Switch Try Numpad version 2. Round 2: EUROPE

This is where the older threads are stored for the try before you buy ( sinklist ) items
START OF EUROPE STNv2 TOUR

Managed by : Acanthophis

Subscription starts : 22-1-2013
Subscription ends : 22-2-2013


If you want to participate, PM Acanthophis your name and address, he will manage it from there.

NOTE : the sinklist manager will guide the process for you, he will tell you what to do and what he needs from you.

A SurpriseBag will be shipped with the sinklist item. If you like something that's inside, you are allowed to swap it for something equal in value, preferably more so the total value of the bag increases. The contents of the bag are for the sinklist manager so he can be rewarded for his efforts.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Switch Try Numpad version 2 is ready -> Cherrys and Alps together in a functionally working bundle! ( This one is done together with Ceesa ). Both MX and Alps and as a bonus the cherry ML!

No whites unfortunately.
Nevertheless, count me in! This will arrive so much sooner at my doorstep than Ceesa's switches (I even have the Australian group before me :/)

I'm located in Germany.


Oh, btw, is this numpad PCB mounted? If I get permission from you, I'd like to have a look on the springs and change them eventually.
Of course I will reset them to previous state and won't damage anything.

it's plate mounted.

Please don't pull the Alp Keycaps!

The Alp caps fits very strong (stuck). It would be an unnecessary stress test for the construction.

Ok. Would have only looked at the MX switches.
But since it's plate mounted, doesn't matter anyway. ;)

Hm...
So what does that graphic mean exactly? There are white/grey/black alps switches? I don't think I've ever heard of greys so I must be reading it wrong. :)

Oh, right. I remember almost buying one of these at some point.
My keyboard purchases had reached 4 digits and my conscience returned before, though. Do you have some of those switches left? :D

nice video! i miss a little thing. this thing is full functional. It is a Tipro board and every key is programmed.
(hope this is still so)

if so:
you could connect this via PS/2 and check out the trigger point of every switch live. Also (iirc) the 1st key in row makes a beep at the trigger point. So you have a audio and visual feedback for the trigger point.

3.45 EUR if it is less than 500g
7 EUR if it is more than 500g (it surely is less than 1kg).
