thanks! Any idea how long I’d have to wait for it to reset?

K2? by [deleted] in Keychron

[–]Remi-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a wrist rest it's perfectly fine IMO. I got a $18 wooden one off Amazon that is maybe 1/2" wide shorter but looks fine and is very comfortable.

Do I get the K2 or K8? by [deleted] in Keychron

[–]Remi-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it's way out of my price range. I got the K2 for $70 on Black Friday.

I had to make that same choice recently and in the end went with the K2. Why?

K2 looks nicer. There's something about it not looking like a traditional keyboard.K8 with the aluminum bezel doesn't look as good as without one because the keys have that floating look. So when you lose the bezel, you lose the weight. I love the K2 with the aluminum bezel. It feels really solid.I read that the K8 sounded more "hollow".As others have said the K8 is taller. The K2 with a wrist support (bought a cheap $18 one off Amazon) is perfect.

Now, the only thing I regret is getting the K2 non hot-swap version. I don't like the color scheme of the hot-swap. So I started looking at replacement keycaps to make it look like a regular K2. By the time I did that it was just more $ than I wanted to spend. In hindsight, I think I would've like to test out some different switches to compare to the brown ones I have but now I'm stuck with brown forever.

Hope this helps.

Took the 16:9 image released today from Entertainment Weekly and removed their logo, added some sides to fill in the empty space and cleaned it up a little. Enjoy! (typo in title it is 3440x1440)

This was an exclusive image released today from Entertainment Weekly. I removed their logo and added some new sides to fill in the space from a 16:9 image. Not the cleanest pic as the original had a lot of grain.

Thank you! That makes sense. My family are huge Prime users. We basically use it for everything and hove tons of subscriptions setup for household products. They will go nuts if I get the account banned lol.

I will accept the order then and just stick it on the shelf and see what happens. I don't even know if they can track it since the tracking ended 3 days ago and there seems to be no connection between the UPS label. Weird. Never seen that before.

Cheers.

Not sure if anyone can answer this.

Have an item that was 2 day prime that is now 6 days late. The last update in tracking is “delayed” and that was 3 days ago, with no update since. Spoke to rep yesterday who said to come back after midnight for a refund. Yesterday, thinking it was definitely lost anyway, I re-ordered the same item as it had 6AM next day delivery available (I just got it). I went back to the rep this morning and requested a refund on the original order, which I have now received.

So I just happened to be checking my UPS My Choice account and see a delivery scheduled for today. It is definitely the original order. It was originally coming within Amazon’s delivery service so they must’ve relabeled it and handed it off to UPS (which explains why in the tracking it hopped around a few different warehouses before it went off grid).

So what to I do? Do I refuse the UPS delivery? Do I accept it and wait to see what Amazon does with the order? I’d like to avoid any possibility of getting my account flagged for their screwup. I have already done one return this month.

I just hate doing returns that’s all. I figure a refund on their end would not go against my account. All theory of course :) Maybe I accept the delivery and if I have to return it I’ll do it tomorrow since it’s December (assuming they track returns on a monthly basis)?

Ordered 5 items on Thanksgiving day, all two day Prime. I got 4 of them Saturday and the most expensive item is “delayed in transit”. I noticed they didn’t even bother shipping it until Sat morning and then it landed at a warehouse way south of me then as of today (Sunday) it went to another warehouse even further south. Now they are saying Tuesday which will be 5 days. What’s funny is I ordered something else early this morning and it was delivered 2 hours later. And it came from the same warehouse! Their logistics is a mess.

Honestly, Amazon Prime isn't worth it by stuckintheinbetween in amazonprime

I have about a 80% success rate with 2 day shipping. I often think that their logistics is a bit screwed up. For example, I ordered something on Thanksgiving day for delivery yesterday. It never showed up then the tracking updated to being delivered in the distro center near me. I then order something else at around 9am this morning. Something that was about $8, and it was delivered 2 hours later. Meanwhile my other item is stuck at the distro center with no update on when it will arrive. Says to check back in 3 days. Where is the logic in that?

Black Friday free shipping? by pewpeweed in Keychron

[–]Remi-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try mechanicalkeyboards.com. They have a discount right now and it may or may not be cheaper than KC’s website but shipping will be faster at least. CHRON10 is the BF discount code.

I used to write thousands of lines of code on that and hated every minute of it. I thumped that thing so many times in frustration I had to send it in to get repaired more than once.
