Re: Lighter Model F Spacebar - The no-disassembly Ghetto Mod

For my AT I used some foam off ebay . A little pricey compared to just buying foam, but I didn't have to use any mental capacity figuring out which foam to buy or spend time cutting holes, which was nice. No chattering whatsoever. I'll look into those premade foams. Thx! I'll say one thing, though:...

Re: Lighter Model F Spacebar - The no-disassembly Ghetto Mod

Very elegant solution! I wouldn't have thought of that. IMO the best method yet, as some people seem to have damaged the wire while lightening it. I'll definitely try this on my F. While we're at it: Does somebody know from experience what replacement foam works best in an AT or XT? There are countl...

Re: Total Destruction Suggestions Requested

Maybe snap the PCB in half? That might be enough for the seller, and you can salvage the switches and caps.

Re: Coiled telephone style cables: Yay or nay?

Same here. The curls always get stuck between my desk and the wall and then I have to pull the cable back out. Also, "custom coiled cables" people buy only to place them on their desks in a way that doesn't even make use of it are stupid IMO.

The stabilizer parts themselves are all plastic, I just thought that maybe with a lot of keypresses some lube could get onto the plate

Re: Lubing rod stabilizers?

Alps themselves lubed these from the factory, something thin and light from the looks of it. I don't have any recommendations for lube type. Another option is getting a very light (thing 5 grams) spring to go around the rod. This is how brother typewriters handle their rod stabilizers and I feel it...

The rod stabilizer on my left shift key is a bit sluggish when I press it on the left edge, I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible to lube the rod/inside of the keycap with grease or something?
