Might be a long-shot but if anyone have one of these laying around I would happily buy it from you. I am one cap away from covering my board.

Hi Plastikschnittstelle! Any update on packing and shipping?

Sweet!

Speaking for myself, no worries. You shouldn't feel obligated to make reparations. Stuff happens. It is after all a small, custom made order and delays are bound to happen.

This is gonna be a fun build:)

New case for my home office setup finally arrived

Expensive.

Such a cutie.

I remember seeing a bunch of those keyboards (without the monitor) on taobao quite cheaply a while back. They might still be around.

i received mine yesterday in the UK so i would expect by the end of the week or early next week depending on how quick the national post service is

Ah nice one, thanks! Swedish post service is a burning trash heap so I'll expect it to arrive in a couple of weeks.

Nice to hear that they've ...

I never received mine. How long does shipping to the EU usually take?

I just put in an offer - it likely isn't SKCL brown though, for anyone else interested. It's very likely SKCM blue.


In the description the the seller writes:
"a very rare clicky keyboard with the great sound and feel of the blue Alps switches."
But in the title it says SKCL browns.

Weird

Dunno if these have been posted here already but:

NOS NeXT boards with SKCM black

Oh damn I've completely missed that this was live . I just put my order in, hope I'm not too late

My theory is that the black JX board had SKCM "Neon" Green. If you look at the pictures the slider is definitely a different shade of green on the black board than it is on the beige.

Both the beige and the black had led-cutouts on the switches. I might be wrong but I don't believe that neon ...

BTW, we are over 90 payments. 94, I think.
So we have about two thirds. Not sure if this is good or bad, I tend to believe it is more good. Think it's normal that many pay at the last day - often did it like that myself.

Many people probably get their paychecks at the end of the month and wait ...

Me too. Hopefully people are quick to pay their invoices so it can go to production soon

Oh shitttt
Got my package today.
They are actually grey color

Mine too

Looking real good! Really psyched for this one

The thing is, they have this listing with €45 shipping and then other listings ( like this one ) with keyboards for ca. €6 + €15 shipping.

The description also says:
Lieferumfang: 10X Cherry Tastatur G80-18xx USB Grau

But perhaps I'm missing something.

This is how I interpret it it also ...

This guy on r/mk uses a Vita joystick for his build:

His uses an arduino for the build:

Very cool! I´m in for at least 3

Am now using White Vinegar for all cleaning, especially when it's greasy looking plastic/rubber surfaces.

It removes all dirt in about 14 minutes time, plus it's dirt cheap compared to most other cleaners out there. Vinegar is always good for cleaning just about ANYTHING ;) .

Cool, you leave ...

Totally ruins the awesome Marquardt Mini-Ergo

The 6180 series is awful also. Scratchy, squeaky, wobbly and and all around bad typing experience.

I was considering doing something similar using SMK gen 2s. They are not as low-profile but the sure click nicely:) They come kinda cheap too.

My vote is for the black version

Dunno if this floats anybody's boat but here's a Epson Business Full Keyboard(Topre JIS layout)

Amazing guide! Can this be added to the "Threads Of Interest"-thread?

I am pretty excited, the guy who ended up buying it is going to sell the pcb and chassis to me! Unfortunately I couldn't convince him to part with the caps too. It should make a nice board nonetheless, I really love the Nixie badge and the cool layout.

Nice! Hopefully the buyer desolders the ...
