I bought them from Candykeys.

Here is something new: I have put caps on five White Owls and on five BOX Red V2 and let them lying around for a day. I didn’t install them on a keyboard and I didn’t type on them. Each set of five caps comprised these: one Tai-Hao Smoky Quartz, doubleshot ABS two transparent Nonames from a Kailh Bo...

The first set wasn't called "indecent". They're just of totally unknown quality on an extremely obscure board. The board itself really won’t affect the caps’ stems, and as I said, the caps were not damaged by any other switch. You may doubt their quality, but they’re simply Cherry compatible caps m...

The reason nobody addressed your question is that nobody agrees with the premise that lead you to ask it. Ah, yes. Naturally … You linked posts from before the stems were even fixed Oh really? As response to the issues, Kaihua revised the switch to the narrower specification of 1.30±0.02mm. Switche...

You're so close to understanding the issue with the caps here. You have actually managed to get even more remote from understanding anything, to get even more off topic. My question isn’t about why the stems on my caps are damaged. If you’re sure we all know nothing and are just a bunch of jokers, ...

Regarding the left one: Look closely. There is a white mark on the stem, even bigger than the mark one stem of the right one. I didn’t check all caps, but I noticed cracks on many of them. What reason would I have to discredit BOX switches? And I am clearly not the only one reporting damaged caps. S...

Sorry, but this is really ridiculous. I am asking about White Owls, Glazed Greens and so on, and you want to see pictures of my key caps, because you don’t believe they were damaged by BOX Whites. What has one got to do with the other? If you want to mock someone, go play with children. I have no re...

Thanks! At least one person doesn’t seem to be thinking that I am either hallucinating or lying.

And then you tell me you if know if other BOX switches are any different?

I can make some. But honestly, is that really so hard to believe?

Cool. Very helpful. Thank you very much.

So they’re not really damaged?

I must be just imagining my caps being damaged, then, I guess. Is that what you are trying to say?

I completely forgot one thing: I have been using BOX Whites on a GMMK with TaiHao Smokeys and BOX Pinks on a Keychron Q0 with Smokeys, both for at least a year now. Those caps are damaged, too. The Cherry MX Blues on the LK20 didn’t damage the caps, the Gateron Blues on the Q0 didn’t damage its caps...

It’s a Lioncast LK20. I guess it was around 90€ in Germany. It’s a solid TKL with a steel plate and a real case with a bit of volume. Isn’t it a known fact, that the retooled BOX switches can still kill caps? That’s why there is the cruciformer (← ?) and that other thing, used to shave a bit of plas...

I have Whites with new stem. They damaged the stock caps of my LK20.

Hi,

as despite having a retooled stem BOX Whites still stretch and crack keycaps, I wonder: Do Glazed Greens, White Owls or White V2s do that, too?

How did it go? Did you get some? If yes, do you like them? I have white and blue Alps in the same keyboard, the Whites being very early ones, I think, and I still like them much less then the Blues.

I completely forgot about this after nobody responded for a while. I haven’t defined a GB, it would depend on what participants are interested in. A German dealer told me they are going to order Clickiez, and since I don’t have much time to tinker with keyboards at the moment, I think I’ll wait a fe...

Cool, thanks! There doesn’t seem to be much activity in that project, but the firmware looks promising.

Ah, yeah, thanks. I completely forgot that the chip doesn’t have to be on the PCB (I know that the brains are not in the PCB ;)). On the other hand, the idea for a new PCB came to me when I thought that I would like to change the numpad layout. So, is there no way to build one’s own dynamically prog...

Hi, I am using an AEK2 (ISO German) every day, and I like the extra key on the Numpad. As I have to use a converter (Teensy with tmk in my case) I remapped that key to “.”. That way I have “.” and “,” and “:” on the Numpad, which comes in really handy. I used tmk to use the two Command keys (they’re...

I have an AEK II with Alps dampened Cream switches. The were a bit scratchy, too, when I got it. I open them all, cleaned them on the inside and treated the stems with Klüber universal lubricating wax. That stuff made the switches much smoother. I only have a free sample, with no information on it e...

I was just about to fill out the form for the ISO Enter key, when I saw, that there is only one option for 99$, which is for an entire key set, if I am not mistaken. I ordered a certain serial number, but as I understand your latest blog post, my order will go out rather late anyway, because I order...

Hi, would anybody in Germany be interested in a group buy of ZealPC Clickiez ? I would like to try them out, but I think they are a bit too tactile for my taste, so I would only get 10 or 20 pieces. I think, it should be possible to include other items in a group buy. Shipping is free worldwide for ...

I am looking into making a mold for the ISO Enter key (currently we are using Unicomp keys for this key as noted before, and they cannot make the additional colors for black and for gray and blue to match my project's key colors). This would allow for key sets with ISO Enter to be made in additiona...

Coming to think about the boxes: When someone orders a keyboard plus some or many extras, how is all that being shipped? One big box containing the keyboard box and the extras?

I'm ready to wait +1 or 2 weeks

Same here.

Are there any news regarding the packaging (box only or wrap)?

Would ordering a low serial number make an F77 with non-english layout ship earlier than any other serial number?
