I come here and read 'destroying typewriters for fun'... Nah, that must be all wrong. Let's try again: 'destroying typewriters for fuu...' What?! How is that not a capital punishment crime?! Where is the authority? How are Pinochet's deathsquads not on the way to your house right now?

Great review. Out of curiosity, how does the Plum compare to a standard MX board, say with browns? I guess a clone has no chance when matched with the high quality original, but as I mentioned elsewhere, capacitive switches have their advantages over common MX. Would it be viable to buy the Plum not ...

I dental-banded mine again today, lubed the slider housings, wiped them so no greese would cause any stickyness, but the plastic would still stay smooth and did a very thorough job of selecting the thinnest dental bands and placing them on the stems. Finally I am pleased with the result. I would say ...

You need the dome, springs only provide lie 5g resistance and I believe there are all the same for every Topre board. I know people have swapped to 55g from Realforce and I think that the dome from it fit without any modification. However that would require actually buying a Realforce, so this begs ...

Cookie, just kidding, the experience is fine. The dental bands I used were actually very thin, somewhere around that 0,5mm when stretched around the stems. I did compare how much space they take with pictures of other mods and I think that everything reduces the keytravel at least a little bit. One ...

I own the Novatouch and do most typing on it. I bought it for one reason only - no key chatter issues and a switch that basically cannot fail under normal use (at least I wasn't able to find any reports on that). As for the sound and feel, it does rattle and it is irritating. I probably would not ...
