deskthority

Uhm, I'm not new to the hobby and I've tried almost every relevant switch out there (Topre, Gaterons, Cherry MX, Alps) EXCEPT IBM Buckling springs. I'd love to try Buckling springs, but I cannot convince myself to spend 80€+ on a Model M, because I'm almost certain that I cannot use a keyboard of th...

Why are there no groupbuys for relegendable keycap sets?
Like a full set of relegendables.
You'd be able to go complete custom layout and make full use of fully programmable keyboards.

Bin mit 2 sets dabei, hoffentlich wird es was.

Warum soll das eine einmalige Geschichte bleiben, wenn sich tatsächlich herausstellen sollte, dass in Deutschland genug Nachfrage für ISO DE sets besteht?

Ach komm schon ... ich wollte doch sparen

Habe jetzt mit Java programmieren angefangen und brauche da ziemlich oft >, < und |.
Die Taste fehlt ja leider auf ANSI. Ich müsste also entweder in Windows auf ANSI umstellen oder mit einem Tool eine Taste remappen, richtig?

Received my caps yesterday. Thank you very much Philipp! Count me in for R2

The M K 104 now only works, when you put it in XT mode, boot and then turn the switch to AT. If you boot it in AT the keyboard doesn't work. Well ... at least it works now when flippng the switch.

Maybe I should try out buckling spring next.

Hey guys,
I changed all the capacitors on the boards and now they work!
The leds on the FK-2002 are dead but at least I can type on it now.
Thank you so much Findecanor! Much appreciated!

Opened the board up, it only has 2 capacitors, 1,34€ on ebay. Maybe worth a try

Not recognized at all.
I picked up Cherry boards that looked like they were used as ashtrays - all of them still worked fine.

I am using a 5pol-to-PS/2 adapter and am aware of the fact that PS/2 cannot be hot-plugged.

How can I recognize dried out electrolytic capacitors?

First I bought a Focus FK-2002.
Not working.

Now I bought a Monterey K104.
Not. fucking. working.

Why?

Wohne leider 320km entfernt, das ist mir dann doch zu weit. Schade

I'd like to know if they are planning to help out German customers in some way.
It's driving German keyboard enthusiasts crazy, that we have to pay international shipping twice + additional taxes for a product, which is actually made in our own country.

Any updates?

This is very true.
I absolutly love thick Cherry profiled caps on linear switches.
On MX Blues however, I prefer light ABS caps in OEM profile because they give a much more satisfying feel and clicking noise.
It really depends.

I can't wait.

I'm using a 5-PIN to Ps/2 Adaper.
Since this does not seem to be common, I can just imagine it has something to do with the Ps/2 port on my specific motherboard.

I can make you cry too, just look at this:

Hoping for leftovers.

Hi, i have a little problem with my G80-1000. The NumLock LED stays on all the time, even when the computer is off. It doesn't matter if the NumLock was active or inactive while shutting down, the LED will always light up as soon as the computer is off. I don't want the LED to be on all night and al...

I also have never seen this type of Cherry Logo before.

Danke, habt mir weitergeholfen.

Hi,

wie schreibt man auf einer ANSI Tastatur folgende Zeichen:

'
#
>
<
|

da ich diese Tasten beim ANSI layout ja nicht habe?

Am Computer ist DE eingestellt zwecks Ä Ö Ü.

Oder stellt ihr den PC auf EN um und verzichtet auf die Umlaute?

Gruß

Leider zu spät. Die Gateron blanks hätte man mal testen können. Ich habe mir bereits Filco ABS blanks von http://www.keyboardco.com gekauft.

Hi, gibt es irgendwo ISO PBT Blanks zu kaufen, am besten in schwarz? wasdkeyboards.com bietet die sets ja leider nur in ABS an und dazu noch gnadenlos überteuert. Das PBT set von Vortex kenne ich, dunkelgrau mit top oder sideprint, ist aber leider nicht schwarz. Auf corus-kb habe ich das hier entdec...

Oh, I would love to participate.
The contrary topre reviews ("cannot use anything else anymore" / "just a better rubberdome") make me want to try them really badly.

I'd say 50-60€.

Hi, I have two G80s and I am unsure if they have vintage or regular MX Blacks, could you help me identifying? 1.
