Quality Disclaimer
In order to meet our goal of providing an in stock mid range keyboard at an affordable price, we  have adjusted our quality standards compared to our more premium keyboards. We have listed acceptable blemishes and B-Stock information below.

The Vicious40 is a board aimed to stay within a budget, and maintain affordability. It’s fully aluminum and anodized beautifully, but to achieve this price point, the quality bar is lower than some of our more “premium line” boards, such as the Satisfaction75 and Chimera65. Customers have been happy with the quality of the Brutal-line boards, but we like to communicate this prior to purchase.

In general, large defects to visible faces will make a board B stock. But minor issues, small issues that are only visible in just the right angle of lighting, or small dents or blemishes on the bottom of the case that are not visible when the keyboard is fully built and on the desk will not cause a B stock evaluation.

Keyboard cases that ship with keyboards are meant to protect keyboards during shipping. These keyboard cases are made to order to fit the keyboard precisely, and are limited in quantity. As such, we do not replace keyboard cases if the keyboard case arrives damaged. Ideally, no keyboard carrying case arrives damaged, but at times, couriers are rough with packages and damages can occur. In these instances, we offer customers a $5 coupon off their next order as compensation.
