Is correct, most lack a scroll wheel which make them pretty much unusable. Sure you can write a script to make a scroll lock but it isn't as convenient.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks for the offer fossala, I wouldn't want you taking apart your s-type just for the sake of it though. Isn't it a silicone o-ring? Does it just sit on top of the plunger?

A while ago I remember seeing a number of pictures that detailed the different between regular and silent topre switches.

I remember seeing them on GH, but I assume that they were only linked there. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks,

Jim.

Well I did it this morning and it worked a treat.

I left the diode the the spacebar so there are no issues with the switch moving about.

One last question, when I'm de-soldering the left spacebar switch, I know I have remove the solder from the two pins connected to the leaf, but do I also need to de-solder the diode?

What would be the consequence of leaving the diode soldered on this switch? It would be preferable to do so, as then ...

... which would be necesary to ensure that no 'space' gets sent.
perhaps a blob of hotglue would be your ideal saviour here, since it can be pulled right off when needed (afaik damaging nothing); then again, since you'll be hitting the switch from the top, I don't really see it coming out unless in ...

Ok, I guess it won't be too much of an issue. It's not like it's going to be moving a great deal, the stabilisers on each side of the switch should hold it in place once the space bar is on.

Necrobump!

Ok, so, now that: a) I've started using the 5000 as my full time keyboard, and b) I'm going to keep it for ever and ever... I'm actually going to get around to doing this mod.

Before I start though, I just have a couple more questions that I though you slightly more serious modders ...

I appreciate the limited nature of the CCs, but, am I the only one who thinks that they aren't that aesthetically pleasing to the eye?

I soooo want to get my hands on a set of UK double shots .

What's the going rate for a used, perfect condition, white printed HHKB? I can't get on with it, I'm going to sell it.

Congrats, I'm glad you've managed to find out at a decent price.

Awful awful awful keyboards. They're made from thin brittle plastic, I'm being serious, they are awful.

Out of the three that I owned, 1 had serious ghosting issues and they all three resonated/pinged a LOT.

Still no f***ing updates for the iMac?!?! Why Apple whhhhyyy?!?!

Hahahaha, I had forgotten all about "the typing of the dead" game.

Best console ever is Dreamcast. I enjoy to many different type of games to pick one.

Couldn't agree more, I loved my dreamcast, there were so many good games.

Playing quake 3 arena on the dreamcast was my first introduction into FPS; arrrh the memories. Also, Shenmue was an awesome, I remember ...

Are you going to make me happy and do topre soon?

Indeed, this would also make me happy.

IBM model m bought from ncbound. I hated buckling springs and I haven't gone back to them since.

Well, I for one can't wait.

Any updates on proposed group buy (assuming it reaches GB) case material? Are you still thinking of 3D printing?

Did the price for a machined Alu OTD class case come back astronomical?

A new addition to my desktop, the hhkb.

I've been after one of these for a while now; it's growing on me (albeit slowly).

Hahahaha, this is funny. There's a noob somewhere that thinks he's got a bargain.

Another ANSI MX5000 has appeared from the same seller. I wonder if anyone will be stupid enough to pull the trigger at that price...

Ooooooh that looks great. Good work Dox.

How do you distinguish the ansi with windows keys model and euro with windows keys ? us layout?

ISO or EURO layout has an inverted L enter key and small left shift among other things.

Are the one's without the window keys using the older connector not the ps/2???because if yes this store seems to have some....

No, this doesn't always follow. The ISO 5000 that I am using also uses the 5 pin DIN connector (the older one). As others have said, the main differences in price are as ...

Really annoying when sellers do this.

Cheap and NIB...

No winkey (can't you just autohotkey that?) and it looks as though it's missing the little red nub; probs ps/2 as well.
