And this keyboard isn’t vaporware anymore. I remember when it started sales, 5 years or so ago. Now I regret not buying one, the USD-BRL exchange rate now is horrendous. :confused:

5 years is a long time to wait, it is understandable.

I thought it was a pretty good review. Really interesting to hear him talk about this layout issues. It was a nice reminder of what people not intrenched in this hobby have to deal with.

Sounds like with a little bit of time, he could fix his issues, but he is correct in stating for the price he paid, maybe he should not have to do stuff like that.

The keycaps on this look nicer than what ships on Unicomp models as well.

Heard the sublimation was very well done, much better than on the unicomp.

You can still get in on the project. Joe is really flexible. Just tell him you want in and he’ll get you sorted out. I only got my order in a few months ago. We’ll be toward the tail end of orders, but even those should complete before end of year.

USD-BRL exchange rates:

  • March 2016: R$ 3,62 for $1.00;
  • March 2021: R$ 5,53 for $1.00

The keyboard just became too expensive for me now. :confused:

I see, around 2018 would have been great, in retrospect. A pity.
