In for 10 kits!!!

actually she is also a sponsor, so I don't know if she should be here. but this year is the wild edition, so I guess it's okay. Oh yeah we‘re really bending the rules here. Back in the good old days, such good deeds would not go unpunished. This non-anal version of the DTA this year are really the ...

Cindy is so overdue for a DTA

Thanks for your application guys .. really amazing to see people are interested in this

Mariasms kit will soon be shipped. Will PM twasa about his

Rabbit Hole Kits are back online! Please forward this to everyone who you think should get one

It‘s not an official DT chat, just a keyboard related chat group on Telegram. The DT references have long been removed because it‘s too much work moderating the chat decently.
I understand this little drama is a great opportunity for you to get some attention but it‘s unrelated to DT really.

Maybe they made another 50'000 units of the G80-3000LQMDE

My impression was that each keyboard MODEL got it's own serial number range.

So it would appear you've got #18 of the model G80-3000LQMDK

Meanwhile, Cherry MX Blue are:

Can we get a short typing demo on that keyboard?

My impression from these entry level chinese clone RGB board was that they are commonly unpleasantly loud with high pitched plastic noise.

Just wondering if that thing happens to be office proof sound wise because that would really be a steal

From the company that also brought you Box Switches

MX Clears causing stress marks - on what caps? GMK is well known for using MX clears in their industrial boards and this would mean the OG Skidata caps should have a few cases of stress marks. None of my five sets show any sign. MX Clears causing stress marks on ePBT, SP, MaxKeys or other third part...

Phase 1: Million dollar app idea
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit

pmed for xwhatsit

Have a decently near NIB 1986 Model-M and there are NO broken rivets on the back plate, have opened and inspected it personally. Just the fact that you have to mention this makes a point. It's like when talking about Alps and mentioning how clean and smooth they are. Both are keyboards/switches tha...

I wasn't even talking about stuff like personal preference and subjective key feeling and stuff What IBM has technically done to the brilliant Model F design in their reckless exercise in cost saving is just offensive. No matter what switch you personally prefer, the Model M was a nasty, thick spit ...

Very nice to get some support from fellow Danes

Here's my input: I don't care what you think about Model M's. I mean, you're just some person off in, what, Denmark? Looking down your nose at one of the most significant contributions to keyboard history? I'm sure that many keyboard innovations have emerged from Denmark, but for some reason I'm ha...

yeah, hail Zealios and hail BOX switches hm ? you're the first one to shit on the latter so I'm not sure if that last sentence was ironic or not :? Maybe they are, too, switches to look at then ... Just because I have a clear preference for a given switch type doesn't mean other people can't come t...

Intriguing. Are the housings one of the things cherry got so wrong until recently? I don’t have a reliable source of vintage housings, so my inner Everything Can Go Wrong and Will Go Wrong alarm is sounding. Naw I was just fed up with "vintage" housings occasionally giving me chatter issues. So I g...

Are they any good?

This is turning into a personal shopper experience for you eh?

What are you really expecting here?
Look at the switches people who build a lot of keyboards use in their builds.

We need a video with a comparision of old and new linear switches, black, red, custom weight, stickered, lubed, stock, vintage, nixie, stock, retooled, etc pp :( I don't think it's possible to bring across the subtle differences between all these switches. You can focus on one of the characteristic...

There's been a UK based GB of MX Silent Black switches a while ago and they were like ... roughly ... 0.35€ iirc

I bought a few thousand and mostly harvested them for the HOUSINGS ... if you are interested in some MX Silent Black stems let me know.

... No comparison to Cherry switches, though, you can get those at around 0.50-0.60€ per piece here in Germany. You've been missing some developments lately. The most popular Cherry switches currently, retooled MX Blacks, are commonly available on Arrow.com for (currently) 0.31€* and even cheaper i...

Okay so I _think_ the QFR and Rapid-i mark a big change in design. While the QFR was Costar stabs, the Rapid-i has Cherry style stabs. Norbauer cases are Rapid-i and Novatouch compatible as well as Masterkey (better double check that) but not QFR compatible. So I assume CM moved to a new case design...

You mean a G80-3000 + plate?

Yes! Practically a clone of the G80-3000 with a plate is what I had in mind.

But your main keyboard is supposed to be a Wyse WY-60.
That's pretty much a G80 with a plate and a bit weird layout

Afaik there are Wyse models that have more standard layouts.

I think matt3o once claimed he can poop better legends than the PBT doubleshots on the market today
