Re: Does anyone still make keyboards with build quality comparable to a Model F or even an M?
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 ...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
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!

Re: What is this Double Shot Keycap?
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?

Re: MX Clear Pins
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...

Re: Looking for a full-sized keyboard with ISO-DE layout and media keys (and silent red switches)
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.

Re: [GB] Tai-Hao White on Black and Vintage Alps
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.

Re: Vintage looking 60% keyboard case
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.

Re: What choices are there for printed black keycaps for the model M are there?
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...
