I wonder what the neighborhood will think : lot's of foreign cars with weird looking people stepping out and pushing in trolleys loaded with keyboards... :)

I'm also thinking to continue the party after 6 in EIndhoven. European championship soccer quarter finals will be playing on big screens in many bars. Not that I am that much of a soccer fan, but the atmosphere will be nice.

That way the party can last a LOT longer and my family can get their sleep :-)

What do you guys think about this proposal?

We could even check out this great shoarma place in Eindhoven for dinner....

Okay, I did not know that the party is actually at MrInterfaces House. That's of course a totally different thing then. Well, as already mentioned we can always change the location after all the testing/trading/selling has finished and just grab a drink at a nice local bar or something (MrInterface is a local so he should know a good place).

I will be driving through the whole Ruhrpott to get there so if anyone needs a ride I got 2 open spaces in my car. The costs for the Diesel should be really low if we all share.

Contemplating a (eyes-closed) keyswitch contest from the first new switch sampler bag( more than 22 keyswitches! ). The person who guesses most keyswitches right will get to keep it :-)

Hah, that's cool! But give the newbies a chance to win it too! So let them test all the switches on other boards first ;)

There is a difference between can and not allowed to...
Also, what machinery are we talking about anyway?

I'll be there for the main event, but I had already made different plans for the evening.
No more requests? I have a Logitech rubber dome, I can take it with me.

Well, the space cadet would be nice to see and some other weird switch stuff of course. If you (or anybody else, of course) have some keyboards with similar switches but very different feel due to caps/build quality/housing that would be very interesting imho.

Sorry for not being able to make more precise requests. Just a moment...

EDIT: looking at your collection I find the ergo stuff very interesting, too

As mentioned earlier one of those rare mouseboards would be interesting...and some ergonomic mice maybe...

and yeah...the uTron would be interesting as well, I admit.

I'm also thinking of taking rubberdomes. They are way lighter than those bloody mechanicals!
