Very nice, my dude - glad you had fun with the project!

bump!

Looking for new or like new GMK Shoko set with the spacebar addon. PM if you or anyone you know is looking to sell this set!

Thanks!

all sold!

I've seen boards like that come with blue alps - but it honestly could be anything. hard to see cap profile at that angle.

The packard bell kinda looks like Packard Bell KFCLEA916A with skcl browns except the lock light bank is different so I doubt it. I don't know anything else that it could be however. The case is a different shape, so I don't think it's that board you are mentioning. https://imgur.com/a/S2d5OkQ is a...

anyone here snag it? That price, while insane for one keyboard, seemed good for what it is.

Not me, that's for certain! I'd guess not even Mr. Duul would get it at that price!

I'm certain he would, but then sell it for twice as much

My hunch is more than 2k - and in fact, I expect Karl will be getting, if he hasn't already, PMs with offers for it, hahaha.

Holy.... dude this is absolutely amazing. It's astounding how good of a condition the innards look, too. The foam looks pretty good and the barrel plate looks cleaner than most IBM ATs! This is a legendary item drop in MMO terms - the rarest of the rare! Awesome find, dude!!! Regarding your first qu...

Meh. Sport is competition with above average skill involved. A football/hockey/tennis match between people with very average skills is still sport. Yeah no. We're calling it that to feel better about ourselves. Random match between friends, some jogging, skiing on vacation. None of it is sport in m...

See, snacks, Khers gets it =)

hahahahahahaha <3

I've linearised some SKCM Blues. Much better that way. I find the vague tactility of linear Alps pretty nice. Then again, I guess I could've just bought SKCL Greens. But, what's the fun in that? I did that too! I went all the way with one of them - full on SKCL housing with the LED slot in it. True...

The smash community is one of the most toxic despite being played primarily offline.

The competitive scene is quite embarrassing ATM, I agree =(

Ah yeah, that's true - you'd need two with blue alps, hahaha. That's awesome you have a VHS camcorder, BTW. My dad had one growing up, but he didn't use it much.

You will definitely hear from me the next time I make my way down south!

You flatter me - all I do really is de-rust/paint mounting plates and solder in different switches - I've never done anything as cool as fortifying cases! Your work is much more impressive =) You can ignore this request if things are busy, but I would very much be interested in hearing a before-and-...

Consoles are a pathetic excuse for a gaming platform and controllers are the worst input devices in recorded history.

But....but super smash bros!

That fix is pure badass - very nice work. I'm a fan of the ANSIfication as well! Nice work, man!!

I would like to hear about this fix!

An eBay outlier in the opposite direction! Could someone please enlighten me why this went for three times the usual price?

PBT ANSI layout alps caps have caught fire. This is probably around current market value I’d imagine.

It’s been painstakingly designed to be as close to the real deal as possible, and costs a small fraction of what a real one would go for, though!

It could very well be a case similar to what you mention: some old switches were found in their warehouse so they exhausted their stock on some of the newer boards. But even if that's the case, for the switches to have no branding at all is relatively unique, even for alps, isn't it?
