This post (or something similar) should be on the front page, or somehow pinned in the Spy or Board, so that it would always be visible when one visits the forum to encourage people to de-lurk Great idea

Decided to create this post in order to have a reference for the Cherry database and to check if anyone might know anything about this particular boards article number. This board originated from one of Wodans recycler hauls, and he was kind enough to sell it to me as my first Cherry board, so a tha...

@ISO_Returns
Thanks for making this GB happen and for all the work you've put into to it I'm in for a BoW kit myself and I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully BoW reaches MOQ

Anyone know what the "G" might stand for in this case? this question is what started it all, for me at least, and with all of these keyboards put in the same place, I thought I would be able to tell ... but yet I still don't know what they mean :( If you want to document it, I'll add you to the spr...

Hi, You've all done some really awesome work with this database. Hopefully I can contribute with something. I happen to have a G80-3000 H G D, and I didn't find that particular model when I browsed through the spreadsheet. I might have missed it though. Anyone know what the "G" might stand for in th...

@Wazrach Here's one ZKB-2 currently for sale. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123719821374 Looks pretty beat up though, quite rusted and the whole keyboard looks bent.

Simple, elegant, my MX endgame. I love it. Simply beautiful :) As an customs uninitiated may I ask what board this is? KMAC? Also, are the keycaps Ansi dyesubs? Does vintage clears have any other significant difference to modern clears, except of being a lot smoother? How is the tactility, is it ab...

PM with offer incoming

Inspired by this review of the factory silenced R2 I decided to pull the plug on a silenced Realforce. I however finally landed on the 87UW(S?) or "Low noise" version. Mainly because I personally like the old case design more, but I was also curious about the variable weighting. I must say I was ver...

I use boards with both ISO and ANSI-layout, but I exclusively type using the Swedish\Finnish-language setting on my computer. If I could choose, and there where enough options available, I would exclusively use boards with ISO and Swe\Fin layout.

Nicely written summery and guide on the cleaning process of that awesome board :) I bet Salmon Alps are really pleasant to use and even better when one goes that extra step of putting them thru a ultrasonic cleaning. I've also run into the same "finding enough time problem" as you. A few months back...

Testing out the concept of a leftside numpad, a simple one didn't suffice (will do a post on it). so I finally did what I wanted to do when I first got the M50 and installed it as leftside numpad PLUS extras. Still a work in progress, but I'm liking this setup so far (bezel excess notwithstanding)....

Are there custom keycaps for the Realforce 87U that you'd recommed? Readily available custom aftermarket keysets and keyset for Topre in general are unfortunately kinda scarce. The only one I can think of is the Kbdfans 9009 set. Don't know anything about the quality of the set though. I use 88U 45...

Reuters DX3000 What kind of switches and caps does this have?

Of course, my reasoning is somewhat weakened by people who hit space bars with palm :roll: No worries! They are covered by the new, exciting, Palmer™ keyboard. Palmer.png (it even comes with an extra set of titanium stabs, because replacing those if when they break is quite a b*tch!) :mrgreen: Thos...

Any particular Keytronic boards you guys could recommend? The ErgoForce really stood out for me. All their other RD boards that I tried were very mediocre. It is the best one to buy. It has variable weighting; possibly the first key board that had it. It is always labelled "ErgoForce" and always fe...

I have a Compaq board with NMB dome with slider and the keyfeel is quite solid imo with decent tactility and weighting. The board itself is quite hefty and sturdy for a rubber dome board. I use it at work from time to time. As a daily driver I use a 88U with 45g switches and it is the perfect switch...

That 5140 seems like a neat little Alps board, and in great condition as well. It would be awesome to be able to make a converter as well as perhaps a case for it so that it could be put to use :) Copter actually did that! He posted about it here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9666&st...

That F122 is such a beauty :shock: A lot of work has probably gone into that board :) I wish I had the some extra funds atm :cry: Also shipping that thing to the EU would certainly not be cheap either ;) Anyway, GLWS :D Edit: I also wish I had a bigger desk to fit that huge board :lol: Hahaha - it ...

The key feel is quite awful - like poking a mattress, but the SSK layout looks interesting. What do you think? Should I give it some care and post more pictures or is it trash/not interesting? Yes, please don't kill it of just yet. We would like to hear more about the "Sun SSK" :D The layout looks ...

As Matteo pointed out, they should have offered to refund you when they realized the boards you ordered wasn't in stock. You purchased the boards based on the information that they where immediately available. If one takes that into account then waiting close to 3 months for something thats supposed...

3 months?? Thats sound way to long. What model(s) was it, Pro2 or Type-S? Was it pre-order? I bought a Type-S in the beginning of December (which I ended selling in February as the layout was sadly not for me) and the Type-S arrived at the end of January without to much of a delay. I myself haven't ...

I prefer filco but if you can find the same quality for less go for it. This is the list of drop in controllers https://deskthority.net/wiki/Costar_replacement_controllers Dunno if any are still available. 1upkeyboards had the replacement controller, The Pegasus Hoof, for the Filco Majestouch in st...

( just a tip from someone who uses an F122 in an open office) To be able to use a F122 in an open office environment sounds awesome :D I'm using a 88U at work, and even thou its quite silent, I still get frustrating looks from a co-worker, who uses a Apple Magic keyboard btw, whenever I really hamm...

bump as well as a small price drop, board is still available
