nice caps! sweet iconography

I loved magnum p.i., although something about it seemed implausible... this guy just lets him use his car/house/helicopter in hawaii for his private investigator business? Great stuff, heh.

Not to outdo darkcruix, but i'll be taking mine scuba diving next week. ;) Seriously though, I tried to take a better natural light photo for the color red, but then this happened to our skies: https://i.imgur.com/vLVbXZY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ei1Unnm.jpg But anyway, I decided to try my hand at ph...

oh wow, nice - i'd love to be able to configure this with VIA.

did you have to do anything special? Or was it just a matter of following these steps and then compiling the firmware with command line utilities?

Sorry for my ignorance, the world of qmk is mostly new to me.

hmm, is the implication here that I shouldn't suggest such things unless i'm willing to devote the next several years of my life to making it happen?

i was under the impression that project was dead..

Also, would love this kind of powdercoated zinc body in model m form

On the color, the photo is a bit off, but not too far... it has the trademark samsung over-saturation. I'll try to get a photo with some natural lighting tomorrow. It's a really punchy red, a tinge on the orange side. When I unboxed it, i was taken aback at its vibrance and beauty. Such an amazing d...

I just noticed that on the canon board, the stepped capslock key has its top the same size as the tab above it. Why dont more boards do this? It has always grinded my gears.

nice! how did you acquire the canon one?

Finally got my F77, and i'm super impressed. I did have one major issue - I had the problem where I had large swaths of keys that were unresponsive, and the issue seemed to be the pins on the ribbon cable connection poking through the tape and shorting out on the case. I layered some scotch tape for...

I like keyboards

For my F77 when it arrives, I ordered a single unit "Numpad 0 with Ins subtext" and they actually did it. Cost me $0.80. My 3270 and APL sets look great also, pictured below. https://i.imgur.com/hXujKir.jpg The feel of the caps are pretty damn on par with my genuine Model M keycaps from 1990, howeve...

I am 100% interested in quality spherical BS caps in great colorways. I love the colorway in the photos, and those classics mentioned by others.

Sorry man, all worthless. Send 'em here, I'll recycle them for you


I'd give you a better answer but I am unsure...

What about those optical switches I've seen on some retail boards lately?

I'm building a hotswap 75% using the ODIBAO id80 in blue with GMK Olivetti caps - not sure why I typed all that, I guess i'm just stoked. Anyway, as an alternative to lubed linears, I was wondering if there is a modern contactless switch in an MX-style PCB/Plate mount form-factor that can be hot-swa...

I may be able to answer this question...
Hit me up again sometime between july and years end...

i like detachable cables... i do end up swapping often. i have a Model M hooked up all the time for my coding/numpad needs, and I grab a smaller board with more appropriate switches when gaming or not trying to wake up my girlfriend. I actually feel that the smaller the board, the more important it ...

They say if you listen on a quiet night, you can still hear a Matias "tactile" switch clicking into the darkness..... click.... click.... click..

I love all these WYSE-50's pics. i really like the layout of these boards, basically a 65% with a numpad.. kinda AT layout evolved, heh. Also it seems like these WYSE-50's were bought and reskinned by some interesting companies in interesting ways. The body looks tough and well constructed. The lege...

Beautiful keyboard, and it looks like a pretty fun and usable layout - you should try to convert it.

The font and legends above the F keys are amazing, i'm a huge fan.

Perhaps PBT would require more heat to dye sub? I wonder if there is a difference in process..

Just updated the keyboard's firmware using the "X87EC(S)BLE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE", maybe that will solve this problem for good. There was a new firmware released last month...



update: firmware update sems to have fixed it

TL;DR: I have trouble registering off-center key presses on my Niz Plum. The CalibrationLite tool fixes the issue, but only temporarilly. I have to use the Calibration Tool and reset to "InitialCalib" about once a day. Got my Niz Plum 87 about a month ago. It has become my primary while I gather up ...

looks like a real PITA to get the colors to come out saturated

My maxkey blue & gray keycaps (sa/abs/double-shot) are pretty slippery and high quality. They also sound great IMO
But theorhetically POM should be much slicker, although I have no experience with it.

A friend wants something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch ... LQN68?th=1

Are there any other options that are: (in order of importance)
1. Wireless with regular batteries, not Li-Po
2. Tactile switch
3. Cherry MX Mount keycaps

Well then, I think I feel confident enough to say...

Nobody should pay $850 for that Model M in the ebay listing I listed before.
