Agreed, it looks good and is roomy, as it can be given the form factor. Portable used to be a much bigger factor, nobody does these anymore, I wonder why

ahahah, good time good time, at one of these i had a full tower beige and all with an AMD K6 2 3DNOW
5 CD Bays at least 10 cm higher than everyones else towers
and a CRT monitor too ... i used my ice hockey equipment bag to carry the stuff i was using
alright ... time for a trial
(no worries i keep the Elite Series 2, and if that one is good, well i can resell the ES2 for at least 80% of retail
)
Machenike (Epomaker?) G5 Pro V2 Premium Edition 46chf~ (well that's a whole 100chf less than the ES2
)
Hall Effect hot swappable K-Silver sticks? optical microswitches for ABXY and optical triggers? Kailh half trigger for D-Pad? and bundling a 2.4ghz dongle from the get go?
well i recon the value is quite good
i , actually, prefer the Macro buttons over the paddle, tho the one from the Stealth Ultra were just as confusing as the paddle ... that layout is easier to remember (as usual i have them mapped to D-Pad)
stock sticks are 700gf with a resolution of 4096 (opposed to the usual 1024 of the G5 Pro)
testing it atm, first impression is ... good to say the least.
felt+PU leather transport sleeve for the Edge (can fit the Thock 75% too )
acrylic case for my GBA/SP stuff for protection and bragging right
couch potato KB/touchpad + 2 AAA 1.5V Li-ion batteries and ... well i had to get that one when i saw it ... (it even come with a QR code to redeem an exclusive Ballantine skin for Borderland 3
)
1.2V NiMH batteries do not play well with that KB, normal 1.5V do, well since i had some AA i decided to check the AAA (it's another brand that the one i'm used to, but they were extra cheap almost less than standard non rechargeable one
)
and some more audio cassettes
(don't look at me like that ... i am eclectic and i have peculiar taste ... and Ado singing is fantastic!
oooh, you meant the keycaps of the Edge? ah, yeah, i get odd stare at work for that too ... no biggies )
and i finally swapped all the Kailh Box Black for the Flame Skull Succubus, switched back to the pudding caps and bought more O-rings (well ... it avoid one step more when swapping keys ...
)
damn these switches are awesome, the only cons i can find would be the housing and shaft color make white a bit pink-ish but subtle other than that bloody silent (and i did not instal the poron pads, since i would have to dismantle the KB to do so
) and reactive...
only the keys with stabs are noisy (space backspace and enter )
almost want to try them in place of the Cherry MX Silver on the fightpad
