Oh really? How did they stiff you, I have bought about 50+ items from there and have not had a issue from Checkout to Delivery.
It was something so simple. I ordered some fans and they sent me the wrong ones. They point blank refused either a refund or replacement and gave me no option to return them. This was my first and last order. I told that person this treatment will cost them way more than 2 replacement fans.
If they sent you the wrong ones and are refusing to place it. Its illegal, contact the ACCC to get the replacement started. https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/complaints-problems/make-a…
@AircraftFreight: It's not worth the hassle. I'll just spend the rest of my life panning them when the opportunity arises. I know for certain that I've lost them sales already.
Me as well, still salty about it.
100 dollars more wouldn't the K100rgb be better? Only launched in November and has receive Universal's praise
People like me have this because of a white build. I paid just under $200 about a year ago. It's a bonus that it's one of the best keyboards around. Don't know too many people that want to spend $350 on a keyboard. Most extra features people will hardly use too.
I Own this keyboard, it's amazing.
Bought psu,cpu,case and mobo from them few months ago. Came with 3 different parcels. It took 10 days for them to ship for parcels and a week for delivery.
One of them got lost in Australia post. Neither au post or scorptec gave me any assistance or update and i contacted them many times and waited 45-50 days until my parcel considered as lost.
2 days after i order parts from another supplier my lost parcel arrived and needed to return other purchases since i didn't want to deal with those guys ever again.
There are some companies which you think they re doing ok till you need to deal with customer service.
There are many of them but scorptec is just next level.For the keyboard itself : very good one but it's really better if you get a hotswap keyboard and some switches by personal preference.
It's a great keyboard for gamers.
But for those who want to use it for an everyday keyboard, don't buy the speed switches..
Too many typos.
I have this keyboard and it's awesome for gaming but I switch to a $10 DELL keyboard when I need to type. These speed switches totally kill my typing accuracy; I swear even looking at a key for too long registers as a strike.
can someone explain mechanical keyboards? As someone who doesn't have any complaints with normal keyboards, why do I want this? Does it feel/sound better? In what way? Does it feel springier? Mushier?
i saw that earlier. It didn't answer my question.
He just talks about how you can customize the keyboard if you want fewer keys or different colours. I don't want fewer keys or weird colours.
He didn't talk about what makes the keys different.
Sorry, I will try explaining it myself.
I think the main thing with mechanical keyboards is that they give better feedback to the user than a normal rubberdome or membrane keyboard. There are three category of switches. Clicky switches, which are usually the colour blue, have an click and a bump when pressing a key, which gives you distinct feedback to let you know if you have pressed down a key. If the loud click of a blue switch is too much, there are also tactile switches, which are usually the colour brown, which have the same bump when pressing down a key, without the audible sound. There are also linear switches, which are red, and have no click or bump, making it the preferred switch for gamers since you can easily repeat a key press.
There is a huge variety of switches in those three categories that need more or less force to register a keystroke for example, which some people may prefer. For example, the keyboard listed in this deal have Cherry MX Speed switches, which are a linear switches that require less force to register a key press than a typical red switch, which some gamers may prefer more. I think what makes this enticing to someone into the mechanical keyboard scene is finding the perfect keyswitch that suits their needs.
Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll try to answer as best as I can.
@lostn: A decent mechanical keyboard costs around 120 ish dollars and they will last you aeons.
Something like Leopold in my opinion is really nice without the RGBs and such, and they come with lovely PBT keycaps.
Ducky I have heard good things about before.Something like Cherry MX switches and similar designs will last around 50 million clicks, at least according to them.
If a key dies, which is unlikely going to be in awhile, you can get a new switch and change them around as well if you know how to solder and desolder things.All that said, a good keyboard is a good keyboard and you can have a bad mechanical keyboard imo.
I am talking more about rattly stabilisers, noise being amplified from chassis, keycaps that feel cheap etc etc.@iridiumstem: what happens with plastic things is they get worn and the plastic smoothes out and becomes shiny. The keys you tap the most such as space bar and vowels will look smoothest. This will happen to your mouse too.
When this happens to a $20 keyboard, you think oh well. When it happens to an expensive mechanical keyboard, ouch.
I guess I need to try one if I'm to see what the fuss is about, but I don't know what places have them on display.
@lostn: ABS keycaps tend to shine much faster than PBT ones. PBT ones would take a long time until they shine.
Another good thing about mechanical keyboard is that, as long as you get ones that do not have weird length keys, it's easy to get replacement keycap sets.The brands I mentioned use PBT keycaps. The legends shouldn't rub out like cheap ABS keycaps do since PBTs tend to be dye-sublimated.
Something something PBTs are better with heat so they can use that method of printing which is better than laser etching or pad printing.Quality ABS keycaps are double shot, meaning that they are made with different coloured plastics, so their legends don't rub off, but they still shine.
ABS keycaps tend to shine much faster than PBT ones. PBT ones would take a long time until they shine.
Do you mean the plastic keys themselves? That does pique my interest a little.
You mention "legends". Do you mean the print of the letters?
something else i've noticed about them is the keys stick out more. Do they have deeper travel?
@lostn: Yeah, basically, there are two kinds of plastics that are normally used for keycaps, ABS and PBT.
There is a third one called POM, but you'd not come across one unless you actively look out for one, whereas those two are readily available.
Anyways, ABS shine easier than PBT.If by any chance they need to be replaced, they are easily replaceable. Just pull with a keycap puller and replace. The price of the keycap sets will vary significantly, but it is easily doable.
Yep, by legends I meant, letters and whatnots. There are different methods and their lifespan and how they feel depends on what methods were used.
Mechanical keyboards I think would have longer travels? I have no idea on this one.
That said Cherry MX style switches normally register at around 2mm and bottom out (pressed completely) at 4mm.MX Speed Silver is slightly different, it registers at 1.2mm, and bottoms out at 3.4mm; this one was targeted more for gaming keyboards.
You can easily find these information online, people measure how much force is required for key presses and everything.
My neg is not a reflection on the OP, it's just that Scorptec stiffed me. I'll never deal with them again.
