Are not both the above posts easy to get ??

I voted for ANSI. I used ISO for a long time but ANSI is simply better and more ergonomic, with easier to reach Enter and left Shift. I highly recommend you folks give ANSI an honest try, you are missing out both in ergonomics and in keyboard selection! I have more ANSI boards than ISO, and expect ...

Which leads me to black switches. I will be typing a lot for school, and I have heard nasty rumors about fatigue when typing long things on black switches. But could these anecdotes be over-exaggerated? If I recall, black switches have a similar actuation force as a buckling spring, but you don't s...

Last month I got a Devlin bank note tellers keyboard which has a Poker layout keyboard but in ISO style (i.e. real size transmit key) thick cherry 2shots and brown switches and an alu case. But its been lost by the post ...gutted. It was going to need some work as the case had a card reader and key/...

I thought I had posted this in this thread before...

I have older versions of all the Tipro software (DOS win9x 2k etc.),
I cant remember the versions off hand but the CD's are from 2001.
When I get to them I will upload somewhere if still wanted.

One of my old irons cant cut it anymore with the new ROHS (think thats the right order for the letters) stuff. Great with my old lead laden stuff I have loads of. Be careful with the time if you have to leave it on there for a while, in case you transfer too much heat to other things Led's should be...

so is there a way to add a key there to ANSI-layout? sacrificing some other key maybe? No need to sacrifice anything controllers are (usually) the same, so the missing 105th key is just a missing coordinate in the keyboard's matrix.[/quote] So most of the controllers are the same ? I have been goin...

Am I still stitt in with a chance for a set ?
as I said before dont care if they have shine as I just want them to use
cheers

That viglen I got has Montereys. I also dont think my oranges (if they are) are in very good nick because the above post seems to say what I think. There is loads of side to side and the home row is very different to the F keys, but its got 2 shots. The board was covered with an inch of dust and I g...

Thats what I am after as well

How can you tell where it is on your desk ?

Must admit when I first read about the camo filco I thought great one I dont have to add to the collection,
but TBH it looks much better than I would have guessed.
That might just be down to the group one 2shots

I would like at least one set, cheers. ...and in your first post you say about broken stems, does that mean that you have sets that are short of keys ? I have a board that got damaged and lost a number of keys and switches and would be happy to take a short set off your hands depending on what you w...

The pokers we got in group buy 1 look different from the ones iMav got and the ones poker originally distributed. I don't know why, I never ordered anything different. I am gutted that I lost out on the first round, but thats another story and if poss would still like to get hold of one of these. B...

Well after quite a few days trying and getting nothing I got to log in first time and post a reply, and even preview the post a few times.
This box had been down and not long back up ...well a quick check says 27 hours.
Lets hope its sorted.

My orange ALPS are are clicky and tactile, not in any way strong, but quite light, IIRC, been a while since I looked at them. But they dont look as bright as the ones in that link, I thought they were called salmon ??? ALPS fun. I have not long got another Viglen board (great big thing) that with th...

This might go thru or might not....
I am getting the same again trying to reply to a thread

I think I have it sorted. But TBH I cant say 100% what fixed it, as I have cleared the cache and cookies more times than I can count. The problem was across quite a few boxes so not down to one browser even though I only really use Firefox/Palemoon (same ish code). The *nix boxes were just the lates...

Today is the first time I have been able to log in and not keep going round in a loop being asked to log in again and again, since ...well when ever I last posted. But there still seem to be a problem because it will sit there fine, but if I try to post anything as soon as I preview, or submit it se...

You mean let people in ! ...whats that all about ?

You can use it with one hand, and no hammer.

Goes with a slide hammer and slim jim for any jamjar blagger

Make sure you turn it right down before you use one on plastic or PCB.

All depends on the cost, ...and if you want to let it go.
Its also a shame as I think I was down your way last week.

I dont have any boards with Clears and apart from reds (which I dont think are so great and will not be getting unless they fall in my lap) they are the only Cherry switch I dont have, but am interested in trying.

That said I dont have a Deck in my collection ...

I anticipate lots of posts like this in the next couple of days as everyone gets to the 10 post limit: [...BS...] I have always thought it should be a word count thing ...as I often have low post counts on boards, but expect the number of words could be quite great. I also thing because I learnt ho...

After using the Ducky for a few days now, and basically I feel the same way about it as I did the Filcos. Great 'board, but could use different caps. In reality, though, the caps aren't so bad, but I would prefer different legending. [...] I really like mine. I dont see the problems that others see...

Put me down for one
English/UK Brown switches

I want to do some more reading up on this as I have been away and only just seen it...
but as I like smaller boards and want another Brown switched board I can see there being a problem

I thought it was more about what does not cause any pain == the best place. I have always found that my keyboards end up at an angle to the front of the desk. With the right hand side about twice as far from me as the left, I always thought that was because I never really move my left hand but do so...

All I can say is that I have never had the problem I read that others do with Cherry blacks, That said all of mine are older NIB ones. The only newer black switched one I have used a new'ish board of someone elses and did not like it so much but IMO I thought that was more down to the state of the b...

Another vote for the UK,
but then I might have to leave the house ...whats that about ?

I have been waiting for one of these, but TBH what put up against the Filco,
I am not such a fan of the curved front.

Nice, one way to get me to join
