Re: [WTB] Gray Badge M122

Makes sense! Thanks, Mu! I use essentially all combinations of ctrl, alt, shift and arrow keys frequently, so sounds like it could get fairly annoying fast.

Re: [WTB] Gray Badge M122

Since we're already discussing the merits of the M122 (or lack thereof):
I'm one of the poor souls who do not own any 110+ key buckling spring keyboards (I know, I know, it sounds dreadful, but it's all I've ever known!).

What are the main drawbacks of the M122? The matrix?

Re: Key switch -> WPM: What's your fastest switch?

For me I think it comes more down to keycap profile than the switch itself, though the difference is marginal. Linear SI and model F is definitely among some of the faster ones though. Good point re: key profile. I also find that there is a big difference between ... Let's call it transient WPM and...

Re: Keyboard suggestion for Model F, but quieter.

I always floss-mod Model Fs, I would describe it as mostly cutting out the higher overtones which are the annoying ones. There is much less change and/or improvement with Model Ms, in my opinion, and I don't usually do it. Yeah, they're not as high pitched in the first place. Still, it's enough tha...

Re: Keyboard suggestion for Model F, but quieter.

Got a before and after video, or even a half done board? From what I gather, floss mod is a fair bit of work to dampen quite a lot of the sound. Not most of it, though. And there is a bit of deadening on the click feel. On a nice light F, it makes it heavier and less responsive, like M is, or such ...

Re: are vintage membrane keyboards worth it?

If we're talking membrane rubber dome boards, I'd call it a decisive maybe . The biggest problem, I find, is that rubber domes often do not age well . Very often they become stiff and unpleasant over time. Of course, this hardening of the rubber can sometimes increase tactility, which may be a good ...

The main difference in appearance between the Ultra Classic and the New M are the bezels. The New M features the return of bezels around the keyboard. Smaller than the Classic/Customizer, but still decently sized.
