Drop's CTRLs are definitely built well but they're TKLs, sadly. If Drop's CTRL (or actually any keyboard of theirs) are a good point of reference for you, build wise, and you are open to MX switches, there are some better options for you, even when you want a full size keyboard. QK100 might be big ...

Anyone know what this board is lol. Got unnecessarily wrecked by this dude HeQ8Kk2B0hs Why do people watch this stuff? :? https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=14220 :( They're a good board if you have the desk space to accommodate. Not an exact match but very close, inlcuding the MX clears etc. ...

That "Honeywell" Rubberdome feels meh but it's fun for a while when you activate the "clicker" via the 2nd switch.
Blue ALPS in a Black Chassis with Black keys seems like a good deal though, nice!

Can not be unseen now.

I must chime in on this one since it's basically the origin of my username: Schorle , internationally mostly known as Spritzer , is a mix of carbonated water and juice. It's refreshing and comes in as many different flavours as there are juices and juice-mix-combinations in the world. While Apfelsch...

Title, basically. Let's celebrate! Exactly a decade ago a user with the palindrome name Muirium registered on Deskthority.net. Since, he humors us, shows his affection for the minuscule My and recently even cleans up this place he seemingly has grown fond of. To mark the step towards his first decad...

I have a similar one of these with orange RAFI too but in a far less complete condition, keycaps wise. I was confused by the weird numbering row but when I saw the offer ZeFritz is referring to I understood it is for dental purposes. AFAIK from testing my one and assuming it has the same protocoll t...

PM'd about those HAD

That filth is gorgeous!
I have a boringly filthy picture of those same keycaps and I can confirm mine are for (Key Tronic) Foam and Foil:


Regarding the different Switch, or rather different Slider format, maybe yours is some kind if clicky version?

I found the video I was referring to and will edit that as well, because like Muirium and I initially said common MX keycaps are compatible with both Cherry type and original costar type stabs - just not those weird costar like ones found on the boards i mentioned above. Regarding your keycap dilemm...

[...] what is your opinion on Cherry MY? Have you ever used it? If so what were your thoughts. Do you agree that it is an unholy abomination that feels akin to typing on the corpse of a baby seal. [...] Terrible, yes, terrible, yes. (And yes, this includes vintage black MY switches ... this term sh...

[...] I [..] want to update info cards for appropriate keyboards ({{infobox dkeyboard}}), but not sure what will be the best field to put this info in. Should it be a new field (e.g. "keycap printing") or existing (e.g. "features") field? the above mentioned issue or rather non straight forward cha...

[...] will any MX cap set take either type of stabilizers? Mostly yes, but it depends. I have seen Backspaces and Numpad_+ caps for MX Switches that are in theory MX compatible but only have one mount post for the switch and no mounting option for any stabilizer. Those work but are obviously not as...

If you don't use RGB anyway you might be better of to make sure to turn off the LED. LED don't have much power but I remember a very discolored alluminium case from not turning off underglow LED and I don't know if Switches not made for SMD dissipate the otherwise neglectable heat from LED too badly...

My MX Clears came with 3 pins (I don't know if there are 5 pin variants), the keychron Q1 supports both 3 pin and 5 pin switches for hot-swap. Actually, anything that supports 5 pin also supports 3 pin. 5 pin is more stable though, which I personally only care for in hot-swap but 3 pin hot-swap shou...

Elaborate on your GB definition, please. Do you just want to reach 200$+ to save on shipping and FedEx fee (12,50€) or are you looking for a better deal? (I don't think Zeal does that but that's just my unfounded gut) Otherwise you might consider opening the "GB" to anything from ZealPC not just the...

Did you also shake the sliders in a closed jar with the hot water and paraffin or just stir?
Your end result sounds great, gj!

Sorry for the broken keys.
Why not use your old thread for updates though, or at least link to it here so they are at least somewhat connected?

I think it's fair game to try to mod your 3000N first but some boards are too far gone and can't be saved economically - at least that was my conclusion with my rabbit whole starter Qisan magicforce 69. If a used one off ebay / EKA is an option for you voiding the warranty might be easier. Also you ...

I was curious about the Model A as well, how it holds up against other better rubbber domes etc. In the end I had to accept that I am too parsimonious to have another rubber dome board lying around and taking up my space, especially when overpriced like in this listing.

International / NorDe (I mostly just care for German though) Alp Keycaps would be pretty lit, I agree.

This Cubic profile doesn't suit me either, the font looks off and I fear the edge is too sharp so I'd get stuck on it while tpying - OG Cherry and DCS have nice radii imho.

no desoldering needed, probably can even pull the clicker without even pulling the stem - haven't tried that yet though.
Be advised, reverting linear SI to clicky is not as straight forward as some might have you believe.

Yeah, "Something" definately triggered him big time ... I also got a PM from him that'd warrant legal actions against him. For someone who chose an insultfull name for himself he clearly didn't like being called a name ... but didn't shy away from insulting others.

You must have made a mistake! ... to quote a customer I had the pleasure talking to. I understand where you are coming from, especially with high praised switches that have such an absurd range of condition they can be in, it's hard to know wether it's the switches fault for being a bad bunch, your...

I know what you mean when you fear all MX boards ping annoyingly. If I hadn't come from a corsair one I might have aboarded the ship after my short meeting with a Qisan MagicForce 69. The gateron reds felt nice but the plate kept resonating on specific key presses. Gladly not all MX boards are build...

Also bear in mind that two-piece caps will need to be far too thin for double shot. I wouldn't generalize that, for most doubleshot keycaps the DS part is the top face that the legend is on. If we are open to increase the overall height of the switch (see SA or other vintage looking profiles) Doubl...

Date Code Guess: Wednesday, May 19th, 1993
Those Caps are outstanding indeed, great find!

IIRC someone called Fujitsu Peerless the poor mans Model M. I don't really agree but they are affordable enough you might be able to try them out without setting you back a lot. If you are after the tactile event the afore mentioned omnikey and zenith do look the vintage part and can be modded to su...

I hope this turns out as good as it's coming along so far, great work!

hmm, that makes sense, could I use your message as a source in my thesis?

Feel free to do implement my little theory-thought but as CaesarAZealad stated it's probably not source worthy for a thesis.
