Selling a few of my keyboards. Details and pricing below. Pictures at the bottom. Keyboard: Deck Legend (similar to Hassium Pro 108) Keys: Cherry MX Black Key Caps: Deck double-shot ABS, translucent (LED glow) letters Condition: Very good physical condition, but the * key on numpad doesn't work and ...

Looking for a Leopold FC980C with 45g switches, or a FC980M with either brown or clear switches.

Thanks.

Interesting...removed I guess.

I think I'm going to go ahead and attempt to dye some white on black Cherry double-shots anyway. Got a good deal on a G80-11900HRMUS, so why not.

Amleth gets a little bit loose with Keyboard Science - maybe ESL problems? Although what amleth says about the boiling part is correct.

:frowny face:

Was really hoping they would be POM.

Here is where I saw that they might be POM. Post #4. http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=391 Earlier, I put ABS/PBT/POM in boiling water. Less than 2min. ABS lost their shape. Misshaped ugly. But, POM has very little impact (but, for sure misshaped). PBT ? Perfect, nothing have changed. Oops,...

What are the Black Cherry "H" double shot keys made of? I was originally under the impression that they were ABS which would kill my idea of dyeing them. However, I have read more recently that they might be POM, which I could dye. I'm thinking of picking up a refurb G80-11900HRMUS in black, but wan...

5 more hours....I actually had to look up what 2200 CET was in EST to figure it out it was 1600 EST.

Chances are getting slim, but here is my entry because I would love a Tenkeyless with MX Reds.

Black widow rumors?

Random comment: It looks like that spacebar is compatible with both Cherry and ALPS stabilizers, what the heck! Also that turbo key is nice, where is it from? Anyway, don't think these will go for much. It seems to be the MX variant to the Focus ALPS keycaps. They are from some really old keyboard ...

I would definitely be down for a custom spec'd kbc poker with cherry reds instead of the tenkeyless...lead time is fine...especially if it actually gets made.

Geekhack/deskthority collaboration?

Yeah...I need to get a shopping cart together on Mouser and see just how much everything is going to cost for the "true" conversion. I am also going to have to build/buy a AVR programmer to do it.

The poll was interesting, but also showed the problem. While if you want to make something happen, the direction is plain and obvious. There is interest. Geekhack is a big community. No need to gauge. So first decide on the keyboard type. Easy, tenkeyless. Then, what kind. You can't make a super cu...

Had a G9x for about a year, but my pink started to hurt after long gaming sessions. I sold it and got a Mionix Naos 5000...3 months strong and problem solved. G9x was a great mouse and I feel the Naos 5000 performs just as well (same laser if I recall)...it just feels better in my hand.

I need to do a USB mod to my Model M that I am modding ( link to geekhack mod thread ) and can't decide if I want to buy a "blue cube" PS/2-USB adapter and transplant it into my keyboard ( like Ripster shows here ) or if I should do the full ground up custom programmed controller (l ike Mnemonix did...

I guess it indeed was just to reduce costs then, and the corrosion story was made up to hide that fact :D turbocharged, do you work in this kinda business? What would you consider the optimal material for springs? Since I am changing the production on "the geekhack spring", maybe you can suggest a ...

In my last post I meant 310 stainless, not 304....however what I wrote is still true of 304 stainless as well.

Also, when I asked them I was told that the material change was not to save costs, but rather to make the switches more durable to corrosion. Kinda questionable decision, considering that if you spill liquid into a switch you are likely still fucked anyway, corrosion following or not. Corrosion isn...

I really want to try Topre 55g, MX Clears, MX Reds. I'm getting some brown springs in the mail next week and will be converting my G80-11900 to "reds" so we will see, there may be a new king in my book. Why don't you enter the Switch Try Bag sinklist : http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64 ...

So how did you guys get these anyway?

I have a set of double shot key caps that are kind of a weird layout and don't think I will end up using them...not sure what to ask for them. First off, the red "turbo" key is not included. http://deskthority.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=146&sid=498a5dbed6d7389308e619c26fd0a149 http://desktho...

I haven't yet tried every switch out there, but have listed every switch I have tried and the order in which I like them...towards the bottom of the list, the order is more vague/arbitrary. 1) Cherry MX Black (feels endless and smooth...whether PCB or plate mounted, they are hands down my favorite. ...

This thing looks awesome. Was really hoping from the first pictures that the entire keyboard had red switches, but I do love the black switches. So the retail price looks like it is going to be around $100 USD? And I'm guessing it will have to be imported individually. I would say the cable is proba...
