Salut ici, un conseil ce qu'il vaut. Weber métaux boutiques dans paris , les leaders de toute visserie et autre.. à voir je ne vais m'y pencher que la semaine à venir... mais ils sont connus pour fournir le maximum depuis des lustres... à vérifier ! Pour ceux qui habitent en région parisienne ça pe...

Moi aussi j'étais en train de regarder où acheter des vis. Je n'ai pas encore passé ma commande, mais il me semble que la livraison est un peu moins chère sur www.bricovis.fr. En plus, sur ce site il est vraiment possible d'acheter à l'unité (alors que pour vis-express il faut prendre au moins 150).

Gee, I didn't take that photo, but this is precisely the kind of comment that makes me think twice about posting one. I have a very modest camera so I seldom take photos, anyway.

Thank you both for replying and keeping my sanity in check. The ebay status finally got updated. All looks fine now. My prrrrecious is currently in the 'Customs Documentation and Labeling' stage.

UPAAA is the ebay international fulfillment program. The seller shipped the board to ebay's fulfillment center and they're going to forward it to you. No problem 8) That's what it sounds like to me too. Great, I do hope you're right! Thanks. This is the first time I buy something off ebay. Did I me...

Hm, I'm not sure what to make of it. The USPS tracking sevice shows my package is delivered. January 24, 2015 , 11:56 pm Delivered ERLANGER, KY 41025 January 24, 2015 , 7:42 pm Arrived at USPS Facility CINCINNATI, OH 45235 The ebay tracking number (UPAAA) still shows it as in transit: In Transit-Arr...

What's the format of the tracking number? I think it would be nearly impossible for an international package to be mistakenly delivered within the USA. My guess is that the seller uploaded the wrong tracking number for this auction. The tracking number displayed on ebay is UPAAA followed by 15 digi...

I won my first ebay auction a few days ago for a blue-label IBM Model M 1391401. The seller is based in the US and the item's page on ebay says that shipping to France is assured by "International Priority Shipping". For about a day or two, clicking the tracking number on ebay (a tracking number sta...

Interesting, thanks. OMG, I have so much to learn!

Really scratchy and really hard to activate if you're not on the exact middle of the keycap. Ugh, that board suddenly became a lot less sexy. But I do like the layout. I do recall an old thread here about some really neat Cherry switches that are not made anymore, but I don't remember their name. I...

"Rough" as in scratchy / overall unpleasing or as in high actuation force required? Oh, and I didn't try Alps either

Cherry Spacesaver ML4100 Looks in very good shape. How do ML switches feel like? I've seen a video review on youtube and the guy wasn't that crazy about these switches. He found the MLs in this model to be kind of scratchy, so he lubed the switches. I've only tried MX browns and blues from the Cher...

Pfff, you call that a laptop? THIS is a laptop! http://www.old-computers.com/museum/hardware/ibm_5140_printer_1.jpg Haha, wow, that's really something! It was released in 1986. I wonder what kind of laptops will be available in 30 years from now. My first PC had 16 MB of RAM and my new rig (which I...

Sorry! I thought I had searched thoroughly. I was wrong. *running away, hiding in my hole*

This is already old news, but it seems it has not yet been posted here. MSI have announced in October 2014 their GT80 Titan gaming laptop, featuring a mechanical keyboard! :shock: It's a SteelSeries keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. To my knowledge, this would be the first laptop ever to inclu...

Never mind, ce n'est pas bon. J'ai cherché sur les sites amazon dans d'autres langues et j'ai trouvé sur la version italienne la description du contenu du coffret. Il n'y a pas de 5,5 mm. En fait je cherchais un nut driver sur amazon pour compléter une commande jusqu'à 25€ pour l'expédition gratuite...

Ah, j'ai galéré pour trouver l'équivalent français de "nut driver". Je vis en France mais le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle. Pour communiquer dans le milieu professionnel je n'ai aucun problème, par contre dès qu'il s'agit d'objets courants dans la vie de tous les jours j'ai du mal. Je cher...

it had zinc alphas, great Banggood PBT modifiers and blank signature plastics PBT keys were required. The lack of R5 keycaps in replacement kits is not a big deal, you just lose the slight ergonomic gain. If I did it again, I would have gone with all blank modifiers, would have kept the board more ...

What about Keycool 84 very similar to KBT Race but with more standard keycaps. Ah, now that's a nice layout indeed. Thanks, I'll look into it. So far, I've only found www.kc-keycool.com. Apart from nice pics, I see no specs listed. From a mere visual inspection, I'd say it's not programmable, but m...

A ISO version of KBT Race is expected around April-June if you want ISO, I want one when it comes out. https://www.facebook.com/KBTeurope Thanks for your reply. Thanks for the hint, but I actually I can't stand ISO. It's a long story. I basically used ANSI all my life (only ANSI was available in Ro...

I'm in need of a mechanical keyboard to have on-the-run, for daily use. So far I've been considering the WASD v2 TKL, but I still find it kind of big. From what I've seen, the most appealing to me is the KBT Race 2, for two reasons: it has a limit of 64 characters per key on the Fn layer (as opposed...

Wrong. Exported goods are not subject to VAT in the country of origin. VAT on imported goods is collected by the customs office, but is not an import tax, it equates to the VAT you would have paid anyway if buying in your own country instead of from abroad. Import duties apply above a certain limit...

HyperToast - the toaster with self-awareness!

You mean like this?

Real toaster pros mod their toasting devices to run NetBSD... and a HHKB (lite)! http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php Haha, cool! I'd heard of the NetBSD-operated toaster, but I didn't know it had all been done with a HHKB :P Well, NetBSD was designed with portability in mind,...

Sorry if it's too off-topic even for the Off-topic section, but this all-so-serious toaster modding tutorial really made me laugh out loud. Plus, the guy is actually using an IBM Model M.

Cool! Congratulations and enjoy your new board! I also plan on buying a TKL WASD v2 with MX Blues very soon, but mine will feature blank keycaps. I received my Unicomp in France two weeks ago, and yesterday the FedEx invoice came in -- I had to pay 35€ of import duties. I hate this. If we're talking...

Sure there is: NIB originals! I don't have any Unicomps myself, as full size is much too big for me. Got an NIB SSK though… NIB SSK :shock: *drools* Just inspected ebay the other day and I stumbled upon either a NIB or a bolt modded SSK, can't remember, that the guy was selling for about $500. Plus...

Those Unicomps are actually quite cute. I don't know why they've got the cut-out for the trackpoint buttons, though... That and the bizarre modifiers. Classic Unicomp! The cutout for the buttons must be due to the fact that the Ultra Classic is the exact same thing as the EnduraPro , minus the butt...

Even though my photo skills suck, I can assure you I do love my brand new Unicomp :P It's my second mechanical keyboard and my condition is aggravating... My first mechanical is a Logitech G710+ with MX Browns and I'm planning to get an IBM Model M soon, as well as a TKL WASD v2 with MX Blues and no...

Thank you for your encouragements, scottc and seebart! I will definitely check out the marketplace. Since I got 'infected' with the whole mechanical keyboard microbe (early 2014), I pondered joining DT quite often but decided against it (had nothing useful to say at the moment and no specific needs ...
