For what it's worth I voted for it as well and I have never used reddit. I genuinely liked it the most.

Will ship mine out on Saturday, I don't consider my gift 'perfect' cos some people seem to have everything already :P Should be a nice gift though!
I need to stop joining these, as I really have everything I could ever want, except the 2 or so super rare super expensive boards I probably will ...

Oh that would be an MX to Topre adapter (other way around) and I have never seen any of those before. Topre adapters work by replacing the stems themselves. The cherry adapter would have to sit on top of the mx slider and be long enough for the topre caps to snap in to. You'll have a keyboard with ...

The adapter-x ones are much smoother than JTKs, kbdfans make some good shit!

Yes get yourself on the kbdfans website, they have them for a reasonable price!

I fail to see why an overrated linear board is referred to as the 'holy grail'

Because it's the holy grail of rareness, not feelings.
It isn't though, there are probably custom made keyboards out there that were built in extremely small batches for the military or government that are just as ...

They look darker than the blue caps on my industrial ssk, so they're probably unicomps. Still extremely nice though.

Buy a plum and some light BKE domes and do the swap. Then you have a board that feels arguably better than stock topre keyboards and you get the experience with working on topre boards. Oh and they are pre-silenced and MX compatible.

If you just want a basic topre board then get a realforce or a ...

When I picked up the keyboards in San Antonio today, the guy was amazed that you guys prefer model Fs over Model Ms. He has repaired both for over 30 years, and he says Fs are deficient :o He says the Ms are easier to repair, and break a lot less often. And he says Fs are a royal pain to reassemble ...

I got two of those, and I have entertained the thought of plugging them both at the same time and make a kind of split ortholinear keyboard. Perhaps I should...
You totally should! Don't let those badboys go to waste! I wish I had picked up some M50's back when they were dirt cheap.

Oh, they're ...

After buying that numpad I honestly think Model F & M hybrids are the best feeling (usually found on M50's and numpads)
They sound more like a Model F than a Model M, they feel like they have longer & smoother travel than Model M's but not quite linear like Model F's do, and have a tactile feel ...

struggling to breathe at the thought of more 4704's in the world

Sure thing, here you go: This thing is super weird, it sounds exactly like a Model F and feels somewhere between a Model M and a Model F. I suppose it makes sense since a lot of the internals are Model F parts.

I finally get to see what these two look like next to each other!

Do the A, B, C and D keys on the numpad actually put out (?) A, B, C and D? If so, why? :lol: I guess this wasn't supposed to be used as a regular numpad?

I have no idea tbh mate, I am waiting on Orihalcon to get ...

Yep im the same as seebart. Bans would've been ideal in the past but they dont always have a great effect due to people making new accounts. As long as offensive hateful content is removed then I am happy!

Gl to the mods.

Spammed pretty badly? When I look at the Spy right now, I see peaceful discussion. I saw that guy who made a string of nonsensical posts and I saw that he was reported so had my eye on it, as I'm sure the other guys in the team did. I guess we have quite different ideas of what spam is...we've ...

The forum was spammed pretty badly by just 1 guy and nothing was done about it. Thats why we need more mods.

Welcome to both! Hopefully this helps with the complete lack of moderation recently

Just getting started my friend!

My quadruplets! 2 of which are getting the BKE dome upgrade very soon. All have been silenced with kbdfans rings and thin lubed!
Ill be using the leftover hhkb 45g domes on my plum 108 to upgrade it to a near genuine topre board!

Haha that sounds rough mate, i can only imagine how kishsaver owners felt prior to xwhatsit

... and, after a bad experience with an online recycler that had a high score, this outright makes me nervous. https://www.ebay.com/itm/152795742299 - should I run the risk?

I recently bought a Model F AT that wasn't tested and it works great, I heard that Model F's in decent condition usually ...

Yet another HHKB, seen 3 of these come up in the last few days. This one I wont be buying!
Starting at a low price too.

Just picked up a HHKB Pro 2 black for £85, pretty shocked
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172985492926

This is now my 4th HHKB. Someone just shoot me

Does anyone know if plums will take genuine topre domes? I have bke domes on order for my 3 hhkbs so I was gonna swap my old 45g domes into my plum / noppoo 108
