Cool thanks. I wouldn't be surprised if elitekeyboards started stocking them before long.

Interesting, how much did you end up paying? Was it significantly less than a HHKB?

Directly to the left is my tower in a black Antec P180 case, and to the right is the XT and the stereo, of which are currently under books, papers, camera, etc.

This... This is what a real desk looks like...

Afraid not - no ADB either.

No Ethernet either which was a bit of a shock.

Been away for a little while.

I've got all minimalist and non-mechanical...
Macbook Pro Retina 13"; I'm slowly getting used to how little the keys travel on these newer, thinner macbooks.

HHKB all the way...

I nearly choked on my bacon sandwich laughing at that.

I thought as much!

Isn't suka 3D printing his own cases?

Impressive as always. They look pretty light weight, don't they move around a lot on the desk?

Backspace and right shift ruins the ANSI layout for me .

First ever model M I bought had a speaker - it was NIB as well.

Wow 2 years, time flies. I visit several times a day but my posting has slowed down since I've been too skint to buy any new keyboards.

ALPS don't seem to fair as well as MX with use over time - that's kind of a turn off.

Are they white rubber dampened ALPS? I used to LOVE orange ALPS.

I think a lot of this "topre don't last very long" is down to that silly thread on GH which measured a couple of HHKBs (using a questionable measurement procedure), performed now formal analysis and then generalized to the whole population of topre keyboards everywhere. Annoyingly, I'm sure this thr...

Remember 86u is 30-40-45g. 87u is 35-40-45g. It makes quite a difference. Hmmm, I was always under the impression that even though they marked the pinkies at 30, they were in fact 35. Just like the 87U, EK say in the advert that the pinkies are 30; the 87U anniversary that I had even marked the pin...

I had a 86U that I used quite a lot for just under a year. I thought it felt great, but when I bought another variable 87U and tried that the difference was night and day. I thought that the used 86U was significantly less tactile than the 87U. To be honest, since feeling how much difference I felt ...

You didn't get on with it then?

Just wondering, does anyone type any faster with the Kinesis, ergoDox, or anything of that shape? You'll type fast on any layout that you've gotten used to. This is more of a comfort/ergonomic thing (thumb clusters etc...). I guess you could argue that you might be able to type faster because its l...

I have no idea what's going on here anymore. There's a group buy happening at Massdrop ... ... ... To summarize a little differently: From a practical standpoint, we have: 7bit might organize a group buy later; if he does it will be more configurable and less expensive, but take much longer to ship...

I have no idea what's going on here anymore.

Hmmm, you'll not be able to fix that. Are you going to keep it or send it back? You could ask him for some money off given the shitty nature of his shipping...

Arrrrh, that's annoying.

Sorry, I can't think of anyone that has done this.

I know that Maltron have?

Maybe worth giving them a call, you never know, they might be able to give you some answers?

That's a lovely looking keyboard fossala! As temping and as good looking as it is, I think I'll pass, I haven't really got a use for it!

It should be really easy to just swap the innards of the switch out with what you want. 1. Pop the switch out; not difficult. 2. Remove the 4 clips holding the top to the bottom of the switch to the bottom. 3. Replace inside and put back together. So you did this without having to remove the wire o...

I 100% agree with this!

I tried it on a couple of the switches round the edge... I'm guessing that some wires aren't as long as others.
