But I guess that's the price to pay for high performance.

All that being said, I love the way they "come back to life" with a little bit of elbow grease.

True that, just finished sanding the rust off an F122 barrel plate:

Maybe we could get it in 2025

Gorgeous doubleshots, nice boards dude

Did you receive any news about that Model F XT case? I may have found one, but I'd better source more than one just in case

Do you need just the plastic top part of the case or do you also need the bottom metal pan as well?

Beautiful circuitry and construction.

*bows down to the godly Muirium*

this is what everyone should be doing

The patent expired on the original design so anyone can make them, no rights required. [...] but even then they still aren't in the same league as MX, its just that they aren't competing with MX. A modern BS switch would be competing though and no one really wants the risk associated with direct co...

Honestly, the only thing I have a serious disgust with is the font. Use something classy

You will need clamps, the long kind. They are in the fourth picture to the left, something like this would be idea: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-36-in-600-lb-Trigger-Clamp-w-3-75-in-Throat-Depth-DWHT83187/204988148 If you are using xwhatsit there will be a lot of soldering involved, probably t...

Interesting, you could make that keyswitch the on off button for your computer. Would def make a great macropad.

Gotta side with Max, prices are wack yo

Nice! Glad I've been putting off restoring my ambers

Very well done, I'm just using a basic bookshelf for my boards. What is that IBM system at the very bottom?

what does the circular 4 button thingy do below the spacebar? Are those multimedia buttons?

What are you doing with that wee rubberdome?

Great final build and aesthetic! The only thing out of place to me is the spacebar, i'd opt for a more navy blue color bar to fit the rest of your theme better.

Do those switches feel like alps? If so, which type? I would guess SKCM black but I'm shooting in the dark here.

Nice price, GLWS!

I have an extra SSK with Displaywrite keycaps that has been bold modded. I'll be selling it soon. Not sure I can let it go for less than $200, though. Let me know if you are interested.

That price seems fair

Here's the new model M - https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UT40U4A

Does anyone else feel like their listing for a new product is almost insulting? No description at all, and they only included one image.

Bro didn't you already make this thread?

I would guess $35 max. Most likely $20ish dollars.

Do either of you have pictures or prices in mind? I'm assuming both of you are in the US, is that right?

I am in US. Price would be $20 + shipping(without switches). Here are your pictures:
