This is possibly exciting to hear.

Whatever they do, they have **got** to work on their reliability - particularly on that Ergo Pro

I went through 4 of them before giving up.
That just can't happen with a premium priced product like that is.

Realforces are the best in my experience, but I did enjoy some Plum "clones" specifically for the bluetooth and RGB options (the former more than the latter).

It was also nice that they were about 1/2 of the cost (or less) as RF's

Confirming sale of the two Thinkpad Bluetooth keyboards.
Arrived very fast and in phenomenal condition - Thank you Ken!

Have a rollermouse red still?

I'm selling them because I changed jobs - as a contractor I was moving around a lot plus dealing with RSI issues, so having a flat bluetooth keyboard w/trackpoint to use was a godsend (working out of hotels, conference rooms, etc). Having two was nice so I could keep one in my bag and one at the ...

Nice. Sort of as an aside.
Why selling them?
They work fine I assume?

Also, why’d you have 2?
(Just curious)

Very interested in buying btw

How old are the Thinkpad keyboards?
Thx

(I’m in Idaho btw)

@Spearra

Great call on the RollerMouse Red

Those things are really unique and totally can be a dream come true for RSI/other point device related pain.

I like the way they feel/react for short spurts and window navigation/shortcuts, etc, but I'm really not into them for longer term typing. I find that my finger tips end up sort of tired/sore (no, not banging on them). I think there just isn't quite enough travel for me.

The desktop Magic Keyboard ...

Sorry for bumping and old thread, but has anyone used one with a Mac and specifically seen what could be done to tweak the tracepoint settings with BetterTouchTool perhaps?

Deleted - Wrong spot

Great pics!

Just an another example, I'm right now, in 2 seconds each time, switching my Plum back and forth between BT connections with my gaming HTPC (win10) and my iPad next to me for iMessage responses.

So awesome..

Ohh my god... how dare you to claim that? HERETIC *BLAM BLAM*

lol :D

Just wanted it out there that "yes', I've absolutely tried several legit and expensive Topre's that have very high build quality and feel - but through all the exploration I've found my dream machines (for now) with these Plum ...

I know this might be heresy to say here, but I've owned:

1. Realforce 87u 45g & 55g
2. HHKB-S
3. Leopold FC660C
4. Plum 84 35g
5. Now, Two Plum 75 45g's

Nothing touches the RF build quality. I just want that out of the way.

Of all these boards, the Plum75 is my absolute favorite. I love the feel ...

It will - it's awesome

I haven't used this as my main keyboard, so I can't say how long this lasts with continuous usage. I use the Plum Nano 75 on my iPad and with my media center and have to recharge it every two weeks I'd say.

Interesting - That's pretty good all in all
I may try and do a test at home and use it ...

Anyone have any commentary on the battery life on Bluetooth?

I really do wonder if all legit Topre's would be more popular if they had MX compatibility.

I think the keycap switching is a big deal in the mech keyboard demographic.

Yeah, as much as I enjoyed legit Topre boards over the years, the options on these Plums just blows them away for my needs.

1. Much cheaper entry price
2. Form factors not available in genuine Topre
3. Full programmability (also not available unless a custom HHKB or something)
4. Bluetooth wireless ...

@zslane: Thanks for the tips on the programming - Done with little fanfare in about 10 minutes.

Have my Mac centric pro setup rolling like a charm.

What an amazing keyboard and that Programming software takes it over the top as now I don't need any software or macro programs to make the keys do ...

Non-RGB and wired though, yeah?

That's what I'd heard - Basically wired Nano75 non RGB

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

I also just procured a 2nd 45g Nano 75 RGB (lightly pre-owned)

I'm not sure they are going to make anymore.
Mech Greenhand had commented in a PM to me somewhat to that effect, but maybe I misread what he meant.

Very nice!
Did you talk about the painting process/what was involved used anywhere that I missed?

I've been thinking about going down that road at some point - Bit too white for my liking at stock

Yes, you can assign FN anywhere you want. I currently have it in the Caps Lock position and I also have it swapped with R-Alt so that R-Alt is where it usually is (next to the spacebar) and FN is the next key over. Keep in mind that your remapped keys only work when the keyboard is switched over to ...

@zslane: I haven't yet gotten time to try out the software, but do you know if you can switch which key is the Fn key?

I'm a Mac guy and would love to have the Fn key be where the normal CTRL key is, which I place where Caps Lock is on my different machines. Then I could have a Command Key on both ...

@slyker:

I think the Chinese sellers get down to "x amount of inventory left" and jack the prices.
That is my impression after watching a variety of prices on a few of the AliExpress stores over the last year.

Thx

I'm about to give the programming software a try.

Is there a particular version of Windows that's optimal for that?
I have several to choose from around the house.

That light will go off when the battery is fully charged.

The only indicator of battery level that I know of is when the battery gets low the light under the ESC key will blink.

Ok - Thx

Do you what size this spacebar is?
Wanting to get these hi-profile keycaps and it has 6.25u spacebars (or 7u ...

Does anyone know how to turn the white led on the ESC off when in USB mode?

Additionally - Any way to tell the battery level?
