It’s a Weihrauch HW30S, a very low power springer, fitted with a nice Hawke Vantage IR 2-7x32AO scope. The limit for no-license ownership here is 10 joules but I ordered it from Germany where the limit is 7.5 J; in layman’s terms, it might kill a bird but it’ll barely break skin on a mammal (ok it’...

I bought this...

It's a nitro piston rifle, right?

I'm also concerned about the bigger keycaps, like this one. Should be angled or flat? At least to me, the profile looks horrid in this thing.

Hello guys. I'm designing a keyboard from the switches to the case (or really just dreaming about it). When I was modeling the keycaps I found something really interesting. You'll see, when I have my Selectric keycaps lying on my desk, they look something like this: https://media.discordapp.net/atta...

What is this? I can't find any info.




Alright, found it. Nice and cool Cherry MX blacks.

What a cute keyboard :) Haha yes it is any ideas how u could go about converting it and getting the screen to function? I would just, forgive the redundancy, trace the traces and write a pinout of the main controller of the keyboard (basically I'm telling you to copy the matrix) and then replace th...

What a cute keyboard

Snacks, thanks for all the dedication you put (and hopefully you will keep putting) on ​​this community, not only your contributions are great, but your way of doing things and your good character always helped to make this forum a friendlier place, because in the end all this for almost all of us i...

Hello. How do they feel?

Looks like it has the same FCC ID as the BTC rubberdomes. I don't know what to think.

Edit: my bad, fake Alps membrane keyboard. Worth for 5 USD?

WTF is this thing?

[…] Brioche bread fucking sucks. Brioche is a pastry, not a bread. […] Calling brioche "bread" is a common error. Simply have a look at the wikipedia entry Qu'ils mangent de la brioche " "Let them eat cake " is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche ", suppos...

I love the buzzer as well. Just used a similar one in one of my projects. I wish it made a "click" noise though. Does such a component exist?

What about a solenoid with a clicker?

I think I have a bomb. THIS CAN BE VERY OFFENSIVE, YOU'RE FOREWARNED.


Brioche bread fucking sucks.

I love to cook :D there you have some of my abominations: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/281193076092043266/617564343369728035/IMG_20190820_161029.jpg?width=745&height=559 Italian pizza dough with pategrás cheese https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/281193076092043266/61756431190838478...

This one is my favorite GIF:

I also noticed some problems in the blue switch:

I think you need to see this: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ch1/ Thanks dude. I was checking that guide in general terms but I intend something more rudimentary. Another update: Here is an assembly of the modules mounted on the PCB. I didn't bothered in the reed switches, I may end replacing them...

Talking serious about it, some of the economic decisions made by the NSDAP can work very well in my country because of the context. Right now we cannot resort to any conventional form of financing (taxes, currency or debt) and we have a constant inflationary panic and a lot of idleness. Would be goo...

You mean this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/12/argentinian-peso-plunges-as-centre-left-win-election-primary Don’t worry. The “centre left” are the good guys, when they’re not stuck in a food fight with themselves over who’s most woke. They even occasionally build stuff! Ah, those were...

I guess this is not an unpopular opinion outside of my country, but marxism sucks. Thanks again, light blue and white banana republic.

Hi. Sorry for the slow updating. The resin idea is quite good for test switches (the idea is use POM to achieve a good smoothness). I also found a standard type of magnet. When I was talking about beamspring springs it was because of the compressión springs they have, but this part is not too critic...

I'm working on a new version of the switch, which will be mounted on the PCB like something between Keytronic magnetic reed and Fujitsu leafspring. I'm having some problems, first one is find the proper magnets to work with, I think the neodymium ones will be to much strong. Also I don't know in wha...

I had the money and was coming to terms to buy it for weeks. And you got it the day I decided to buy it. You are SO lucky

At the end the life takes revenge on my luck, like the silver squared model M at 1000 ARS that I lost the last week.

You got lucky! At least yours wasn't like this one I got a while back: _DSC5719 copy.JPG On yours, You could just put a light coat of rust preventing oil (like something lanolin based, though beware, your beamspring may then smell like a sheep) and wipe off the excess. How rare is find something li...

Well, is not something too bad. If you want a clean and more serious finish you should paint the plate. Otherwise, if you don't want to expend money or you preffer the original zinc plating just leave it like that, but don't try to remove the rust, it will rust even more. Personally, in that state I...

Early replacement board, says KTC on PCB - Keytronic?

Me not much of a connaisseur of anything that came before DIN plugs...

Keytronic magnetic reed.

Barrel stabilizers are not as great for vertical purposes. Try to make some stabilizers by hand and glue them to the keyboard, I think Fohat or someone else did that in order to use a model M spacebar inside a model F. I have like 4 spare pairs, but the shipping from my country would kill your walle...

I think reparability is as important as the durability itself. Lets put IBM switches as an example. Beamsprings are a lot more dust sensitive than buckling springs (still being fucking extra over technology compared to modern switches), but unlike the model F's, beamspring keyboards can be taken apa...
