matt3o, awesome stuff.

Could you photograph the R4 and R5 (flat) spacebar prototypes next to a typical Topre spacebar?

I'm in for this set, and look forward to 6u spacebars in the future, but I'm curious how my Realforce spacebar might look nestled in the middle of this set. Thanks!

Topre XF01TS from Japan, Topre Type Heaven, 3278 beamspring, IKBC 87 and 108, some donor Brown Alps. I've been busy lately... Let's crack open our Type Heavens to harvest the rubber domes and slider housings then we'll continue attheicearcade's Topre experiments using JTK Sliders to create the next...

XMIT, I've been out of town for the past week and missed the initial announcement; however, it was just advertised in my daily Massdrop email. It looks like the RSVP is full, but this is 5 minutes from my house so I am curious. If you decide to go, drop me a message. It amuses me to think that if yo...

Thanks for the guide, Spikebolt. I used it today for installing them in my HHKB. I had to use a flat-head screwdriver and a little bit of force to get my sliders out. I also might've installed a couple of rings upside-down... but I haven't noticed any side effects yet. The shiny side of the ring is...

After adding a new member to my Topre family I got all excited about keyboards again and couldn't help but strap a mic to a gorilla and record some silencing comparison audio. I am still blown away by the difference between the silenced and unsilenced Type Heaven. And although I prefer the feel of t...

Has any one tried this one? http://www.amazon.com/Shepherd-Hardware-9974-Surface-Adhesive/dp/B00004YOHX I have pack of the Shepherd Hardware anti-skid pads #9970 (38mm) that I purchased a while back. They look identical to a new pack of Everbilt pads I picked up this weekend from Home Depot. I foun...

I've shuffled rubber domes between all three of my Topre keyboards and installed silencing rings on two of them. As tempting as it is to leave the rubber stuck to the pc board on disassembly and hope for perfect alignment on reassembly I no longer skip this step. Twice I've been burned with a couple...

@AdamVIP I installed a set of these last weekend on a variable weight Type Heaven and was blown away by the improvement. It honestly made me rethink my whole Topre strategy. Before the silencing rings I always compared the stock 45g Type Heaven I use at home to a 45g Realforce at work. After I insta...

Glad to see these back so soon! With the price reduction I couldn't resist picking up a 107-pack for a chattering Type Heaven. I may even try them on a 104u if the back-order ever ships, but I don't have a problem today with my uniform 45g Realforce 104ub. It is clear I must blend all the things int...
