So sexy. SO EXPENSIVE. ;) But I know why, don't get me wrong, it's just that my NAS hard drives (6 !) are in full suicide mode these days and this expense wasn't really planned. -_- I hope to grab enough to save my FC660C but I may have to pass on the RF87 mod I was planning. :(

Do you have any "warning" system to beep potential customers like me when it's back in stock? Because I need to save my botched FC660C. :D

Got mine today (8 in total) and I'm VERY happy with them :D I'll use some colored ones on the FC660C white because the board is not REALLY white so the white spacebar is not a perfect match like on the RF. Do I care ? Noooope, I have pares in blue & red & black anyway :D

I saw people using HHKB 1 for years now without any trouble. The whole backup thing is more an excuse to buy more and have one spare for work, spilling accident, etc. It would be interesting to know the exact nature of the compound used for the domes. I just refoamed my speakers (1995...) and yep, s...

Why not Super, Meta, Hyper, by default instead of Commodore logo, Menu, and Fn? That would be more standard (for a vintage naming), and the Commodore logo could still go in the OS kit. What do you think? Don't touch that logo. :x It's the best one (and the only one I tolerate with the Amiga one. I'...

I used classic FR ISO (Azerty) for years. But my love for mechanical keyboards quickly made me switch to ANSI since ISO choice was so poor. Topre is life. :D I also mainly use Mac OS for writing / working since 2004 (PC gamer here, bred on MSX...) I decided to use the FR Azerty "mac style" on every ...

It's only useful in videogames IMHO. Where you can have to crouch faster while leaning or whatever. Latest Illuminated batch from Logitech was notorious to LOWER the NKRO so you couldn't actually do that or sprint / move forward and jump at the same time for example.
