Did you mean something like this?




Judging by the looks, it will be weak in the thin part in between the stem and the stem fitting.

I know I'm digging out a very old thread, mind sharing the file for this?

My Class 80 with HAD Keycaps. My only MX Custom that fits on Deskthority.

This looks great, wow!

Does this count?

Right alt key was not working. I thought one of the switches was just broken but no, turns out the right alt was NOT SOLDERED. it didn't even look de-soldered, it just looked like the switch was not ever soldered to the board. One of the most crazy keebs related thing I've ever read. The first owne...

Great looking board! More rivets will break over time, think about doing the bolt-mod.

While the caps are a little too flamboyant for my taste, that's an impressive case mod you did there. Very nice! Thanks. That's right, the keycaps are just a temporary solution for now. There is no replacement for the 2.5u spacebar so it will have to be a gray keycap set. I'm going to try out XMI H...

No, it won't because these are not MX switches. There is no change to the mounting system, the PCB is still screwed to the plate. Springs, domes and silencing rings are in original condition. Slider are Deskeys. I heard the sound of the plastic case with my own ears, rebuilt the board by myself and ...

Sound and typing feel are absolutely original, this modification only affects optics and weight.

my first time with nipples :lol: lovely :oops: Totally agree! What bothers is the yellowing of the case, why I swapped my own Pro JP into an PSD60 aluminium case. 20221022-HHKB-Pro-JP-im-Poseidon-PSD60 (20).JPG A little mod guide from less than 500 grams to 1.4 kilogram: https://imgur.com/a/MJi9ecl

I am sorry not to have read and questioned it already in 2016... /s What else could I do, instead of writing down here? Asking the OP via PM? Doesn't help anyone. Create a new thread and link it? Leads to confusion. Tbh, this accusation of picking over the bones is nonsense imho. Hope you have a gre...

This keyboard is great! Since I saw this beauty for the first time I'm thinking of ordering the parts, so thanks to op for the files!

Who of you ordered a PCB, at which manufacturer and how much did it cost? Would it be possible to use a bigger space key and a detachable cable?

A dream came true, my tactile typing orgasm. HHKB Professional JP from 2009, a PD-KB420W, bought via buyee.jp which is a very good proxy. Modded with Deskeys Topre MX Silders and Cherry Vintage SAD Alphas. Shift, Space and Enter have kept their original stabilizers especially because I don't have a ...

According to the photos, the hot swappable PCB is for ANSI layout.

I'm into a wee bit of flex. Keep us posted! I'm into that too, so here's the NCR80 flexing edition! I have marked in the bottom case where the flexing cuts are and removed all braces in this area. First with a cutoff wheel on the grinder, then with a box cutter whose blade I heated over the lighter...

done

Bottom-out is quite hard, although the PCB has two flexing cuts. But they are pretty useless because of the braces in the bottom case. There's no room for the PCB to bend itself. O-ring-mounting could be a thing, I guess. Some flexing is great in my opinion, I'm going to take a test on this soon.

I also have an NCR80, but I built it plateless with a soldered PCB. Great board for it's price. "Low, open thock" seems to describe the sound well, but mine has "low, open, heavy click" because of the Kailh BOX Jades. Moreover there are Durock screw-in v2 stabilizers and a lot of foam in the case. A...

Does all four switches work like normal? Such an insane idea, but creative nonetheless

Yes, all four can be used for whatever you think. But it's not my smallest "keyboard", the PLIP.works D1P doesn't take up that much space.

I thought I'd show my last build project, the Big Switch keyboard. - Big Switch keyboard (1).JPG Big Switch keyboard (2).JPG - Main switch: NovelKeys Big Switch Series Dark Yellow (works as enter-key) Additional switches: 3 pcs Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Red (media- / RGB-control) PCB: YMDK YMD09, de...

I am typing this on a D-91275 obtained from my work.

Sorry, but that's funny.

"D" means Germany and "91275" is the zip code of Auerbach/Opf., where Cherry is based. You are typing on a G84-4100PCMEU.

Genau so ist es, das X230 hat bereits diese Chiclet-Tasten. Die hatte ich 'damals' getestet, als riesigen Rückschritt empfunden und deshalb das X220 erst viel später als geplant außer Dienst gestellt. Die Omnikey gefällt mir, zwar kein ISO-DE, aber immerhin nah dran, für mich nah genug. ;) Mit der R...

Fullsize, big ass enter, keine F-Row - was ist denn das für ein Exot?

@TNT - Eine der besten Notebook-Tastaturen, die es je gab! Ich hatte lange Jahre ein X220. Hast du sonst "nur" US-ANSI-Boards?

@Chris Hello - Die rote Kirsche mit grünem Blatt gefällt mir.

@Chris Hello - Das ist US-ANSI, kein ISO-DE ...

Dieser wunderbare Thread ist eingeschlafen, wie konnte das nur passieren? Eine laienhaft weiß lackierte Raptor K1 mit Blacks und XDA Retro unternimmt einen Wiederbelebungsversuch.

The Teleport TKL unfortunately was never available when I took a look at their site, so I only bought the white keycap set. I can confirm that they're as good as you would expect.

JKLÄÖ? Seems legit.
