You think in weird categories. Just replace "ripster" with "Goebbels" and "Russians" with "Jews", it will fit.

Lafayette helped you in the first place. You should thank the French.

I have received mine today: No cables and 1 missing clear keytop per unit. The "new" version keycaps are used on the modules, but still the old keycap version is completely compatible. Beside thees little problems the modules are working flawless :D Btw. does someone know where I get the Tipro join...

Sure. Vietnam too was not devastated in two weeks. It took years.
But of course, that might have been because such a care was taken to avoid any harm to civil populations.

How about keys with mirror-inverted letters?

kann jeder das Wiki erweitern? ich würde gerne mal Tipro als Hersteller aufnehmen, aber kA wie ich das machen soll ;) Du musst dich im wiki extra einloggen, dann hast du auch einen "Edit"-Tab in der oberen Leiste und kannst loslegen.

I love this thread!

It's a real thrill to see what colours are being proposed here. Not that I myself could imagine typing on anything else than a keyboard with a beige case and beige keycaps lettered deep black, but everybody is so enthusiastic here

I can hear hundreds of keyboards being turned around to check their serial numbers

But... I can beat that.


Not shopped. G81-1800HKNDE (1996)

That's what happens when you retr0brighte using the wrong chemicals: the case darkens and the label loses its printing

Of course there are cases where you can imagine why any number is missing:

It leaves room for creativity:

The box says H31. That would be around July/August 1995.

My new old NIB Cherry keyboard has a blank label. I'm baffled.

Bought a keyboard on eBay. Turns out the keyboard roof which came with it might be worth more than the keyboard itself :mrgreen: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/576/keyboardroof.jpg (...)

[Prelude] Even if this function seems not to be documented, it is possible to program a Tipro keyboard on-the-fly like you do a G80-2100.

Hard.

Evidence.

Have to admit, this guy seems to be frustrating your guys efforts. Have you thought of using US Navy Seals?

Yawn...

Haes, that's a great review. I still can feel the switches under my fingers when reading it and, well, even if I have a completely different evaluation particularly of blues, I can understand how you judge all these switches for your own purposes. And let me second you: I want to take the oppertunit...

I'd like to join in the bashing session, but for other reasons

Just got the switches. Highly professional case (thanks a lot upwards), containing 5 boards with 4 switches each. There’s also a list, stating which switches are on which board, I put it away without looking at it, this will be a blind testing. First of all, I must say my experience hitherto has bee...

It's on the photo. Under the roof.

I love how one of the home row keys doesn't even deserve space on the graph... That may be right for English.

The ASCII table allows you to type nearly any character without having to program anything (or even having any dedicated software). It could virtually allow to type any text with a keyboard consisting of just an Alt key and a number pad (that, by the way, would be a REAL space saver). I thought this...

Press and hold the Alt key, press the ASCII number code of the required sign on the numpad and then release the Alt key, the sign will appear.
ASCII code is 60 for "<" and 62 for ">"

You have no number pad? Oh....

Ich bin dabei

Merci pour la traduction, Gilgam, super.

I use something similar and am very satisfied with it, apart from the terrible hard to cklick mouse buttons which I don't use.
