Interesting theory. He has neat evidences that are in line with his hypothesis. Should we prevent the sun from touching beige/white plastics at all costs? If we believe his hypothesis, we probably should. I personally prefer black colored keyboards/key caps, and I think I have more reason to like th...

I have found 3M self stick rubber pads work quite well and have excellent grip. I got them at Michaels (arts & crafts store) for under $5.00 USD. Thanks for sharing the tip. I too prefer 3M adhesives to any other brand. However, the reason I used the non-slip pad was mainly to provide soft surface ...

Congrats on finding your keyboard. I would keep your HHKB away from the non-slip pad. Here is what happened to my black HHKB after some time on the pad.

Run this full-screen and let me know what you think: 4-RAwF3oshw I popped several keys on my Dell AT101W and did the same thing. Mine seems to do move around quite a bit.

In a libertarian market economy, you have to accept that if there are constantly demand enough, and low enough supply, the price will increase as per the famous curve. Some are simply willing to pay when you aren't Agreed! No problem with that. I don't think most of the people who complain about th...

having it self govern is a very fine line (what is the medium we are comparing to? original sale price? Original sale price minus usage = new price?) which will lead to many many arguments and in turn can be personal. If someone wants to pay that much for an item who's to say they can't (or it will...

I know GPL 103 is a little thicker but I have tried to mix it with 205 and the results were not very good. The viscosity was very inconsistant. How do you mix it Limmy? I put grease and oil in a small container and mixed it with coffee stick. They mix pretty well. If you want less thick grease you ...

GPL200 is basically PTFE thickened GPL100. If you have any other Krytox grease and GPL100, then you could make grease similar to GPL200. Also, don't be too surprised if you see a lot of oil-grease separation in GPL200. (I have seen quite amount of separation on my GPL201) I have at hand oil: GPL100,...

Doing something that no one else is doing is not usually a good business strategy. There are reasons why firms do not do certain things. By the way, it is good to hear something new is coming out from Cherry. I personally didn't like the most recent G80-3800 because the caps were not compatible. I h...

Limmy, why not use (one of) the Krytox for the springs? Krytox is too thin? I found the Victorinox oil on-line for about £3.something. Was there a specific Silicone oil you used? I expect there are many varieties with that title. Reason is simple. I tried it and I didn't like it or should I say the...

Limmy how viscous were the oils you used? Was thicker oil better? Or oil with more creep? Would the Victorinox oil be thin(ish) with low creep (so it stays on the bearings and doesn't creep all over the tool and then the hand and pocket? The oil is rather thick. For use on springs, I think thicker ...

I hope the new ones use better plastic more suited for friction. The current material for slider housing is ABS, which is not great material where friction is of concern.

I began buying different kind of lube because of my 6-year-old HHKB. It became pretty hard to press if not hit on the spot. Especially the control and backspace key were problematic.

high cap.png low cap.png Here are my thoughts on high caps and low caps. Pivot point and point of friction are kind of off for Cherry switches, but it conveys general idea.
