Re: Round 7 / ALGOL-style / Deadline 2018-11-30

I've asked for a refund last year September 11th and still no reply. But I'm sure this is all perfectly normal and I only have to wait a few rmore years.

So that's what they sound like; which is quite awesome! I don't get stereo sound strangely, it's only coming from the left speaker. A pitty, the sound is great! And so is the black paint.

I can recall those weren't exactly cheap. The pricetag of 219,00 is still on the box (right upper corner) but whether that is German mark or euro I can't tell.

https://i.imgur.com/P9Zt1SH.jpg This. This here. I once had a wired version of that iTouch keyboard. I typed, bashed, gamed, programmed and more with it for about 15 years before it died thanks to an spilled energy drink. I recently kept thinking about it, it even made a short cameo in a dream (I s...

Rubberized coating on Realforce keycaps? That's new to me. Are you sure it's not just the PBT texture that you're feeling. I was used to the keyboard on my Macbook Pro (flat keys, very short travel) before I got my first HHKB. It didn't take long to get used to typing on the HHKB, and now I really ...

Since when have beamsprings been going for 1.2k and 1.4k? I swear before that Displaywriter keyboard sold, the previous sales were around $600.

I've measured your badge at 1.8cm x 1.8cm, the one of my F122 is 2cm x 2cm.
