YES, RAMA Works is an ideal company to buy from in 2020. Well worth the money and products they are making and selling. well... that went from "keyboarding clowns" to "ideal company" very quickly... … perhaps even a bit too quickly: […] now am waiting for their sorting and delivery. […]

[…] Its crazy the things you cannot do now. I mean you can barely wipe your arse now without being told your a sexist racist bigot transphobe for wiping your arse wrong. On the other hand, there are plenty of things you can do today which you could not before. Like fohat, I am old enough to have ex...

This is a sad example of a very, very rare keyboard having obviously been butchered for its vintage black switches. It has the same layout as what in the wiki I called the " first generation" G80-2100 , i.e. with the Cherry key in the programming block itself (instead of in the cursor block like in ...

Even if in your price check thread I said I couldn't give an estimate,
I would concur that particularly given its US layout, a $150 price tag seems reasonable.for your keyboard.

According to the Cherry documentation , the G80-0777 is the US version, while the G80-0778 is the German version (and the G80-0779 the French version). There is also a similar version ( G80-0832 ) with dedicated keycaps made for the engraving machine manufacturer Gravograph, and also a rack mount ve...

Quite Siemens style keycaps, 30€ still okay.

30€ is the price for the Desko keyboard. Do you have an opinion on that one ?

If its cherry MX black, then definitely worth it...

As it has lasered caps (recognizable by the bars on the F and J keys), it will most certainly have MY switches.

To be precise, while on Cherry 1800 keyboards with doubleshot keycaps (H…, as indicated by dogmantime) the Windows and Menu keys are pad printed (and superbly coated), the 1.75u Right Shift is doubleshot. The only other source for a doubleshot 1.75u Right Shift I am aware of was Wodan's HADapter set...

I think I got it: Chyros is entitled to criticize a keyboard, even in vulgar terms (from 0:43 thru 12:44 of 16:19) but one is not entitled to criticize Chyros, even in polite terms. The misspelled "warning" at the beginning warns against he keyboard itself and thus is in fact a teaser, but one then ...

Why in the fuck are you still watching anyway? xD Why [not a friend of expletives, I am fond of real language] don’t you read my posts? I think the swearing and the hate on special-needs keyboards has gone a bit out of hand. It's not interesting and it's not entertaining. I wouldn't have opened the...

[…] I don't get why with the billion 3x4 macropads out there, nobody's doing a 2x6 explicitly designed to bolt to the left side of a keyboard, or a 2x12 to sit on top, so you can convert an ordinary 101/103/104 to something close to a MCK-142 or Omnikey Ultra.

Considering using vintage blacks instead of MX silent blacks - but does anyone know how to make the vintage blacks as silent as the "silent blacks?" Or is that too much of a project? I'm after the best, most silent, linear switch with actuation force between 60 & 80. I will also be reducing the act...

By the way, I have a Braille keyboard. It weighs a ton, has Cherry MX blacks, some keys in rather odd locations and whole rows of small metallic needles protruding out of the case beneath the keys on the whole width of the board. Braille keyboard.jpg Anybody interested in finding it absolutely terri...

[…] Also, I should hire you to proofread my thesis in a few months time.

Proofreading is part of what I do for a living, but I'm afraid my quotes are way north of what you can afford as a student,
especially if you collect keyboards

I have no idea which switches this comes with, but it looks interesting: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/aeg-olympia-competence-drucker-tastatur/1412923294-168-18652 The switches may be some kind of mx mount dome with slider but don't quote me on that... Agree. https://deskthority.net/v...

I think the swearing and the hate on special-needs keyboards has gone a bit out of hand. It's not interesting and it's not entertaining. I wouldn't have opened the video without this comment. And to be honest, I stopped watching some time after the flurry of impecations (at ~1:18 of 16:19) coming s...

Got my second Model M13 today! It came in pretty great condition and with a still-wrapped manual. SNKB-M1995EP101.jpg "pretty good", that looks mint! Nice find :D The original did not read " pretty good ", but " pretty great ". One may find it to be an insignificant difference, and in such a contex...

I just can’t believe The Demongolator hasn’t posted in more than 3 years.
Looks like it’s time for him to step in again

holy shit guys, can you all stop trying to win this pointlessly long argument already? especially on other people's posts, there is no need to pollute all of deskthority. You may not know yet, but this is offtopicthority , where derainling threads is quite normal while fulling the spy with bumps is...

Seriously, only a tiny minority of users would consider repairing a keyboard. It requires having a clue about exactly what is defective, knowing how t...

[…] A Cherry MY keyboard is insufferable, whether or not you've tried anything else in the mech world.[…] You think so, I think so, my LP thinks otherwise (even if she admits MX is somewhat better). She’s a professional typist, by the way. And she would never even try to open a malfunctioning keybo...

I always thought the " fatal flaw " were breaking rivets, which however … If it can be fixed (and routinely is) and have the keyboard back into service for three more decades, it can't be thought of as a "fatal flaw", can it? :roll: For the average user (lacking not only modding skills and interest...

I always thought the "fatal flaw" were breaking rivets, which however
i) have proven to not be detrimental to the reputation of certain keyboards and
ii) Cherry does not feature anyway.

IMG_20200514_193701.jpg Hello folks, this keyboard is the reason I registered, i just wanna know more about it, its merits and how to do it justice. I recently got into thrifting for old hardware and build myself a windows 98 PC, so i can tinker a bit with old hardware and games. Ofc the PC is turn...

Hello everyone, just looking for some info if anyone has it for this board bought a while ago. I know who makes it, just can't find anything on it. I can take more pics if anyone needs them but this was made by Access Keyboards. Welcome on DT. As you know the manufacturer, perhaps you should simply...

I won't join such a GB because I absolutely hate WoB
(be it on my screen or on my keyboard, luckily books still are BoW by standard),
but I'm absolutely joining photekq in his praise of A-profile
(aka R5 - which by the way is a silly way of counting rows).

If the board is dead anyway, there's still one thing you could try:
simply cleaning the PCB (including[!] the switches) the way 7bit successfully did with his Tipro boards:
