it's 1 AM here, just submerged several badly yellowed ya-sheng BS caps in the solution (5 scoops in 500 mL), model M gotta wait.. not enough oxy-magic left for the whole case and caps.

left the room dark. and as previously expected, it still bubbles. I'm optimistic with the result. especially if ...

Ok, indoor oxy only compared with outdoor oxy only as control is what I'll do tomorrow then.

considering I use oxy clean, what concentration would you suggest I start with?

@fossala:
is it ok to post my before/after results here or should I start another thread? I'm starting to feel like I'm ...

I'm not sure I follow.. WITHOUT UV light at all will be akin to complete darkness or isolated spectrum from certain lamps.
Is that what you mean?

or will it work with no direct UV source?

I'm starting a new bleaching project on model M case and caps tomorrow. So I'll give any of the above a shot.

mx orange... すてきな!!

great triple- and quad shot.

同じ製品のなぜこれほど多くのブランドは？

kaskus.co.idから
(that's machine translation, my japanese is so rusty it's no longer exist)

why so many brand for the same product?

from kaskus.co.id
newmen,cherry mx compatible-blue switch, linear ...

So it will be fine to use on pad printing?
as long as you don't overdo it, yes. I'll post the pics of overdone bleaching when I got back. Some of the prints seemed to wear off :(

@mintsberryminuscrunch:What sucks on your part of handling? Is it irritative to your skin or is it simply inconvenient ...

oh, well, this is my compaq -NMB rubber dome (my clusterfu**k back in 7bit's thread)

I should've been satisfied with this result after 12 hours.

^exactly

now, I believe I have several yellowed boards stashed somewhere..
will try several alternatives and report back

I get a little bit annoyed when everybody talks about Retr0brighting, and by that means "bleaching the stuff in a big tub of pure H₂O₂.

but that's the original method of removing the yellowing :p ...

STOP EVERYTHING.

You guys obviously missed a GH ridiculously huge megathread where myself ...

HaaTa, any clue on how topre is involved in this board?

btw, a bit OOT here, you're right about the μtron screws.. I'm in the process of dismantling it now.. sorry it took a long time (and you know how topre boards are loaded with screws on their pcbs :(), will post the photos as soon as I got ...

um, can you please post the pics of the peroxide 'creme' you used? I gather it'd be more practical than submerging the whole case as I did, so if possible, I'd like to duplicate the procedure.

you got enough keyboard already webwit... give us n00bs a chance :p

so, litster, how long are you going to admire them before selling it?

nice results
AKIMbO, have you ever have mottled result from retrobrite? I gather that you completlely submerged the whole caps and casing as opposed to reapply the peroxide every ten minutes...?

I got mottled plastics from 40% peroxide after only a day recently (granted, it's tropical sunshine and ...

@litster: Great work! if you plan to make your case available to public, count me in.

I'd call that 'backing up'. You know how prone those casette tapes to mold

@dox: nice DIY tray.. but I didn't expect you to browse DT from an M11x

well, if it's about the height and drivers, I only found one from neko's keyboard room
look the same as my M13's trackpoint (if not bit shorter) though.

um, how do you come into conclusion that it will me more cost-effective harvesting trackpoints from these?

Hi IN..

I believe aries' would have detailed insight in salvaging trackpoint for the mod you described.
I thought I saw him post here (or was it GH) last year.

I gave up working on this mod when I saw ergodox :p actually I'm too lazy to learn electronics from scratch

Are you going to implant one ...

ah, yes, typing on a HHK, I can see what you mean. thanks bhtooefr

@vierax: well, I don't know anything about software and how they're supposed to be designed/configured, but as a pure user that has used dvorak, my only complain is that it became awkward when typing in high speed (my pinkies tire faster than they do on other layouts).. and that it makes typing in ...

or rather, like this?

speaking of keyboardp0rn, I haven't seen sixty either for quite some time. Is he allright?

I found that it is fine, keep thinking about changing to another layout but I can't see any reason too.

yeah, me too. I wanted to give arensito/workman and carpalx layout a shot sometimes, but the first weeks of learning new layout is always a nightmare.


Scientific layout was the official ...

@bhtooefr: not sure about what you mean with the 'scientific' layout, but, isn't DHIATENSOR on Blickenderfer's layout?


to date, I've only managed to be able to use only QWERTY, dvorak (this one practically dwindling to unusable after several months not using it), and colemak (used most of the time).

Is that a chameleon at the left side of the picture?

wow, you must type quite a lot...

I'm a former dvorak user, I ditch it after reaching 70~ WPM, but always curious at dvorak comfort at 100-ish, since it uses pinkies a lot.

care to give some insight, fossala?

pretty sure it's from AK124 (G80-9009 HAU)

MEI stands for Matsushita Electric Industrial , which equals Panasonic? I'm just guessing , maybe the MEI on the switches is a completely different company. Does someone has better info? Researching for the wiki...



how about mechanical engineering inc .?

maybe unrelated, but I'm pretty sure a ...

I was thinking of some kind of 25-pin cables.. but personally, I'm as blind as a bat when it comes to electronics (trust me trax, you may claim you're a programmer without much knowledge about electronics, but even that is a huge improvement compared to me)

I brought my AK124 to a friend who seems ...

@bhtooefr: compared to those vintage I've seen, yes, these topre caps looks wimpy

care to point out some keyboard with good spherical caps? I'm looking at getting some 'true' vintages, i.e. those without known mods to work on modern computers.

does the design of the plunger lessens the keycaps ...

ah, congrats then..does the design of the plunger lessens the keycaps wobbling significantly? and does the plunder interchangeable with ordinary realforce board? that would be my only two points of justifying hipro purchase at this point. The case is.. well, so 104pro-ish


Speaking of price, I ...

been following this thread for a while now

any words on hipro series with layout other than JIS?

geez, the 30g actuation force on my 104pro only does little remedy to justify its purchase :( and, how interkx seems so tempting now....

btw, 002, did you get the celavi yet? any chance of lowering ...
