Hey guys, I've been too busy with university and life in the last times, and sadly I left the forum. Now I'm back and I'll try to stay active again :) I'm sadly writing this on a rubber dome :( My only "modern" (USB) mechanical keyboard is fried. What I'm gonna do is probably sell some classic keybo...

Hi everyone, what is a Model M2 worth? I don't want to sell it, I'm just going to paint the case so I'd like to know if I'm ruining a collectable or not

I'd go with DSA caps, they are lot easier to find and probably better than completely flat caps.

I've tried for the first time DSA caps this week and they're really awesome, I like them a lot more compared to Cherry profile!

If it IS broken, it's almost certainly due to the capacitors. Simply solder in new ones and it should work. Yeah I'm not that much worried about it working or not, indeed. I just hope to have the right capacitors at home and not having to go out and buy them :lol: My only concern was it being rubbe...

Yup, that's an M2. Rare to find one nowadays that works - only one of my three worked, and that only partly at first. Did you have yours tested? Here's my review on it, if you're interested: It will be shipped to me next week. I've seen that it's prone to failure, I hope it works and if not I'll tr...

Guys, is this a buckling spring M2? I've already bought it and I really hope so!

Silverstone? Race? O.O what do you do? I'm totally interested, please tell us more

Hi, sorry for not updating but I was a lot busy, I paid them last week and they should arrive this week to me, I hope to send them out this Friday

BTW we ordered just 8 and two of them are mine

Is that the one with the PS2 broken connector? Damn I wanted to buy it!

There is also the Cherry Factory tour also from Linus

What I think is you're lucky. It would be much better for me to waste less time lurking on deskthority or reddit, and not spending all my money on keyboards

we reached the moq, order will close 6 July 2015

Some CF loves :evilgeek: It's a really nice shot. Can you give some details on how that plate's done and what the case is etc, or will all be revealed in due time? :) the plate was cut out from a carbon fiber board as well as a back side plate, those 2 made a sandwich style case then slided into a ...

Thanks for the payment. We are at 7 keyboards now. I'll order them from the seller after we reach 10 people. Estimated shipping is around the first or second week of July

If I were in your position I'd probably consider other options. I owned a Quickfire TK and if you often change between numpad and arrows it's not that good, it was pretty annoying for me to go on the arrows with the numlock still active and write numbers all over the place. I think arrows and/or num...

Hi everyone, Not so recently I acquired two G81-1000HAU, both without the sticker on the back. Now I started working in a typography, we print stickers all the time, and I'd like to print an accurate replica of the label. Does someone have a G81-1000HAU with the sticker in nice condition? Could you ...

I didn't fix a deadline, we have to reach a minimum number of people before currently the orders are 2, 3 considering mine

Now I would be interested in one without keycaps : )

You can arrange something with beltet which wants only the caps

You might get a few more since I just posted some tasty pictures of this board wearing Round 5 caps! It suits them quite well I think. @kbdfr If you had to guess would you think the cap coloration are due to the unique nature of the legends? Possibly sourced from different manufacturing runs or som...

@kbdfr If you had to guess would you think the cap coloration are due to the unique nature of the legends? Possibly sourced from different manufacturing runs or something else?

None for the moment, but orders are open for the second run of the GB

Yeah here is a link for the tracking: http://as777.brt.it/vas/sped_det_show.h ... ne=Ricerca
They tried 3 times and then marked the address as incorrect, now I asked for another try...

Did you all get your keyboard? If everyone is sorted I might start to take orders for a second run, as there's some people very interested and I also need another keyboard to gift to a friend

Got mine aswell. Looks good. But I got the caps from the G81-8008LPAIT aswell without realising that all the mods have a strange stabaliser... It was the mods I was going to use on regular MX board... :o :( Anyway, that was my own fault for not checking it up. :oops: Thanks for organising this acol...

I paid more for the rubber dome IBM Model M I just bought, than what I paid for my buckling spring Unicomp Model M :cry: Unfortunately I dind't have a clue... Now what should I do with it? The conditions are pretty nice. The keycaps are just filthy but not shiny. The case is almost perfect apart fro...

...and here is his older, slightly scruffier, slightly stupider (the arrow keys and nav cluster all send numpad scancodes) PAC60 ISO brother. This was after a pretty massive clean session, I'm not sure what it was coated in but it was pretty grim... This is the first time I like an ISO version more...

I gave everyone his tracking number if you haven't received it yet pm me

They are probably not working till this evening / tomorrow as they get to the dispachment center

Realforce on its way to Portugal, BRT tracking number AA00459643483 6

Everything ready for tomorrow!

Thanks Acolombo. It's shipping time! Hope you've got wheels, or someone's coming to pick those up. 3 different couriers are going to pick them up at my place, I'll have some traffic going on this Thursday. Only your keyboards still need to be packed! Don't forget to PM me your address as PayPal fri...

The soldering and desoldering isn't a problem: I'm just thinking of the poor MX red board that could be sold or used instead of being savaged! Yeah I just wanted to keep both in working order, I don't want to harm any keyboard off course ;) If the Korean springs are really cheap, please tell where ...
