Wow Ellipse, you don't do things by halves!

I might as well make an ambit claim like __red__ and Vizir... sphericals would absolutely rock.

I like the idea of sphericals too - but only if they look like they were made before I was born. Basically the aesthetics of a Honey Well or some other sexy ...

I got in touch with hasu. Basically I asked him if he would be able to add SMK support to his 60% and was told the demand was too small; which I can understand.

Since he provides everything needed in a Ki-Cad file how difficult would it be? Is it simply a matter of adding holes and traces to them ...

Sent! Thanks!

Speaking of Alps, Does anyone know how to get a hold of hasu on GeekHack without becoming a member to that site?

So if you are making your own keycaps does this mean you will be able to make swappable control / capslock keys?

I've got a question that I think is brilliant and am sorry I didn't think of it until now ...

Is there a way to put a "lo-jack" type device in the keyboard - possibly powered by the keyboard itself - so that in the case of theft it can be tracked down by the authorities?

wait a minute - just hold on - as my mind is in some sort of fugue state...

ellipse are you saying that before this drops you are going offer brand new 1 piece keycaps as an option instead of the unicomp? That's what I think I read but I think I might be having a seizure...

CM Bram,

You would probably also give everyone a great big boner if 55g domes were available to swap in.

Just a thought!

Looks like Coolermaster is selling Novatouch stems now:

wow, they now their market alright
a nice company move, unlike those lazy boggers at Unicomp

I wish Unicomp would go bankrupt already so somebody can scrape up what's ...

In a more classical sense, BTC dome with slider keyboards; 5140, 5130 etc.

I need to find a clean BTC some day. So many folks have said nice things about them.

The final round closes 6/30/16 but you would need to wait until August/September for them to ship :(

I prefer the additional delay so the factory workers can make sure everything goes out the door correctly and well packaged.


Interestingly only 17 black unprinted key sets have been ordered ...

My favorites have been aluminum chassis scissor switch models: Enermax Aurora Lite and Siig Premium Aluminum.

Absolute workhorses for environments that demand silence.

I want to add one more to my previous suggestions: Cherry Evolution Stream XT (G85‑23100EU‑2).

If you were late to the party ...

This isn't exactly a great/interesting find but I thought I'd point out that Elite Keyboards is now taking preorders for the 45g 87U which they say is arriving March 10th-12th.

I'm confused - that dust would cause issues for the switches yet these are completely sealed? So how would dust get in there?

Are you referring to the Desko? Because that auction is up.

I'm currently listening to many of the Amiga .MOD compilations on YouTube.

Black/Gray Unicomp 104 USB Made for Macs!

Comes with cover and is a very early 2008 model - right about the same time Unicomp started making this trimmed down version; so it may not have any of the usual case ...

Well this year my bank account is tied up with Ellipse; but if for some reason Unicomp announces a going out of business sale I'm going to try to make it down to the factory pick up some stuff and maybe take a few pictures before someone locks up the place.

no buckling springs no care

It must be the yank in me defending Unicomp.

This is why I'm exclusive with buckling springs.

People can talk all the crap they want about Unicomp; I'm willing to wager my 103 will outlast all your Cherry boards.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't sure if there was any relation to Chiun master of sinanju:



Yes I know that isn't real either.

I'm not interested in returning to Alps or MX for that matter. Buckling springs are where it's at for me!

I haven't been as picky with mice as I have been with keyboards. At work the usual cheapo $5 Dell mouse works just fine. At home I use a Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse - otherwise known as the "WOM."

When shopping for a mouse I wanted something that looked like a professional mouse without all the ...

As always, I love your reviews :)

Comments/questions:

The Olivetti should have double shot keycaps. This may not matter much since the older boards have much higher quality legends than what is available today.
