Re: Chicony KB-5160AT (w/Green Alps!)
The space bar is incredibly light! Almost too light. I wouldn't dare try to guess grams, but it feels about as light or lighter than my HHKB spacebar, which is 45g, I believe. Certainly loads lighter than the model F spacebar (I had to mod mine to get it to a usable state)

Re: Do you type any different with/without homing bumps on keycaps?

Re: Ibm model F XT replacement pad/foam/reassembly issues
I have had the misfortune of having to take my XT apart a couple times. Once when I spilled wine on it. :shock: Never again.
