Well you can get keyboards with Cherry MX switches from 10$ to 10‘000$ There‘s more than just G80s and Wyse :lol: Yeah but their still plastic and pcb with NO decent Metal Plate, if you're talking about the standard Cherry made junk. Please show us where another normal ANSI full metal plate (and ca...

Technically, even those were still within spec. At least within Cherry's external set of specifications. That claim just made it worse IMO! https://www.cherry.de/PDF/EN_CHERRY_MX1A-1xxx.pdf Actuation force: 60 ± 20 cN +/- 30% Cherry Fabois all over the world shocked. 300hp BMW in spec with 200hp? A...

One thing that DID in fact bother me though was when Cherry was delivering the switches for the community MX Silent Black GB and accidentally put in MX Red springs and THEN refused to take responsibility. Technically, even those were still within spec. At least within Cherry's external set of speci...

+1, you've been missed, Mu

Yet another beamer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/132669434373/

For once not a 5251; always nice with some variety

Mmmm, SKCL Cream. I proxied a board with those for subcat some time ago and got a very brief test of them. Very nice linears. I don't recall the slider looking that way, but then again I wasn't looking for it. Nice find!

My '87 SSK has a black plate and the '91's beige.

Necro of the year, but, it is a very nice keyboard and the documentation of the build is exceptional.

Post the ugliest keyboards you've seen!

Anything in the clack section on GH !

There are pics of wingnuts in there...

The guy who made this is basically known here for taking ibm keyboards and uglifying them for big money, i dont understand the design decisions here, is the theme "sunburnt on the beach??" So he has a preexsisting reputation for this type of work? Who the heck is buying these atrocities and thus ke...

Just a curious question, but how do the EnjoyPBT keycaps compare to these real Cherry ones? http://img01.cp.aliimg.com/bao/uploaded/i3/134583372/TB26EPOkpXXXXbnXXXXXXXXXXXX_!!134583372.jpg While I've got no experience with HASRO/SAV or ePBT Cyrillic, I would say that my SAU compare very favourably ...

Opeth has been a recurring theme for me lately. Thought I could share the love.

So for the above we'd be looking at roughly: 21 EUR for the "base" 1.5 mod version. 32 EUR for the 1.5 + 1.25 mod version. 36 EUR for the 1.5 + 1.25 + 65% addon. What do people think? (edit: this is the GMK base cost + 19% VAT, not including shipping to me, so real prices would be slightly higher e...

I don't recognise the seller but is it from the guy with the ruined 5251 or from the person with the purple plate F107? I am intrigued, I want to see those keyboards but I don't find anything with the search feature, do you have links nearby? The F107 was on the first page but the 5251 pictures see...

Oof, all the successful work done in this thread makes me feel bad about not having brought my beamer back to life yet. That said, amazing job!

WRT timelines, I've long since stopped caring about that when it comes to this project. The keyboards are done when they're done, and I appreciate that and Ellipse's attention to detail. Quite frankly, given how long time has passed since I bought in, I couldn't care less if I got my F62 this year o...

One layout to rule them all

Love grows where my function key goes

Etcetera

A third of the price, maybe?

That's fucking hilarious.

Easter meant some time to build this thing that arrived earlier this week:

I've met a couple locals, but they are mostly active on geekhack/reddit.

Have you tried any of the Logitech G series mice? I'm curious about what you think of them, if you have. I got a few of those and so here's my $0,02. I have a G900, G602, G502 and a MX master. The G900 (Chaos Spectrum) is great for it is both wireless and wired (I prefer wired), but not very ergono...

Forgot to mention vintage MX black, but I've only used modern MX black. Are there any other good ones? Retooled blacks are OK with a small bit of lube but not many pre-built boards have retooled yet, vintage blacks are very, very common to find and a lot better than modern non retooled blacks FTFY

Nixies

[...] Also, this is a curveball question, but these keys are MX, but doesn't this forum hate MX switches? Or are there any other good ones (besides BOX)? :roll: And yes, there is that Xmit hall effect one too that supports them, too. Wherever did you get that notion? Thomas said they are disappoint...

I can understand that given what you have in storage. Having said that, you're missing a real treat!

I got this bag in the mail today: https://i.imgur.com/ZbMReyJ.jpg Hmm, it says TX on it? https://i.imgur.com/FyjISpE.jpg A little unassuming, perhaps, but that means something quite special has shown up. Well, well, look what we've got here https://i.imgur.com/JYUSsIM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8ekSuez...

Another quality contender.

my keyboard, made as a semi shitpost for a 4th of july thread. these caps were indeed dyed by berserkfag. I still have the esc key kicking around somewhere. Surely you could have done better than that. https://webwit.nl/input/keycaps/colored5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0yZz8m4.jpg I really want this c...
