Re: Does Your Ideal Mouse Exist?

It really doesn't : I want at least 5 buttons (although more would be overkill). I need a small / midsized mouse because I can't change my fingertip grip habit (current mouse is a battered MX400) I insist on it being PS/2 compatible (because -probably bad- reasons). I would like it to look clean, no...

Re: Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

Hello mechaheads ! A good friend of mine who got an Ergodox Ez a while ago finally admitted that he was nowhere near patient enough to configure and learn to use it. It's just not for him and he now wants to sell it. He used it for the best of an afternoon, after which he put it in a drawer swearing...

Oh cheers. I thought it was one of the late models built by Cherry. I'm tempted to grab it just to get a feel.

[Leboncoin] IBM Model M + adaptateur - 20€

Peut-être une erreur puisque le vendeur a l'air de savoir ce qu'il vend, mais pour 20 euros, ça se vérifie facilement.

[Leboncoin] IBM Model M2 - 7€

Excellent prix pour ce qui me semble tout à fait être un Model M2 (j'en ai déjà eu un, donc je suis a peu près certain) dans le Lot et Garonne. Pas le meilleur IBM qui soit mais 7 euros pour un blucking spring comme ça, c'est cool

Hey 7bit, I'll be likely out of town from 18/7 to 1/8. Can I ask you to not ship my caps during that period. I'd hate to have the parcel sent back by my post office. My invoice is #0129. Thanks!

I don't know anymore. Gmail tells me I first placed my Round 5 order on November 26, 2013, which I find difficult to believe, but hey, this is my first GB after all.

My hope now is to get those caps before the end of 2015. I'm not even kidding.

Oui ça parait bizarre, mais c'est un peu idiot de sa part si c'est le cas. S'il fait ça c'est qu'il entend attirer des gens qui connaissent un peu leur affaire et qui donc l'enverront bouler si au final c'est du pipeau.
