In 1-2 months we'll be able to buy full steel Model F style assemblies for FSSK/FEXT builds. Basically you'd just take an existing 101 or SSK Model M, pull the caps and stabilizers, open the case, pop in the new assembly, close the case, replace stabilizers and caps, hook up a USB A to B cable, and...

No, the thread can continue to exist and to ruin every good eBay deal, found by anyone, ever. I just hope that there will be an alternative, so that the people who have lost every desire to share anything in that thread can post the good stuff elsewhere. Just, anywhere it's not viewable, searchable,...

For me it's not so much the product I despise but his intention. He knows the topic of mechanical keyboards has been gaining traction in the past few years, especially but not exclusively in the PC Gamer crowd. He has no deep knowledge of the topic which shows in his articles, hence why he comes her...

That means, HHKB layout but with three more keys in the bottom row, like the infinity keyboard?

Exactly, it's very sensible and ergonomic especially for Germans to use.

Very nice. Adding a custom controller is something I wanted to do until idollar's FSSK and Ellipse's Model F keyboards surfaced. Which incidentally should be perfect for you if you prefer F but the form factor of the SSK. Have you taken a look? https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/f-ssk-t10744.html I...

No, that was hardly a review. That was advertising. The thread should be moved into the "stuff we don't want" subforum. Or, simply, deleted.

Does the FTC know about your illegal operation? You're required by law to disclose that Das paid you for a fake-review. Or are you going to claim the "native advertising" route? Why the fuck would he care? Why do a lot of Americans assume they are the centre of the universe and everyone must abide ...

Any chance that Canada counts as CONUS? I'm afraid that won't be your only problem if you want in: Have at least 500 posts (you can try applying without this, but your chances of getting in are very slim unless I have extensive experience with you) Have at least 1 year of membership under your belt...

Exactly. I wouldn't have got into the hobby, recently spending almost 250€ on a Whitefox recently, if it hadn't been possible to start much cheaper. Five years ago I was doing some research online and was about to drop about 60 bucks on some "high quality" membrane keyboard when I found out that key...

Shameless plug indeed, reflinks included. Sorry, I will not read more from your blog. One reason is that it's plastered with reflinks (get a job, damn). Another reason is statements that are inaccurate or incorrect, or completely subjective, including: a 4° incline, offering a nice ergonomic typing ...

The plastic and metal sandwich of a regular Model M or SSK cannot be opened by default, this has do be done during a nut & bolt or screwmod. But you can take out the stabilizers without opening the whole assembly using two q-tips. With the new M and SSK assemblys, those will already have screws to o...

Ooh, this is quite an interesting topic that I'd nearly missed: definitely interested in an SSK or two if they're easy enough to adapt to ISO layout. They should be, being able to open the barrel frame means being able to move flippers and stabilizers around, and even adapt the layout to your prefe...

Edit: So I just donated some money ... Or did I rather pay some money so that people finally start taking me not serious for the right reasons? Not sure right now, sadly. Not everyone who has donated/paid membership is taken seriously. Not everyone who hasn't donated/paid membership isn't taken ser...

What are you trying to prove? You cannot ignore that this thread is the most viewed and most replied to in the history of DT. And some people are getting the feeling that so many people looking at the "great finds" every day make the finds not so great anymore because suddenly everyone has access to...

Ah, I see.
I used to type ISO-DE with swapped Y and Z to make switching between ISO and ANSI easier.

OleVoip, how do you apply this layout in the real world?

From what I have read, your layout would be a QWERTY ISO layout but with a bit-paired number row of symbols, more similar to ISO-DE symbols?
That is, !,",#,$ and so forth, and ( ) on 8 and 9?

True, but it gets too many hits from "outside" people. For example, ebay sellers trying to cash in. It needs to be restricted in some way.

Yes Nuum, that's what I thought also should people decide club members only is too harsh. How about this. Keep the current thread, but make it visible to members only. In fact, make the whole marketplace members-only. Make a second thread in the club members section. Post the bestest of stuff in the...

Yeah, I and a few others felt the same way, bocahgandul, and this discussion comes up again every so many months. But in the end, nothing comes out of it. I see that you're having a hard time spelling out my username :lol: Well you could just call me seal cause its easier 8-) Cmon guys we need to f...

matt128, yes, because Cherry switches are .65€ a pop usually and even those not into brown switches will take them off your hands if the price is right. Since you're in Australia though, you should probably try to sell locally, or else kill a good price with high shipping costs.
Try mechmarket!

I have an idea, maybe use really thin velcro strips then you can open and close the board as many times as you like

Yeah I did. There was a piece where some programmer advocated against swapping Caps and CTRL, he argued that it's more ergonomic to hit CTRL with your palm. You do the same with Shift, not a bad idea honestly but I just can't get used to it :) Edit: Ah found it: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/swap_CapsL...

Nice. Do the two parts stick together? How do you open it?

Good idea to add home+end keys instead of insert like on the FC660. Like, who the fuck uses their insert key?

The iso button right of lshift is awesome as layer1 imo Good idea, I need to try that. Currenty my pinky has to reach up to Caps for fn1. >< | is a very underused key anyway given its prominent position. Where do you map that key then? Hm, just tried it and don't like it overall. It's a very good i...

I use Windows and I still prefer having both Winkeys.

I need the left one for running Win+E, Win+X, Win+R and Win+TAB.
And the right one for locking the machine (Win+L) at work with one hand.

I'm a fan of the menu/apps key and since I use it often I've mapped it to FN+Tab.

Wish I HAD some of dat goodness! Lovely.

If you are done sandblasting let me know, and I'll send you my shiny HAD kit to sandblast so you don't get bored!

Shift in the bottom row???

That reminds me of a funny image someone posted on an asian (I think) keyboard forum.
He used a OG Cherry set and filled the whole bottom row with 1.25u ISO shift keys as a moogle kit
Can't find it right now.

Yeah, I and a few others felt the same way, bocahgundul, and this discussion comes up again every so many months.
But in the end, nothing comes out of it.

Edit: spelling
