Today I cracked out my Mitsumi keyboard for a wee bit for funzies and much to my surprise, realised it's got a fairly respectable 4 key rollover? Typically boards of this age only go up to about 2 or 3? I'd be really happy to use this for a bit, however... the ...

Looking for one of these bad boys, give me a PM if you're willing to part with it, I'd love to try one!

I've gotten very little use out of it since I've grown impartial to the small layout.

I know what you're driving at, but impartial isn't the opposite of partial. It means more detached and objective, like a judge is meant to be at trial. You probably want "indifferent", which has a shade more ...

Up for sale is my HHKB Pro Classic with Krytox 205g0 lubricated sliders & stabilizers, Deskeys #5 silicone rings, and dampening mat. I love this little keyboard but over the past months I've gotten very little use out of it since I've grown impartial to the small layout. The board has been well kept ...

On the hunt for an SMK 2nd gen keyboard in UK ISO or BAE ANSI layout. Preferably MX mount

Oh, we all know I’m Guilty. ;)

Space Invaders are really something. In some respects, they’re the precise opposite of Topre. Their tactility is BOOYEAH! compared to Topre’s subtle swing. They also clack like mad. Yet their heart’s in the right place. I can’t help but liking them quite a bit ...

Looking for an NMB Hi-Tek board with UK ISO caps, any offers please hmu

This is for a project board I decided to work on as I'm a fan of the 'Mitsumi' mod with BTC foam keyboards and wanted to give it a try on this BTC 53 series board I recently purchased, however the foam has degraded in some areas as switch presses require a lot of extra force to actuate.

So if ...

It's the domes—and therefore the feel—I’m most focussed on. Also a real stickler for Helvetica dyesubs, and the HHKB is my Gold Standard Layout, which every other board is weighed against—or converted to, when I can!—so it's a hard, hard contest to come at the King.


Yep, the ultimate layout IMO ...

Niz? Quietly rescinds the thing I said about good taste. ;)


Lol, despite what you may have heard this particular one is actually really nice. Sliders feels smooth, stabilizers are pre-lubed, double shot caps, and soft linear-like keyfeel. However.. I definitely want that oomph of Topre's famed ...

Sounds like taste to me. The only good HHKB is a silenced HHKB, in my book, and after my second NIB experience I’m curious about those 30g domes as well. A variable weighted Realforce is no good home for them!


Oh yeah, 100%. I've been using a Niz 35g keyboard these past few months, and while I ...

Afternoon.
I'm on the lookout for some 30g Topre domes for my HHKB, as well as a full set of 90+ silent purple sliders.

Any offers would be appreciated!

First post in a while, how you doin?

I recently received a Rafi keyboard I won in an eBay auction as 'for parts or not working' and it looks to be in great condition besides a broken flip out foot. I gave the keyboard a try to see if it worked -- it turns on okay and the alpha keys, shift, space ...

Looking to buy any NMB Hi-tek keyboard in UK ISO. I own a few space invader boards but the languages are different which kind of throw me off when inputting specific characters, so an English ISO would be prefferred.
Not super bothered if it's clicky, tactile or linear, but I would lean towards ...

legit love them, not with mitsumi though

I've still been trying to figure out how I can redeem those switches lol. I think they might need a clean

So here's a dilemma I'm sure most seasoned users have experienced: Mitsumi MM switches aren't good. They're pretty scratchy and bind like hell. At that point, most people would discard it and call it a day, however there are some magic methods (shooting them up with WD-40 silicone lubricant) that ...

Selling a tactile Mitsumi KPQ-E99ZC-12, has barely been used and shows little to no signs of wear, dirt or yellowing. The tactile sleeves are a suitable candidate to 'Mitsumi mod' a BTC foam and foil keyboard, making them feel less mushy. But the keyboard itself feels decent. The layout is UK, ISO ...

What are some good keyboards with unix layouts? Currently I own an HHKB and a Sun Type 5 (but can't use it) and was wondering what others there are which are decent keyboards at the very least?

I'll give him a shout, cheers
