Yes, it's true: the Germans killed the beam spring.

You're telling me if it wasn't for them I could be typing this on a brandnew and affordable beamspring keyboard?

No. You would be typing on an insanely high/thick rubber dome keyboard.

Cherry G80-3000 HFMDE, i.e. with Windiws keys, MX blue switches, doubleshot keykaps and 1.25u modifiers.

To put it simply, for programming purposes Tipro keyboards with a PS/2 controller require a computer with a 32 bit Windows version (and a native PS/2 socket), while Tipro keyboards with a USB controller require a computer with a 64 bit Windows version. Once programmed, though, all Tipro keyboards ca...

Wow. Just wow.

I'm just wondering in which language you're typing most of the time.
I suppose it won't be Spanish, as I can see no ñ. So what's the use of a ¿ key?

International shipping rates can be ridiculous these days. :-( On the other hand, shipping actually isn’t inexpensive for the carriers themselves. Not to forget the folks who deliver the stuff to our doors, and rightfuly would expect a dec...

Spammer and his post now deleted, thanks!

Whats the purpose of the operating?

The opening post has now been edited by the scammer and 3 links added. That’s the obvious purpose.

Unfortunately the seller seems to be adamant about not wanting to send it via postal service. Most probably comes with these switches: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Ericsson_RMD_973_seri...

This thread again is a simple copy and paste of a previous post (albeit with modified title):

When you see a thread opened by a brand new member,
a simple search will often reveal the steal.

I'll never understand why anybody would want to use a platform named discord.

There's nothing to be improved in MX blacks.

A Tipro MID series keyboard with a USB controller (not shown in the pics, but I asked the seller),
i.e. you can use and program it with a modern Windows computer (or swap the PS/2 controller of your existing Tipro keyboard):

This thread with its opening post is a simple copy and paste of an older thread opened by Haata years ago: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=12166 I had simply wondered how someone who registered 2 months ago and posted just twice before could have bought something from Ascaii "a number o...

I had already feared nobody would answer my rants
Thanks for your details and insights, guys.

On a related note:

I found this old Bosch keyboard at my school, looks like a mechanical but I don't really know much about it. Is it rare or just trash?

By the way, all those obscure switches (with special lube added!) people are so proud of remind me of gold faucets.

The caps are not original ones, kbdfr!

Perhaps, but ranting felt good

68g vintage blacks with krytox 103/107

Rare case + rare keycaps = ridiculous show off item.
And I’d rather not mention the box.

Blue, orange and CBS are in the lead! I'm going to register 50 accounts just so I can vote for Cherry MX Brown :P. No need, just hold this poll on Reddit or something and 99% of the votes will be for MX xD . Funny how elitist MX bashing seems to have gained ground on DT for some inexplicable reason...

A (much!) cheaper alternative in Germany: albeit with different sized modifiers and spacebar:

Have a look there (not OG, but looks close):

Exact same physical layout (winless, 1.5u modifiers, with ISO-DE), US seller:
