Re: Best cheap keyboards?

Velocifire has pretty bad stabilizers though. But they are Cherry standard.

Are these in keyboards or plate assemblies? What do they look like may I ask?

Re: modernised G80-3000, now in TKL !

I don't like it anymore. It just looks like any $20 Chinese gamer keyboard now.
I really like the old G80 cases because they actually looked like a classic keyboard.

Why can't we have any modern fullsize cheap mech keyboards without any "gamer" or backlit BS?

I don't want to be that guy, but have you seen the zeal clicky switch? it's supposed to be based off of blue alps.
I just saw it, but it has a polycarbonate housing so I don't think it will be the same.

Re: Issues with a Matias Tactile Pro 4 I bought

Matias makes the stems way too tight. The last build I did with them I cracked several new Tai-Hao keycaps trying to pull them off. NOS Alps switches and every other Alps clone I tried don't have this problem. I don't do builds with them anymore, I will be using another clicky Alps clone I found (it...

Wyse 50s are beautiful keyboards! I recently came across this keyboard in a pile I picked up to desolder. I have never seen caps like these on a Wyse before. Connector is a standard terminal jack.

Re: [IC] 104 key Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard

My suggestions (posted on Google form as well) non-backlit version, any black and Durock T1 switches as options, or kit form without keycaps (except spacebar keycaps) or switches, just the chassis and PCB.

Re: Alps Appreciation

The thing is that is I can easily make them feel nice and tactile but I don't know if it's the "correct" tactility. Unless I can have access to a NOS tactile leaf (wondering if it's worth it or if Alps tactiles had this poor tactility out of the box)

Re: Alps Appreciation

I'm frustrated with tactile Alps, every single switch I've tried felt like scratchy linears except for SKCM Brown (presumably from wear) but I have no way to rebend them so they are consistent or even accurate to how they were originally. I did find a plant in China who can make new leaves at a reas...

Re: Alps restoration guide

I've had good luck with "WD-40 Specialist with PTFE"
It leave a slightly oily film instead of being completely dry like Dupont PTFE i've tried, it seems to work well.
I put some on the Caps Lock switch of my yellow Alps64 (mapped to fn) to stop it from binding and it hasn't lost it's smoothness.
