I know about that thanks anyway!

Hello fella's,

I have a numpad here I found in the bin.
The cable was ripped out :cry: and now I'm trying to fix it.

I seem to have a problem with identifying the connector on the PCB.
Does anyone know what the letters mean which you can see on the image below?

Also, is there any way to check ...

You guys, delaying the deadline is bad for my wallet...

Please add this to my order if it's still available http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2734471477
I hope this doesn't change the seperate shipping to Belgium? Paranoid, Tinlong, can you guys confirm?

I'm sorry if I caused some confusion with my english.

Matt3o, basically, you can put my order under Paranoid's name.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Halvar for the time you want to put in this BUT.......

That Cherry MX3700 is MINE!!!

Thank you Matt3o for the explanation.

I'll try to arrange something with Paranoid so we can make the shipping less expensive for us.
Do you happen to know when the deadline ends for this GB?
Maybe I'll order some extra stuff to lower the value/shipping ratio.

So I order the Cherry numpad, but because it's more expensive than the keyboards someone else orders, I have to pay more shipping? (The shipping is divided by price, not weight?)

If that's correct, that doesn't seem fair..

Depending on the shipping cost, I call dibs on this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2645976247

I bought the caps from this shop, the seller is called Imsto.
Just pm him if you need information.

I don't know if he has ISO sets available, but I do know you get a stepped capslock with the set, I don't think it's center stemmed though.
I can't check it for you because I'm in another country atm ...

how much did you pay for the caps?

I paid €45 which included €10 shipping. So for €35 I got a nice thick PBT 84 keycaps set.
Also, I asked Imsto to put a price of €20 on the package so I could avoid paying customs.
He's a nice guy, only the language barrier can be a bit difficult.

If you're ...

Thank you!

It's funny to see my colleagues try to type on it when they want to show me something.

Well, you shall have to act quick if you want it, because I'll be leaving for Portugal in a week, for 3 months.

The connection looks like this, I believe it's a mini-8 connector.

Hey there Paranoid,

I may have found something interesting for you.
It's the numpad which seems to be an accessory for your Toshiba T3100!

Meh, nothing to do about it, I'll just try to make it pretty again.

They're ALPS, shit alps, throw that shit away again.

Why would I throw this lovely board away, the switches aren't that bad, I also like the layout.
Maybe I'll try to solder in some different switches, I hope the pins of other Alps switches match.

And you rips of complete switches? You need a ...

Today was a good day, I went to a second hand store, but didn't find an interesting board in the store.
But I did something naughty..

At the back of the store, there are some containers with stuff in it which the people who work there think is broken and is ready for the trash. It's off limits for ...

I just think it wouldn't be too much to add something a bit thicker for the bottom, to absorb shocks.

I was thinking of that to, but as it is made for the purpose of an extra protective layer in my backpack, and it's always gonna rest on it's side inside the backpack, I decided not to put ...

You forgot to thank bpiphany :)

Edited, thanks for letting me know. He did an awesome job on the controller!

Seems a bit long for that purpose. :D

Well, I thought it would look better to have a longer stub so you could see how the cable looks when not plugged in.
It's a perfect fit in my ...

Just wanted to share this piece of craftmanship with you lovely folk.
It's a custom keyboardbag, perfect fit for a Filco TKL!

I needed a nice keyboardbag for my internship, as I will be taking my Filco with me to work and take it back home with me everyday.
I will ...

Just wanted to share my precious clickityclack with you lovely folk.

It's a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with MX Blue switches, Imsto "thick" PBT blank dark grey keycaps and a custom made Paranoid charcoal grey cable.

Pardon my lack of 'taking pictures' skill. :oops:
