Hey Tombery, sorry for any ignorance on my part, and any implication that the USSR was Nazi-ish. I know most Russians, along with the Germans, are nice, decent people like everyone else, whether their country is at war or not. I'm from the UK, and we have plenty blood on our hands too. I should have...

Or check out some of the Iranian army... Creepy! :shock: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/7/22/1437577500062/d1a8935c-d7ae-4675-959f-27ab7494e5fc-2060x1213.jpeg?w=620&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=43a1a6fac52df5da56970abbc0c56346 Wow! That is some scary shit.

@7bit -> If you can support the ANSI MINILA, I'd be stoked. If the alphas and/or modifiers in this GB are black, then reusing the 3u spacebar and Fn keycaps that come with the MINILA would be an option. If there's anything I can do to save you any trouble, just let me know. I just really want some p...

shreebles: Makes sense. I once heard the Nazi uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss. Perhaps ISIS should hire Gucci.

This is gorgeous, but without a 3u space bar, it's no good for my ANSI MINILA. I'm hoping to get a PC 122 from Unicomp soon, but this isn't going to work for that either

Such a nice scheme. It's odd that the USSR, the Roman Empire and the Nazis were always the coolest to look at.

There's a company here in the UK that will print keycaps for about a dollar. I just created a new thread about them:

Thanks vvp. That's really helpful information. I thought it'd be much more expensive than that, more like 100 Euros. Katy is badass - really nice job there. My plan is far less ambitious. I just want to make a case for replacing the one on an OEM keyboard.

Thanks again.

Hey vvp, that case is sweet.

I'm really interested in 3D printing, but it's still quite expensive, even once you have the tools. Any help getting a handle on realistic running costs would be helpful. How much do you reckon your case cost in materials?

Nice! There's a successful Kickstarter for a new 3D printer powered by your smartphone or tablet (Android, iOS or Windows). It's going to be $100 and claims a resolution of 32 microns. It isn't a large device, but is more than large enough to do a bunch of keycaps. Assuming it all happens, the tooli...

Another thing I just noticed: I did something wrong when editing the metadata, so now the thumbnail version of Daniel's image is attributed to me. Sorry about all this. I was just trying to be helpful, but am new to using Mediawiki software. If someone can help me fix this mess, I promise I'll make ...

Just replaced a photo named Removing_a_key_with_a_keypuller.jpg . It's here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Removing_a_key_with_a_keypuller.jpg I resized it to 800x600 before uploading it, which is the same ratio as the original, but much smaller. The aim was to keep the file small, but I'm now w...

Thanks man.

Still, I should really learn to type properly. It's kind of embarrassing. I'm a software developer, and people doubt your credentials if you can't churn out code like in movies.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Dropping Scroll Lock is an option, and the Pause key could be moved to the function layer, just so it's there if it's ever needed. Better support for Vim users would be nice. Good point, Scarpia. Jacobolus, you make some really good points too. Thing is, I have a really...

If you slide your keyboard to the left a bit, don't your hands slide to the left a bit too?

I had a few ideas floating around, so put them together, and thought someone here might find it interesting. The example would be for OS X, but you could easily adapt it to whatever you wanted. http://s13.postimg.org/53bi9g887/keyboard.png A couple of the punctuation keys have been moved, which isn'...

Personally, I think, the red looks a bit better. If you could find a red Enter key as well, that would look sweet.

Hey Oracle, Can you help me out with keycaps please? I want to put spherical keycaps on an ANSI MINILA. Keeping the spacebar and Fn keycaps that came with the keyboard is an option, so long as the alphas or the modifiers are black to match. Filco do a complete set of black, spherical caps for the AN...

Is this still active? Have a G84 4700 keypad (light gray) in new condition. It has a tatty box, and I had a quick go with it to check it works, but it is otherwise brand new. Really [really] want some ML keycaps (any that are not grey would be interesting) and also need a good case (or at least the ...
