Because this Group Buy is totally alt of control.

I could hear the kitten die.

I wonder how many got backup keyboards, but no backup of their data...

Do Topre switches have some kind of keystroke rating like the 50 million for Cherry MX?

I am typing on this right now, and sometimes I accidentally touch the pin, which - due to my miserable hacking skills - activates another layer with k,l and i as mousebuttons. That is a clever idea. Maybe it'll work better if you delay the layer activation. Let's say you hit the trackpoint and it a...

Those who chose the SYM700/ANSI700 layout: What key/layer mapping will you be going for?

And it's back.

Too bad the forum is down. At least we can enjoy the extensive wiki again:

Ich habe einigen Schaden angerichtet, weil ich nicht wußte, daß die eingelöteten LEDs selbst bei "PCB mount switches" das Öffnen verhindern. Es ist halt schaise, wenn man nicht zuerst an irgendwas wertlosem üben kann. Interessant. Welche Tastatur hat PCB-mounted switches und Hintergrundbeleuchtung,...

I'd like to see SSL implemented as well.

I can't find the 75g version. I've got the Omron version in 75g in stock, but not yet listed. I people are interested, I can stock the 150g version from Cherry. Omron is a high quality manufacturer, so this would be no disadvantage and both have the same measures. Do you have Omrons with angled pin...

Oh, you snatched that ALPS board recently?

Wow, that resistor array surely was fun to solder! /s

Wäre am shared shipping interessiert. PM'd.

Yeah, the Kailh Browns feel almost linear to me.

Do you have an idea when production will be done?

The keyboard looks really solid and heavy. Nice! Also has a good looking wrist rest.

Video from CES:

I've used a knife (read: thin sheet of metal/plastic) to open up some Kailh switches. Stick it between the top housing clip and the bottom of the switch and try to lever the clip up using the knife blade. I only did this to a handful of switches, don't how it is for a complete keyboard. o3zZz2P.jpg ...

Cherry indeed takes longer because there are many more orders from keyboard manufacturers than a few years ago. :roll: I hope they can step-up their production in the near future. I feel like they'll be overrun by the Chinese switch manufacturers in both quality and quantity. For example Truly Ergo...

Ah, thanks! I find it appealing as well.

Why are the MXLOCKs delayed? Does Cherry take so long to manufacture them? Or aren't there enough orders? If so, how many do we still need?

You mean this: Taken from a Reddit thread.

No, the address labels are typeset in LaTeX.

Ah, I was a bit confused there.

Wait, are you parsing the orders with Latex?

I'd too be interested in the Trackpoint stem.

7bit wrote: ↑If you definitely want one, you should change your order. If there are enough orders, both versions will be produced.

Done.

Ok, I'm in for trying a trackpoint with this keyboard and be willing to chop up some keycaps. :evilgeek: 7bit, do I need to change my order or will all plates have trackpoint holes? Can someone recommend me a trackpoint I can get for this? The only one I could find is an expired group buy for a Tex ...

Plates: At least the more useful ones will be available, but surely not those that have 0 orders. :-) At this rate, the 2 HYPER/MICRO/SYM100 might come with a trackpoint hole. One of the SYM100 should be mine, and I certainly don't mind a trackpoint hole. Thanks for the info! I guess the other one ...
