Ahhh, this is great stuff, thank y'all for your input! Keyboard.io gives you one palm button for each hand. But this nifty device can easily give you three per hand. Even elbow keys could now become a thing!! Now I'll just have to find one in reasoably appealing condition...

Just saw this 'Creative Labs Prodikeys DM' keyboard (!) for the first time ever. If I could somehow program those musical keys, this would be sort of like a wet dream of my keyboarding "career"! Does anyone know if that's at all possible - or do they just produce sound from some internal speaker? Ma...

Die leihste mir dann mal aus, wenn fertig, ja? Cursor keys: my vote is for version A!

Bump - only Cherry case freebies for now

Bump for added Videowriter SKCM brown boards and a German IBM Battleship

Thanks for chiming in! It would seem then that while concial springs could approximate what I want, the MX platform isn't designed to accomodate them. Spirit's progressive springs therefore achieve progression with a fixed diameter but increasing distance between coils; not sure what the technical t...

Yes, a non-linear spring would do that, except non-linear springs don't exist according to this very interesting bit of keyboard science that I just managed to dig up. This supports Bjerrk's and my contention above that, really, a second element (spring, foam or whatever) is needed to properly manag...

Well, the idea is that it should be bouncy rather than mushy. There is a difference...

Tactility isn't what I'm talking about as it is supposed to signal actuation rather than the physical end of the movement so it is usually placed far above the switch's bottom.

Yeah, of course, a second spring might work even better than something involving foam, though it would mean a complete switch redesign as opposed to just sticking some kind of foam in or around the switch somwhere . I have a feeling that a leaf spring might be particularly well suited to the task, b...

This is fun! I should do more trolling in the future! 1. This is some grade-A copypasta beauty. Thank you for enriching my life with this bit of self-aggrandizing horseshittery. You're not much one for subtlety and irony then? 2. Literally nobody has made the argument. that that minor improvements i...

Thanks for your input. I would posit that for an ideal typing experience there should be an element either inside or outside (like a high-tech O-ring) the switch itself hat while signalling clearly to the finger that the end of the motion has been reached, is designed to 1. return as much of the ene...

1. I knew I shouldn't have tried to enlighten this haven of keyboard luddites and traditionalists with my brilliant idea, should have just gone straight to reddit! 2. The argument that minor improvements in typing feel and speed don't matter is pretty rich on a forum where many spend100s of $$ to ge...

Old luggable with rare USw LMBW02 switches. Pity the whole assembly is in such a dilapidated state...

Get those O-rings if you're set on keeping your current setup for a cheap and quick fix. If hardware can be changed, I second XMIT's praise of box switches in general and the silent browns in particular. To get back at the whining bastards, though, claim you have developed RSI and just use dictation...

Well, this is the key passage: The Nike Vaporfly sole helps runners lose less energy per step Jake Riley, an American runner who finished ninth in the 2019 Chicago marathon, has said the Nike Vaporfly 4% shoes feel like „running on trampolines.“ The secret is in the sole, which is designed to help r...

Been wondering if this type of technology couldn't be applied to keyboard switches as well. :geek: :P Any ideas?

The G80 version of the 8038 is not a Cherry model, but a modification made by a third party (don't remember the name at the moment), according to which they make them only with MX browns. Bugger, you were right, of course. G81 it is! :cry: :roll: Still, a great little tank of a board. Not sure I wi...

But then again, maybe it isn't G81! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, though.

Damn! And to think I just missed this beautiful NIB mother of a Siemens terminal keyboard...

Strange Cherry fish, should be a pretty great little workhorse! Likely MX blacks under thin PBT keycaps. Does anyone know the model number?

That picture is funny and concerning at the same time :mrgreen: I've been in that basement and, yes, at the time I was wondering if that was healthy. Now one large room in my basement looks very similar - though it probably only contains about one third of Wodan's keyboard storage volume. And yes, ...

If you want the best, I don't think anything compares to these. Good luck finding them, though! It's one of my most lasting regrets that I traded that board with Myoth.

The mind boggles!!

It has finally become a reality.

The four little nibs holding the LED panel in place are a giveaway for KeyTronic boards.

Just wanted to chime in here and express my gratitude for the fun I had on and with this site over the last four years or so. Very much appreciated and here's hoping the owner change will preserve this great ressource and community for future generations!

Not a good photo angle to judge from as most clones have two 'tabs' on each side, which this photo doesn't show.

Made a comment on richa's review of Seelpy in another thread here, which you may find relevant.

You're a brave man and I applaud your efforts! I, too, have been intrigued by the idea behind Seelpy, but you have confirmed my doubts about its efficiency. Thanks for that! Yet, I wonder if it could acutally be made into a true alternative to more traditional layouts by using only one extra layer o...

Hi! Das könnte schon sein. Ich versuche morgen mal im Keller nachzuschauen.
