Would be great if there are some colored space bars!

kailh box if you are talking about something clicky and tactile that is still in production.

really wish razer can come up with more layout

for anyone in germany, I believe this keyboard will have micro switch SC switches: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/robuste-itt-din-tastatur-701552-003-kult-xt-at-rar-retro-keyboard/94967854-225-1781?ref=search my reasoning is the keycaps are very similar to https://deskthority.net/wiki/...

Wow, this is the most detailed review I have ever read about keyboard (or maybe anything actually), really nice work!

The layout is the killer for me, afaik no OG F has Unix layout which many people are fond of.

For home, reproduction F62. Wouldn't mind a F122 after getting a larger desk lol

Still remember this?

I won't say either M or F is superior, they are... different. Repro f has a very light typing feel(lighter than most og model f) which I enjoy a lot, but some people may find it too light. I still find myself enjoy model M even my daily is a Repro F.

For switches, about one or two days, a weird layout will definitely take much longer to get used to.

Sounds great!

Drop is selling taihao dolch and wob right now for around 40 usd a set, pretty good value imo. For vintage stuff, many chiconies, apples are dissembled for their switches, however, trying to find matching caps for rarer ones will be very hard if not next to impossible.

I consider myself a "Topre enthusiast" but unfortunately my dome(or sleeve in some cases) keyboard experience is limited to low profile ITW magvalve, Topre, Mitsumi, and Libertouch. Purely subjective ranking for the switches I owned: Libertouch, Topre standard 45g with standard, Topre RGB 45g, Topre...

1. The quietest switch I have used is libertouch, but it is not linear and by some standards isn't even a mechanical switch. Linear mattias is very quiet for a "mechanical' switch but not as quiet. 2. Kailh choc and Cherry ML are the most common ones, there are a whole slew of others tho like Topre ...

Well, AFAIK Libertouch is never sold outside of Japan lol so it's understandable that there is almost no review in English. I got most of my Japanese stuff like Juki, BFK, Libertouch, etc. from yahoo auction. Yahoo auction? I'll have to have a look. Though, from what I understand about BFK pricing,...

I will use this thread as a reminder to exercise more lmao

Personally, I feel like stock topre 45g was beaten by libertouch from a typing perspective completely... However, libertouch is based on membrane tho so only 3KRO. The greatest thing about the BFK is that the numpad can be configured to the left Interesting that you hold the Libretouch in such high...

I hate keyboard pirating and wouldn't mind selling my not yet converted proprietary keyboard to someone with the system with a fraction of the price lol

I still insist that I'm NOT a collector and just enjoy repairing old keyboards. It was only a few weeks ago when I first started being interested in old keyboards. I started this thread shortly after. I fear now I that I unconsciously fallen into the latter category... epson bfk My goodness! I've o...

There you go, Philips Torsion Spring, it has been on my to try list for a long time lol. Only saw a destroyed one once.

I was pretty addicted to headphones and pens before I got into keebs. Now I almost use sony mdr-f1 exclusively at home since it is probably the most comfortable thing ever designed and has 'enough' sound quality.

Well, it's just a generic mx brown prebuilt, so if you like the switch and the look why not

Simple answer: Way too many. Ok, let me count: new f62, epson bfk, rf rgb, variable weight, rf 30g, rf 45g tkl, short throw(two actually), jdl, juki, hhkb jp, sharp 68k, libertouch, chicony, 5576 001, a01, dell model m, 3178... there are a few more not in my hand so... Seriously considering selling ...
