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

@Laser Thanks! What did you have in mind regarding trades? A partial trade+paypal would perhaps work out PM me if you have something to offer

Hello everyone :) I would like to sell my stock HHKB Pro 2 Type-S. The board is about a month old and has seen moderate usage during that time. I bought it to give smaller form factors than TKL a last chance, and although its a great board I've now come to the conclusion that it doesn't fit my needs...

That sure is a beautiful board, simple and elegant :) The wider case/bezel design of older Topre boards look so good imo. Also the Realforce logo placement being on the lock light bank makes it stand out less, and that ads to the overall simplicity. How is the variable weighting like to use on a dai...

I have some version 1 RF87U boards that I've silenced with my own "Hypersphere silencing rings" along with lubing the switches using Super Lube 51010 synthetic oil and lubing the stabilizers using Super Lube 21010 synthetic grease. Although this procedure entails opening up the keyboard and all the...

A well written and a very thorough review :) Made me consider upgrading to the R2 TKL from my 88U. ~ Silencing mats. The box also contains two rubber mats in different thicknesses that can be installed on the plate by first removing the keycaps. This will provide even more silencing at the expense o...

Such a beauty Those non-Azerty legends, are they pad printed?

Great review as always, and a very interesting piece of Cherry history :) Would you say that this is the best foam and foil board that you've tried? Shame that you can't easily use it, sure would make I nice daily driver. Too bad that its missing that one Alt keycap. Is the mount just like a 90° rot...

The set you linked has problem with qc, The overall quality is pretty poorly were some legends doesnt match and some even has a significant more rough or smooth surface than other keys. Just a headsup. You're talking about the KBDfans set, right? I can't imagine Matt3o being content with QC issues....

Was /dev/tty really available a few days ago? I'd really like a set for my Novatouch, and I had the e-mail reminder on, but I didn't receive any e-mail that it was back in stock. It was available in the most recent Re-Cap drop. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/capatoa-keycap-explosion Did you have a re...

And then there is also EnjoyPBT Slate, which is currently available for pre-order. https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/group-buys/enjoypbt-slate-keycaps-set_128/ I know the struggle of trying to find a nice keyset with true ISO-Nordic support as I've been searching alot myself x) The only good ...

Hi! A pretty decent set in a nice vintage colorway is the EnjoyPBT 9009 set. The set has ISO-Nordic support. A quite expensive set, but it can be found here: https://candykeys.com/product/r4-enjoypbt-9009-keycap-set or here: https://kbdfans.cn/collections/enjoypbt-keycaps/products/pre-orderenjoypbt-...

Mixed opinions all the way from type 5 through type 7 on the Bristol scale . I just had to google that because I didn't understand that referens... Are you perhaps refering to the scale by Doctor K. Hering from Bristol University? :lol: Quite a figurative way off describing bad switch feel... :)

As for me, I haven't dared to mess with my Realforce 55g so far. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... Yeah, I'm a coward when it comes to my precious Realforce... :oops: The thing that attracted me to Topre boards, apart from me really enjoying the keyfeel of Topre switches, was the high out of the b...

BKE domes in Light and Heavy are as mentioned also available but they are a little more expensive than these advertised Korean domes... That's quite an understatement... As for how good these Korean domes fare in comparison to Topre ones: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14697 Thank you ...

I agree with the OP. I put Topre 55g domes in my Realforce 104UG HiPro. It feels positively sublime after the conversion. My favorite aftermarket domes are the "55g Korean Domes" you find on eBay for $20. As someone who is currently looking to get into modding Topre boards I have a question regardi...

In addition, we could institute tech challenges for hardware and/or software. For example, we could throw down the gauntlet of the Soarer Converter software to extend and improve the code. Expanding the converters so that they become easier to use and understand is a great direction. I think that t...

Oh you bet it is. I love my Bluetooth HHKB . By far and away my most practical, and therefore used, of all my keyboards. I think Vometia’s ISO dependency is about the *physical* ISO Enter key vs. ANSI, not a *logical* remapping of other keys in the layout. If so, an alt controller would make no dif...

I’d give the cheaper FC660C consideration, as near on everyone loves those. But again with the ANSI and off standard layout. If you’re strictly ISO, good old keyboardco may have a barrel to introduce you to… I prefer to use ISO, but in the case with the FC660C I have replaced the standard controlle...

Does the Leopold have a plate? Yes or no will make a qualitative difference. Its absence certainly does in the HHKB, which feels the lightest 45g of all. The FC660C also has a plate. Before I bought the FC660C I tried a friends stock HHKB, and now afterwards when I can compare it to the FC660C the ...

There is a major difference in feel between a HHKB with stock 45g domes and a RF with stock 55g domes. Indeed, I find a noticeable difference between each of these combinations: HHKB 45g - RF87U 45g HHKB 45g - RF87U 55g HHKB 55g - RF87U 45g HHKB 55g - RF87U 55g About a month ago I bought my first R...

Regarding the legibility of the legends on a black Realforce with stock keycaps I myself find them atleast somewhat readable in decent lighting. Here is a phototato of my 88UB with stock keycaps. https://imgur.com/a/n1MbtE5 Please excuse the somewhat crappy quality. The picture was taken at my work,...

Hi everyone First post on Deskthority and I thought i would share my personal experience with Matias-switches and keyboards.
