Ducky PBTs http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/ind ... etail&p=98

or Filco Doubleshots http://www.diatec.co.jp/shop/2cmold/

are both excellent.

I have the Filco DS and a Ninja set of Ducky PBTs on my Filco TKL - both are highly recommended.

Doubleshots will definitely help the keys feel stable.

PBT keycaps will make them feel even more so.

For example, http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=98

I second that comment about quieter Topres - my hhkb is much quieter than my Filco TKL (MXReds) - I swap between ...

Yes, they are.

No, they are not. I thought you mean the HONEY/FORTY kits.

You must look here for keys with deep dish:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/R5#Blank_kits
:o
BLANK/R3U100D/WHITE (blank key deep dish (white) | $1)
BLANK/R3U100D/GREY (blank key deep dish (grey)$LQ2 | $4)
BLANK/R3U100D/RED ...

Quick question - for the two sets:

HONEY/ERGO/RED/WHITE
HONEY/ERGO/BLACK

Are the F and J keys deep-dish or not?

EDIT: hoping they are
EDIT EDIT: also, can you confirm for me that both sets are completely blank?

HONEY/HHKB looks sweet!

Out-of-curiosity, which boards are people buying this set for (as we are talking MX here)?

btw, has anyone figured out the sets needed for a Kinesis layout?

on gh http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=23446.390 , I see a posting of a breakdown (towards the end of that page, there is a chart), but I'm afraid to get this to match out with Round 5 would take a computer program to figure out ...

Funny, i started my journey in mechanical keyboards with the HHKB Pro 2, and i start now to move away from it for MX switches...
While having a very good build quality and Topre being a nice switch, If i compare it to my Ducky G2Pro black mamba in all objectivity - The quality feeling, the ...

I just got my blank white hhkb hooked up to my MacBook Pro.

The arrow keys actually don't bother me because I don't use them.

I use KeyRemap4MacBook with the Complete Vi Mode turned on and the Holding "v" to toggle modes ticked off.

So whenever I need arrow keys, I hold down "v" to get into Vi ...

woohoo! the 104-key US version is back in stock - just put the order in... (along with a white blank hhkb and the geeky bag on amazon.co.jp) - a friend will bring me the goods in January - can't wait!

I need a clarification: even though the name of the set is Honey/HHKB, these are still Cherry-switch keycaps, correct?

In other words, despite the name, I cannot put this set on an actual HHKB?

If I am wrong, and they actually would work on a real HHKB somehow, let me know and I will have to add ...

HONEY/TKL (TKL kit | $59)
HONEY/NUMPAD (Numpad white/grey kit | $16)

$89 vs $75

What's up?

Arbitrage!

Sell HONEY/STANDARD125, Buy HONEY/TKL/NUMPAD (j/k)

Erhem!
:mad:

15*8/5==24 EUR
15*8/6==20 EUR

The 15 EUR price is based on the current price quote for 25,000 key caps. Bu now, we are at ~40,000 key caps, so the 15 EUR might turn into 12 EUR, so one IT kit will cost only 16 EUR when you take one.

okay so 8 is not the MOQ is just the tier. The ...

How did these old keyboards feel? is it worthwhile trying to mimic the feeling of yesteryear? Is one type going to feel "wrong" or "right"?
Depends if you have shelves full of the originals to compare against!

The Honeywell these caps are modelled after is a butter smooth linear Hall effect ...

wtf - did someone do a pump-and-dump?

I thought we were above 100%!

I plan to raise the prices or throw them out, should there be no orders at all:

HONEY/COLEMAK | 3| 14| 12|USD|COLEMAK language kit
:mad:

I've paid USD140.40 and have to pay USD82.16, including one of those HONEY/COLEMAK.

I guess I should wait a bit more to see what happens to that set before ...

Layer 3 in this picture is the plate, it's part of the case:
https://www.massdrop.com/ext/ergodox/assembly#layer-order

So you can use plate-mounted Cherry MX switches. The ErgoDox PCB features also two additional holes at each switch position that are used by PCB-mounted Cherry MX switches for ...

we've got a wiki here...:

and:

as for plate vs PCB mount:

So if you do order a plate with your buy at massdrop, then go with the "NW"-less ...

Replacing clears with reds? Smart move. Because you'll also have the right ingredients to make ergo clears (put a red's spring inside a clear) which gives you three switch options for the price of two.

Okay, you are making me jump head-first into the rabbit hole here.

Can you elaborate to a noob ...

well, the kits on massdrop have 78 key switches, that should leave a couple of spares incase you knacker any by accident but you might wanna be conservative and add a couple more, especially if you're new to such DIY. if you're getting the case as part of the drop it has a plate for the keys, so ...

I'm considering putting in an order for the ergodox mass drop expiring in 4 days, but I need me some MX reds.

How many and what kind (MXRED or MXRED/NW) would I need?

Added Colemak to my order - I hope there are enough of these to keep it from getting dropped!

7.7% to go in 6 days - what are the chances that we hit the MOQ?

I've already put in an order and paid via PayPal, but now, I'm wondering:

Is there a way to buy additional keys so that I can switch L CAPS LOCK with L CTRL keys on a Filco TKL ANSI setup?

Essentially like a UNIX/hhkb format.
Yes, just order one of these:
HONEY/MODIFIER
HONEY/MOD175 ...

Ordered #0118 - tyvm, 7bit for your help and hard work in putting this together!

This is my first GB!

Hi 7bit,

This is my very first group buy (I was directed here by some very enthusiastic fans of 7bit on geekhack: Halvar/Elrick).

Can you help me put together a minimal set that will work any of the keyboards below with MX reds?

1. 87 TKL Filco
2. 104 Filco
3. ergodox
4. HHKB pro 2 (not sure if ...
