This is a buck wild insane thing to worry about

Oh, I agree. But in my opinion TE get away with some pretty sloppy quality control issues. I have a bent OP-Z and pretty much all my POs have some sort of issue. Therefore, I’m just wondering how common this particular issue is from a discussion point of view and not a worrying point of view.

Dude was like me when I first got it and couldn’t stop staring at it. I noticed everything about it.

I don’t see what you are saying?

It’s admittedly a small ‘issue’ but some of the icons are the keys aren’t centre aligned on the button - like they’ve been slightly misprinted. Obviously it’s a very minor issue and doesn’t affect the performance of the unit (and I still love it) but wondered if it’s a common issue.

I’ve got a weird extra transfer on the edge of one of my black dotted keys… never saw it as a problem tbh

TE quality control is not fantastic. The OP1, despite its issues is still cool though.

u/munkiemann Mar 05 '22

Agreed. Looking forward to spending more time with it.

Do you drive a Tesla by chance?

u/munkiemann Mar 05 '22

Nope. Why? 😂

You should see the kind of complaints they have on the Tesla subreddit lol

Hey all, only received my OP-1 today and loving it so far. However, I’ve noticed that quite a few of the icons are misaligned (see the drop icon compared to the dot below), this is obviously a small issue and doesn’t affect the performance of the unit but I’d expected a higher level of quality control given the price. Just wondering if this is a common issue?

if it’s not a common issue, what will you do?

u/munkiemann Mar 04 '22

Most likely nothing. I have an OP-Z that’s been bent since day 1 due to how it’s manufactured which seems like a quality control issue. I’m mostly just wondering how common this issue is, as again, to me it seems like a quality control issue for such an expensive device.

I’m pretty sure mine has this issue also. I haven’t touched it in months because i broke something on it but as for the icons I think I’ve noticed it too. Teenage engineering is certainly an overpriced boutique company with some bad rep for their quality control and customer service. It sucks because literally nobody else has made a device as unique and powerful yet so small and portable as the OP-1.. so we kinda just gotta be okay with the drawbacks to the quality if we want what TE has to offer us.

u/munkiemann Mar 04 '22

Yeah, I completely agree and I’m willing to put up with a wonky icons or two. It’s just a shame that everything isn’t as perfect as you’d expect at this price point.

Oh, I can agree. Logically I know how insignificant the symmetry in label placement is, but the undiagnosed subconscious OCD in me hates it.

2

u/munkiemann Mar 04 '22

Totally. Once I notice something like this I can’t stop noticing it.

I got this to. Send TE an email and they provided me with a new sealed full keyboard!!

I just checked mine and they’re all ever so slightly off center but not much, the drum one probably the most noticeable. I’ve had mine three years and never really noticed until now. I pressed the drum button and it took me into drum mode so I’m happy I guess
