Wow. This is a veritable treasure trove of information. Thank you for blessing us with your experiences and thoughts, Dick!

>Provided we don't annoy the judge I suspect there is little point in presenting this thread to a judge and doubt it will ever happen but if you ever do please let us know what they say about this whole mess. Perhaps the judge themself could make an account and hell, maybe learn about keyboards whi...

Hi Dick! It is an honour to be able to communicate with you in some form. Many communities might not be as interested in an inventor of keyboards and switches, but here, it is an honor. I wanted to let you know that I think you have designed some of the greatest keyboard switches to have existed, an...

This is the worst thread on Deskthority. I recommend that it be fully nuked from metaphorical orbit.

It was better in my view when terrible DT threads were filled with Chinese Nationalist rants...

Guys, I have good news: China to the rescue! You can purchase Nyogel 760G , Threebond TB1855 , OKS-477 and Nyogel 774H on Taobao, so it's not that hard to get them anymore . Of course I secured my purchase of 477 and 774h before sharing the links :D ps: forgot to mention also that the links I share...

Hi! We looking for a witch-hunt? I'm the witch! You might think: why remove the original switches of this piece of history? 'Tis blasphemy! I was curious because they seemed unlike other mx whites I had seen before. They looked to be the "soft clicks". I took many pictures of them and decided that d...

Alps wire stabilizers can be rattly, have you tried giving them a heavy lubrication, like damping grease for example?

Harder to find a lot of these besides the box jades and the wyse parts. Good luck!

Surprisingly contact leaves and switch plate contribute significantly to switch feel.. I just swapped NOS housing and sliders, and still the difference is clear.. Switch plates can't contribute, they do not touch or have anny size difference AFAIK. Contact leaves though indeed they do. But that is ...

Quick, the new owner is away, let's play hide and seek!

First one to find the correct combination of changes to make DT perfect wins!

Use em every day. It's a part of my job, my recreation, and thus : My life.

Why not make it the best it can be?
At that point it gets like any other hobby and now I'm deep into it.

I must say. You had concerns of coming off as an intruder, and, given all prior information, it seemed as if you were. But, you gave a good introduction, if it is sincere, then you will have earned my respect, and I wish this forum and the wiki, and yourself, the best regardless. And, you have Webw...

I am not a chemist, but I think there is another important difference between the OKS and the 767A: the NyoGel is a dampening grease, which means it makes the sliding heavier and slower (slow internal shear), where the OKS is a lubricant grease which does exactly that, it lubricates, making the sli...

EDIT: WAIT NO I had normal cherry soft click clears, not NIXDORF...

This is tragic. Keep us posted

Hello, I am looking to purchase some OKS477 lubricant that can be shipped to central USA, so I can mix it with some nyogel to lube Alps switches. I can find the Nyogel here, but OKS seems to be something of a white whale stateside. Their office in the US closed down a while back and they don't seem ...

Webwit, you brought this site to us.
Thank you.
May it continue!

OKS 477 from German eBay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223126794930 Thank you! Ebay wants me to update my shipping address for that item when it is in my cart, however. Does that seller offer international shipping or only within Germany/EU? My apologies, I have not been able to put the page thr...

What I want is a good place to obtain the OKS 477 stateside. I've got a few alps restoration projects in my backlog and if this mix does as well as you say I need to acquire it somehow... And I can't find any sellers lol. You can always order it from ebay, there are some german sellers that ship ev...

Wow, that's lovely!
Good thought on the selection saving of configuration files.
Honestly, seems like a better solution than I would have thought!

I appreciate the work and effort you're putting into this, I am excited for that upcoming update. Great work on the icons you just got out, they look sweet. POS boards are fairly unique.

Well, I'll be. If nothing else 767a does sound promising from your results. This is gonna be a weird mix to procure I reckon.

my man, I'm happy to tell you that no credit is due here, this PCB was made by Evyd13, our good friend here simply used it, slapped his logo on, and put it up for sale. in fact, he did not even read the license and quite badly infringed it before getting a reminder that you should comply to it. els...

Let me go through my stuff, I have a few omnikeys I need to offload. Not prime condition ones anymore but some are still pretty good.

Despite any reputation you might have, I must give credit where it is due, this does appear to have many different options for compatibility with different keycap and stabilizer layouts, in a way that I have not seen much before. Maybe once I have finished my other projects I could see myself getti...

Oh wow, thank you! Yeah, I get what you mean regarding a good UI for that, though. Maybe you could use a checkbox, which when clicked, unhides a list of checkbox inputs and labels for all keyboards within selected groups? Sure, this might not be the prettiest, but it would be hard to make that many ...
