Have these keyboards vintage black switches?
Hello, do you know if one of these keyboards has vintage blacks? Do I understand correctly, that the "C" in the serial no. refers to a production in 1990 and that all black switches before 1994 are the old, smoother version. I'm a bit confused, because in the "Cherry date code" wiki there is an alte...

Re: linear-modded Alps SKCM cream damped switches: spring resistance & MX equivalent
MX won't feel the same as Alps. Yes, unfortunately true. :( But the closest would be a silent MX black switch in theory. You probably do not know more concrete values regarding the pure spring resistance? The linear modded alps switch feels a bit lighter to me than Cherry blacks. Could Gateron yell...

linear-modded Alps SKCM cream damped switches: spring resistance & MX equivalent
Hello, at home I use Alps SKCM cream damped switches from an AEKII, which I linearized by removing the tactile leafs. I love the typing feel and would also like to build a keyboard for my workplace. For different reasons, however, I would very much like to make one out of MX switches. On this point ...

buying advice (TKL/small ISO keyboard); VA69M quality
Hello, I want to buy a small keyboard with arrow keys. It should not be too high (as pokers are) to prevent wrist hurts. The keycaps should be MX compatible and the layout has to be ISO German. It would be great if the stock keycaps were of good quality. I waited for the chance to get a WhiteFox, bu...

Hello, I wanted to put the (lasered) keycaps of my G81 onto my modified 60% MX Board 3.0 (G80-3850). Unfortunately the space bar is too large and the caps lock key does not fit.

Following this shortcut the Greek symbol is written by Unicode key sequences and after...

Hi, I don't know if there is a direct way to enter Unicodes in MacOS like there is on Windows. If you know one, you could write macros for Soarer's controller that use that. That's the reason for why I'm asking. Macros would be a really easy and neat solution. Any other ideas on how to realize it w...

soarer Greek layer
Hello,
I use Soarer's keyboard controller firmware to program my keyboard. Could you recommend me a way to add a layer with Greek symbols while system language is German? ANSII code input is not possible because it is used in Mac OS.
Thank you.
