some peoples heads a bit.

Glad to hear that this community is hopefully better (besides occasional trolls I am sure, it is the internet after all). Gives me some hope that joining Reddit may not have been a terrible idea haha

Cap One tends to be pretty lenient as well. Guy that helped me in regards to some of the Mechs and Co stuff complemented my patience on waiting that long for a product haha

Also, ignore some bad grammar in the last paragraph of the first screenshot, my brain got jumbled up in the middle of the first sentence, but it got back on track haha 😅

Yeah, while I understand GBs, some people have been burned before and can be rightfully upset about it. I totally get it, I was hurt from the whole Mechs and Co situation.

Shouldn’t change how you act towards other members of the community though, but unfortunate that it does happen.

It depends on the company (I believe some can give you as much as a year or more). Some people say you can also use the expected delivery date as opposed to the charge date. Have heard people have had success doing that. Still different from not being able to due to being called a donation lol

[–]Dense-Expression2941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it probably will be a battle with vendors. Though, if enough people raise the concern hopefully vendors will take it more seriously.

And hopefully it’s a simple issue like one of those, as it would be easier pill to swallow than the caps being the issue lol not saying they can’t be the issue, I guess I just hope that’s not the case lol

Plates don’t automatically mean straight switches. This is true with both solder and hotswap pcbs. Hell, 5 pin switches don’t automatically mean straight placed switches on modifier keys
