Man, I'd say yes but... They are so hideous

photekq wrote: ↑What kinda browns? From which board?

Still the same ones - from a G80 11800. Let me remind you that these were not good enough for you

photekq wrote: ↑ Not interested in G80-8200s with them, or G80-1180x's. Already tried them, not satisfied. I guess they're not old enough

That's one of the "cumb" ones, til last week or so you got 2 of those for 10€ (or even less) shipped. Truth! The scratched out logo on top is a dead giveaway. Although the "old days" of buying them for 2-3€ are over. CUMB.de went down quite a while (over a year?) ago. They sold at amazon.de for a w...

ISO-DE CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid, MX red
Nordic CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid, MX red
(half a year old, caps cleaned although barely used)

ISO-DE G80 3000 with Browns, anyone?

Welcome!
Is this the same 'zuglufttier' that also dabbles in audio equipment?

davkol wrote: ↑Isn't yours already modded to ergo clears?

It is, and I'm trying them out for a while longer. I have another G80 3000, though, that is currently empty without springs or stems.

Does anyone think there's a value in modding a G80 3000 to browns? I really dislike the browns and wonder if it would increase the resale value if I added them to the G80, as that board isn't sold with browns. The other option would be to fit it with black stems and springs, as I have a ton of those...

I guess it's the older one - the IBM logo is on the other side.

http://www.ebay.de/itm/2-riesige-Kartons-voll-mit-tastaturen-ca-50-stuck-Neu-/251819512344 Maybe some nice surprises in there! ;) (The text says there are two boxes full of about 50 Keyboards) I think most of them look to be the predecessor to this one: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/IBM-PS-II-KEYBOARD-MOD...

If he expects people to shell out some 50 pounds he might as well clean it first...

Cherry Spacesaver ML4100 Looks in very good shape. How do ML switches feel like? I've seen a video review on youtube and the guy wasn't that crazy about these switches. He found the MLs in this model to be kind of scratchy, so he lubed the switches. I've only tried MX browns and blues from the Cher...

Not cheap, but since you are looking at building something yourself definitely check out the Tex Yoda, as it has a Trackpoint... (out of all the names for it, you chose the least appropriate one )

Aaaaand it's gone... Doing the dishes first was a mistake

I've bought this kind of screwdriver kit on ebay, it contains the 5.5 hex screwdriver for the model M. That may not work. The socket needs to be "long" and "thin-walled" to fit the narrow well that it goes down into. I have an almost identical looking hex driver, same exact shape only the handle is...

Come on guys... Not a fan of the space bar either but if we are comparing Orions and Razers might as well throw the Apex in there to be fair!

But if I go with the Logitech keyboard, I am going to want a matching mouse. Why? What benefit is there other than similar logos and the fact that you give more money to one manufacturer, instead of two? If I had to get a new mouse I'd definitely get something that has a good optical sensor with fl...

Nice, but where do you put it and what do you do with it? Is that what people buy after they get their 60% keyboards?

There are some RARE occurences when 2KRO does not suffice for me. In this case, 6KRO is more than enough. But a lot of the time it has more to do with combining a very close cluster of keys with modifiers. Such as WASD and CTRL, Shift. Some manufacturers go so far as to INTENTIONALLY screw up that c...

I'd also buy this over the shine, and any of the boards I listed, except the realforce. Why wouldn't you prefer a TKL realforce? Because you have a HHKB?

Hey, it does have a case of aluminium, but it is cast aluminium and it is thicker than other cases. That is really the true standout feature of this board. The font on the caps is terrible and the back-light is way too bright, case looks nice. I agree, the font is not for everyone, but the intensit...

Is your G80 PCB mount? I know next to nothing about Cherry's boards (boo!) except they did a lot of that. It is! As far as I know, all G80 keyboards except for the newer 3800 and 3850 (Cherry MX-Board 2.0 and 3.0, respectively) are PCB-mounted. Anyway, I guess you need to stick something in sideway...

O keyboard oracle,
Why is it that the caps on a new G80 fit so tightly that I pull off the entire switch top when trying to pull just the caps? How do I take these apart gently without pulling off a switch and wrecking the entire thing?

Self-promotion...
Why don't you offer it in the marketplace before putting it on eBay?
