way to necro a 3.5 year old thread

proud of ya buddy

I mean its rubberdome, you can tell by the picture. also nice name... if only it were true

The patriot... clearly. Liberty is the most 'murican thing I can think of

We had packages get lost in the great abyss... and people that never shipped items. certainly not as intended

Forget the pcb, no need for it. handwiring would be easier than patching together a chopped pcb. getting the case to looks good after the cut is the big deal here. if you screw up the case on this though its really no big deal, at101ws are dirt common anyway. Its a pretty neat idea if you can pull ...

fuck I'll buy this


old meme but still pretty funny

this thing has a rubber condom over the switches that makes it pretty well spillproof, but feel like shit at the same time. also the caps are pretty ...

I do in this case, but have no desire to sell my 3014 at any price. Good luck with your search though.

Definitely gonna have to disagree there. I can't stand spring ping, especially on alps and BS. Back when I still had a model f It was floss modded, and I have lubed the springs lf my skcl browns and skcm blues. IMNSHO blue alps (in a nice plastic backed chassis) are the only clicky switches with a ...

Great keyfeel, great noise, ~$100 for a completely new one. Other new fullsize mechs that price are mostly RGB junk or a barebones Cherry G80 without a backplate.
meh... keyfeel is a quite subjective factor so I'll leave that out... but im not a fan
noise? no thanks
And in my opinion there aren't ...

Pretty sweet mod, dont know what you're on about. anyway it's just a model m... totally dime a dozen.

"Just a Model-M", what supreme and petty ignorance :x .

Every time I see another post about the Model-M being worthless and insignificant, I need to reach for my AR-15 and climb a church steeple ...

I feel the same way for a somewhat different reason... I now have everything I want in this hobby. I do love the community though, definitely worth it to stick around for just the fellowship.

best tactile alps switch by far, like heavier and slightly more tactile oranges

eww

Looks like a Chicony 5160AT to me, but yeah definitely Futaba.

Better?



Now don't say I never did anything for you old man

New monitor, new post

Just ordered two Cherry MX G80s. One G80-11900LTMUS and one G80-8113LRDUS-2 both NIB. I'm pretty sure they'll have vintage blacks so it will be interesting to see how NIB vintage blacks will stand up to NIB SKCC greens. They'll also be my first MX boards so I guess If I don't like MX black Ill be ...

Just missed this strange beast ("vintage PC in a keyboard") - my bid came in second.

Possible blue ALPS? It also has weird colours on some keys (e.g. green tab and enter legends, blue horizontal and red vertical arrows?!). I'm beginning to really regret not having placed a higher bid - but as I ...

wtf am I reading here? Are there really people that think that you can "shave" 0.05mm off a stem??? Just trash that junk and buy real switches.

couldn't have said it better myself.

I would definitely like to buy one, but quite frankly the shipping estimates are insane. is there any way to bring down the US shipping? Different carrier? slower service?

pretty sure it was made for MX blacks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instead of linear box switches I would always recommend retooled Cherry mx black switches, they are smooth and as we know for over 30 years now they are designed perfectly. And with 20ct per switch they are also the cheapest option out there: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/mx1a-11nn/cherry ...
