Well we had some problems making the plates, but they should be done this week.

Has anyone tried the Max Translucent Keycaps?
Or can recommend any keycaps that are fully transparent?

Any pictures, yes and no's of such setup?

Figured it's about time I join the club.

I've had this guy since July of 2015, it's a WASD v2 barebones with doubleshot PBT blanks on top of MX Cherry Blues.

10 keyless, just the right size for me.

I've also got a WASD Code with MX Cherry Clears, a Logitech G910 Orion Spark with Roamer G's, and a Corsair K65 old school with MX Cherry Reds, but it's in UK layout and I like US/ISO layout.

???????????????????

Doubleshot is a method of printing the legends on keycaps, so there isn't really any point in having blanks doubleshot. Also doubleshot molding doesn't work very well with PBT, so I don't think such a thing as doubleshot PBT blanks exists.

Otherwise it's a really nice kb tho.

Ah, I guess they were doubleshot if I had text printed on them but I didn't elect to have any text on them, so they're just PBT blanks :P

Thanks XP

No no no, you have the order all wrong... they were stoned which is why they bought razer products.

Really though there isn't anything really wrong with them other then price to quality ratio from what I have seen but a good deal is still a good deal.

Which is why they make great ebay items if you can get 'in' on their Insider deals. 50% off CES sale... omg their BW Chroma would be $85 free shipping, and I monitor ebay, and they go for about $120 + shipping. Pretty awsome margin there.

If I came across a razer mechanical keyboard cheap enough I would consider buying it just to take its switches lol

Oh that may have been more clear if you quoted someone. I don't think I would say that is really that uncommon though for other brands either. I have seen several people end up with the same exact problems I have had with same model logitech mice

Razer keyboards have been notorious for developing double click issues, but this went back to when they were using Cherry MX switches too! And some ppl said they fixed their problems with fixing Synapse... And more recently I'd heard they put out firmware to fix the double click. So to me this says the hardware wasn't at issue... their debouncing algorithm was too tight and they were possibly debouncing in their driver/software rather than in hardware on older models.

That they've pushed out new firmware specifically for the double click issue (BWChroma) is reassuring, tho some ppl bricked their keyboard doing the update lol. But man if you had one of their keyboards since the beginning... no wonder there's a lot of hate.

I have one of their Megalodon headphones from 2009. OMG it sucked for so long! It was like half a year or so and 2 firmware updates before they finally got a firmware out that worked right (It constantly disconnects from PC). But after it was fixed... I still use it today.
