Product Description
Crafted with an ultra-low profile, the Tesoro RGB keyboard is as nice to look at as it is to type on. As any gamer knows, speed is essential in the heat of competition Read More
lloks like massdrop is struggling to sell ever since they crossed me. Until I get %50 on my next camera order they will feel more erosion on market share.
I'm thinking about grabbing this board, but I heard the program for the rgb is pretty dated and frustrating to use. Can anyone who has prior experience with this board confirm or deny this claim?
clonex10100Dear Customer
The Gram Spectrum equip with the ABS double shot injection keycaps so due to the double shot injection keycaps tooling limitation, there are some give and take to provide the high quality keycaps to our customer.
Thanks
I wouldn't recommend this keyboard, at least the blue switches. Terrible clanking sound from the face-plate not just on the stabiliser keys as mentioned in another comment. The switches feels very restrictive and bumpy unlike Cherry's or even other Kailhs. The tactile requires more force than it should. So I got another exactly same keyboard thinking mine's was defective, but problem still persists. I heard they fixed the clanking sound in later models but that doesn't fix the bad switches.
Can't blame the RGB lighting though. It is stunningly beautiful with smooth transitions on both white and black. I presume the red switches are the better option but I couldn't get a hold of one.
MaximusKhZDear Customer
We try our best to develop the best tactile feeling switch under the low profile space limitation.
It's hard to compare with Cherry blue cause we do decrease the pre-travel distance from 2mm to 1.5mm.
We also put the silencer cotton to decrease the clanking sound.

TesoroIt's nice of you to reply and provide a picture of the chassis. I finally got my hands on a white one with red switches and I have to say that I absolutely love them, especially the low profile of the keyboard. One gripe though, I am from the UK and these things are like unicorns over here. White, colourful, and you're lucky if you spot one. Impossible to buy them locally, needless to say Massdrop doesn't ship this product to the UK. Would be nice to get stock in over here.
I keep hearing complaints about repeated switch failures on Gram Spectrums, but that was also with runs that were bought from launch til December 2016. Any clue if that's been ironed out and this board is worth it?
That's not entirely true. Sometimes prices actually aren't any cheaper than other online retailers, but sometimes they are, and there have been multiple cases where I've been flat out unable to find some of the products offered elsewhere. The truth is that Massdrop is really a marketing machine, but occasionally there are good deals and unique products here.
Alex79Massdrop is a US company that just happens to do business on the internet. Since they ship from the USA, they often get complaints about shipping fees. I believe in this case the manufacturer doesn't want people outside the USA to purchase their product because they probably don't have [enough/any] international distributors to deal with warranty complaints or returns. No company wants to be seen as not supporting their customers. Even if the person is returning the product, they want to make the experience as pain-free as possible. Having to pay 40+€ to ship back a product that cost $99 (and probably had another $40 added for international shipping+VAT) doesn't help your wallet or their online reviews, even if it is only one or two extremely angry Europeans for every 100 happy ones.
That said, this is just my guess why they don't ship internationally. I don't work for them and I don't own any of their products, so I could be completely wrong.
Another fine product that can still NOT be bought anywhere else on the Globe, except from within the United States.
Go figure a Keyboard that can only be sold in the US and no where else, you learn something new daily, visiting MassDrop to miss out on buying anything worthwhile.
Thank you MassDrop, shall obviously be forced to spend my money elsewhere.
