Interesting layout...

I once bought a used 3000HED to try Clears. Don't know what I expected, but so far Clears are the biggest disappointment for me of the Cherry switches (no experience with Browns and Whites yet). I tried them with the original, black and blue springs, but they just don't feel right: always sticky and...

Tag, ich frage erst mal hier: hat jemand in DE Interesse an 128 neuen MX-Greens? Ich habe sie ursprünglich gekauft, um eine G80-2551 auf Greens umzubauen. Aber Pläne ändern sich... das heißt, ich brauche sie eigentlich nicht mehr. Ich will 7bit nicht das Geschäft vermiesen, aber ich denke etwas güns...

Vielleicht ist der Vintage-Kram nach all den Jahren aber auch "ausgedünstet" und daher trotzdem die bessere Wahl? Dafür müsste man halt mal eine G80 von 1990 oder so in die Untersuchung einbeziehen. Nein, ich stelle keine zur Verfügung. ;) Und was den China-Ramsch von heute angeht, ich weiß nicht......

"G80-0622d/03"

Who got it? I thought it would go higher...

0332 arrived today! Thank you, 7bit!

I like that clicky Alps looking bonus switch.

0332? Justed wanted to PM you, because it's not here yet.

I hope it's not lost, especially if greens are sold out...

What about this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/321179187921 ?

Mechanical? Cherry? Doubleshots? Nothing at all?

I'll never get it why everybody thinks vintage blacks are smoother. I have several G80 HADs from the 90s, and to me they all feel just stiffer than the newer ones.

OK. Two cables, two cases, one or two metal plates. The rest will be recycled (I hope so). Thanks.

I have both types. And I hate them both.

I have a bunch of G81's that I got for the caps. (Of course, and I can't imagine any other reason why to get one.) Is there anything except the obvious (case, cable) that can be used as spare parts for G80 boards? Electronics, controller, whatever? If not, I'll cut two of the better cables, keep two...

Any news on when the greens (and whites) are to be expected?

Can't wait for my G80-2551HF²D... (aka "The Frog").

I have a IBM 75H9520 (KB6326), built in 1998 and really heavy (for a rubberdome). I really like it, it's the best rubberdome I came across so far.

OK, I give in.

A slider phone with MX Blues! They don't even fit in notebooks nowadays. Or did they ever? Well, people have no problem holding a 5"+ baking tray next to their ear and talking to it. Where's the difference in holding a G80 to your head? Doesn't have to be the full 102/105 keys, I can live with a 18...

I'd try the Q10. The keyboard is reason enough. Those touch only phones may have a bigger screen for web browsing, but to me virtual keyboards are a pain if you want to send e-mails longer than 2 words more than 2 times a day. Concerning the "openness" of the OS, Meego/N9 would be the way to go. I r...

Why are you always extending the preorder period? You make it really hard to hold off myself from spending lots of money on stupid Cherry switches... :? Ask the GH60 people! Also: what is wrong with cheap preorder prices a little longer? :-) The problem is there are these voices that tell me to buy...

Highscreen MY 3000

It could be Dye Sub or Doubleshot, someone in Germany get it because I don't know why I bid on it

G81-3081SAD - 19,27 EUR shipped.

Same here. I have mapped Caps Lock as compose key in xorg.conf. So i use it once in a while.

But I never use Scroll Lock. And left Win, right Win and Menu - that is because I do not have keyboards on which these keys do exist...

HPMDE --> Throw the board away, get a new L(P/S/Q)CDE and move the caps to the new board.

Or... sell the caps and use the money to get two new G80s to have one in spare if this sort of accident tends to happen more often...

Tahoma/8... without any antialiasing - die, blurry fonts, die. (http://www.sharpfonts.co.cc/ for Nobel Prize. )

(Courier New is OK, too.)

OK, now I know who bid me out on this one... :lol: You also got the Peacock board from the same seller? That is the first keyboard I've seen with a QWERZ layout and English modifiers. Intresting I have a Schneider G81-1157HAD I got from Ascaii. It has/had the same caps like this one, but the MY-Swi...

damn hipsters... http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6385/1501hfd.jpg Mine looks the same now. Except I used my poor soldering skills to make the 3 LED keys MX-Blue as well. The soldering points look dilettantish, but for now all 3 do still work. :o I think I will use this board to replace the MX-Blac...

It really sucks that all the "cool" "special" Cherry boards default to MX-Black only.

I thought about converting one of my 2551 HADs to HFD, but getting two LSCDEs for 45€ each just to rip out the springs and stems to make one other board clicky...

OK, thanks. I was just curious.

So time to clean it and make it HFD.
