Hi everyone,

I'd like to swap my MX Blacks (PCB mounted) with some MX Reds from another keyboard (Plate Mounted).

Could I be able to just open the switches and swap the spring? Is it possible to open switches if plate mounted? Is there any difference in the stem beside the color?

Thanks in advance

If your iron has temperature control, for soldering I'd use ~280 C for small pads and ~320 C for large ground planes or thick wires.
For desoldering I usually go for ~320 and go fast. Go in, heat the pad, add more solder, suck and out in 2-3 seconds.
That of course if you are using the good old ...

Your iron is probably too hot, or you take too much time and you overheat the pad.
Just to make sure, it doesn't have provision for ANSI, does it?
Unfortunately not, the only "secret" things are holes for leds under capslock and numlock, and the three mounts for switches you can see under the ...

This the one I got without keycaps for me. I harvested some caps from a Chicony with Miniature switches (I'd still need a bottom row and an off-centre caps lock to make it look complete). Also I finally managed to hook up a PS2 cable after breaking one of the pcb ...

Do these have NKRO ? if the answer is yes, are there any left ? I know I'm super late to the party but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I can't test right now as I don't have a DIN to PS2 adapter. Would directly changing the cable with a PS2 one work?

Anyway except unexpected changes there aren't any left ...

acolombo, did you have the time to send them out already? If not, no worries :mrgreen:
As tomorrow is national holiday in Italy today most working places are doing a long weekend, so I physically couldn't ship them ;) they will all go this Thursday, as I've already paid for all the shippings and ...

After some use I noticed I'm less keen to bottom out on Topres, which I usually do on MX, even if the wiki says it should be the opposite. I can describe the whole experience as "softer" than the MX Blues and Buckling Spring I'm used to. I can use less force to write on the keyboard, as the membrane ...

That sounds like winter in Scotland, besides for the blue skies in the distance part. When the storms are blowing here, there's nothing but big thick clouds hugging the ground. And the occasional flying tree.

Summer's much better. There's the occasional break from the rain and hail:

the Realforce is here! At first impression I don't like Topres that much, they remind me a bit of MX Red which I don't like also. I prefer the clickyness of MX Blue. Maybe I just need to get accustomed

Keyboards arrived right now! Shipping will start next week

Some news: I payd the seller last Friday, we chatted on the weekend and then I got a bit scared after he didn't reply to my messages yesterday and today. Fortunately now he told me that the address he wrote down was not correct and from tomorrow the keyboards will be again on their way to me. So I ...

the seller unfortunately told me he it's not going to sell the keyboard only. I was interested in it because I've never seen one here and it looks like there's no documentation about it. It ...

Orders definetively CLOSED! We have had other 2 latecomers, so now I have to ship to 15 people of the community!

The keyboards should be here this Monday hopefully, and I'll start a few days later to ship them to you.

If someone still want to buy one of these keyboards contact me, I'll register ...

I'm interested in either ANSI or ISO and I'm from Italy

The seller has a couple of them and after "looking for an offer" he is asking now 500 for each. Haha I definitely can't afford that!

The split ergo Cherry is legendary. You'll have people pouncing on you to get hold of one.

Little edit makes a big difference, probably

@photekq I still don't know, I have to ask

It's not mine, but I found one... actually more than one. How much should I pay for an G80 MX-5000 (NIB) ?

Guys I paid for the keyboards, we are 13 and the keyboards sold are 14! The price we achieved is 15€ per keyboard.

If someone wants to add to the party you can still make an order and pay until tomorrow, as the keyboards will be shipped tomorrow afternoon form the seller and I already told him we ...

Last day for new orders! I'm still waiting for the last payments, but I'll contact the interested people by PM

Since we are not registering that much "new" interest, whenever I will receive all the payments of the people I PMmed yesterday I think I could pay the seller, and not wait till Thursday, If everyone is okay with it ;) I'm still waiting for just 3 payments.

This way I could receive the keyboards by ...

Thank you very much guys, dezoe and jou, you have pms

Someone with a spare ISO enter keycap, MX mount? I need to replace a fat-ass enter... I'll pay for the shipping and a coffee

Okay guys I PMed everyone who committed for 15€ and if I dind't contact someone simply PM me. I'm colleting the payments (thank you if you already paid), please guys remember to use pay for the fees of paypal or to use paypal gift payment, and to leave a message with the username.

The orders will ...

I'm in costant contact with seller, which seems a bit hesitant to price lowering after I got the price of 15€ per keyboard. Price reductions will come only as we come near to the total number of the keyboard, it looks like he wants to sell them all in this one time. Anyway he assured me that if we ...

I checked and it is 40€, I'm gonna look for something cheaper but that's already one of the cheapest couriers

Okay guys I'm happy to say we already got the price of 15€ per keyboard, as we reached commitments for 9 keyboards.

I don't know how other GBs like this works, but I think I can collect the payments of everyone who committed for 15€ at the moment. You are going to pay for the keyboard only now (15 ...

Okay guys, I edited the first post a bit, you can start sending me PMs if you are really sure about it or if you want to commit at a given price, which could be 10€ or higher or even lower, but again, only if you are sure that if we reach that price, you'll buy it.

I really don't know how to handle ...

Around 8-10 people are needed for the price of 15€ per keyboard, and I'm sure about that as I've already talked with the seller about it.

I still don't know how many we need to be to lower the price more, but it's obviously also in his interest to sell the most of them. If we reach bigger numbers I ...
