Will do! But if it lives up to my expectation, it is probably going to stay in my arsenal for quite some time.

Well lemme know that too.

Perhaps so, but I'm two minds about returning it for warranty (it's a 2Y) or start pulling the keys out and discovering it's a faulty switch after all (and warranty voided in the process) 🙂

Sorry for the necro, but I wanted to ask you about what you did with the Hermes P1. My P1 has started having issues with the "s" key and the "," not always registering. While both are annoying for typing, the "s" key not always registering is a pain in games.

Mine started doing the same on the w key. Quite annoying when you're trying to w key someone lol.

I sprayed some electronic cleaner into the key by removing the cap and holding down the stem, and it's working good as new.

Disclaimer, just because this worked for me doesn't mean it'll work for you, and i am by no way saying this is the right thing to do. Simply sharing what worked for me

Sorry, bro - bottom line, I wrote it off eventually...
It was too intermittent to prove faulty, it worked fine "cold" and started exhibiting issues only after half-hour or so (and sometimes not even). Been RMA'd twice, both times coming back as no fault. Tried to explain to the techies, but no joy - the message was lost by the time it reached the person in charge.

Got pissed off and bought the first pretty box on the shelf, it was HyperX Allow FPS and turned out great. MX Blues are noisy af, but giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling of 80's IBM at the same time

Ok thanks I will keep that in mind.

Ay, that is something I feared may happen. The keyboard was cheap compared to others, despite offering most of the same features, the one area I couldn't be sure of is reliability. Hopefully I have better luck. Thanks for the feedback.
