Serious question - why HHKB and not a Leopold 660c?

Hey guys - what's roughly the value of a decent quality OmniKey101 with white complicated Alps? Are these rare? Wondering if I should do a trade

Very nice! Glad you didn't have to go through the pain of redoing the foam. Looks gorgeous!!

Finished it.

Used the vinegar bath to leave the top plate in for around 36 hours. Took the paint off and ate through some rust but some pitting remained. http://i.imgur.com/E5eWstB.jpg

Here it is removed with no sanding. The orange is new rust setting in from exposure to air and water after a ...

never cleaned or opened before.

Life is like a box of chocolates.


Hey fohat, any recommendations on sound insulation for the XT? Judging from your F122 restore, you've experimented quite a bit. Have you done any mods on the XT model that you would recommend as yielding the best result? Is ...

Very nice! That's definitely the cleanest XT I've seen around here

Picked up a keyboard recently and had it shipped all the way from Florida to frozen Canada. Picture made the keyboard seem fairly clean but upon arrival I discovered many years of dirt and grit. Opening her up confirmed my suspicion of rust on the metal plate. That means opening her up and cleaning ...

Pretty!

But not very Dasher-like. For one thing, they have the colors reversed (what they have is the Dancer colorway, not Dasher), and cylindrical keycaps are just plain wrong as an homage to the Dasher terminal.

But I can't fault them for wanting to bring lovely blue keycaps to the masses ...

Thanks gents

Hey Honthro - if you want to try Peerless in what seems to be NIB condition, try this ad. This guy's had this board up for a while. I considered buying it a few times but never did. $30 CAD isn't too steep if you just want to test them lol.

Is this worth it? Never tried Peerless, but a big fan of Model M and Model F XT switches

I have another Dell AT101W and it's the same type of thin keycaps

"W" always has lasered ABS that aren't very good.

If that serial number says 28K it may well be early enough to have the good ones.


Actually I think you might be right. I compared the W to this BNIB one and the keys sound ...

Have these gone up in value for a BNIB one to be worth anything?



If those are the dye-sub PBT caps they are very desirable.

That keyboard is a magnificent candidate for a "top end" switch mod.

Pretty sure it's your run of the mill ABS. I have another Dell AT101W and it's the same type of ...

I thought those were worth a ton of dosh?

These are worth about the same as an F XT, maybe less. They're pretty ...

From the round 7 discussion it seems that we'll not likely to see our Round 6 Phase 2 until well into 2018. What are our options on requesting refunds? Or at the very least having 7bit provide what his plan is in addressing the situation his business practices have resulted in?
