Apparently its sold now. Who bought it?

I don't know this LGR guy, but this is like buying a Ferrari reproduction and then talking about that it isn't a hatchback. Ok then.

Probably because other users didn't want it.

Relax, there's plenty of interest, and none of them is stupid - they want DT for its vibe and what it is and don't want to ruin that, and know exactly what would break it.

Sixty has finally been exposed as a LURKER!

What are your ideal qualifications for a new owner? Not asking personally, more just curious :) It doesn't work like that, if someone ponies up I shouldn't impose my personal ideals but it's theirs personal ideals. That said, there were unasked offers for DT before from parties just interested in h...

Just out of curiosity, what's the ballpark worth of such a site? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?

I bid 50 Drachma bitcoin!

Sold!

P.S. It's entirely up to matt3o (and the new owner) if and in what capacity he will remain in the team running the site. He's been an invaluable admin, and has been "the team" mostly by himself! For myself, I have no plans of disappearing. Actually this might give me more time for trolling Alps fanb...

Hi all. Deskthority was founded in Januari 2011, so it's been 10 years I've been pulling this baby. The last couple of years have been much easier, since Matt3o became the main administrator. Still, I'm finding myself no longer putting in the desired effort I'd expect from an owner, it's just the na...

Not integrated dome, that's 1st gen Cherry MY.

Someone should go back in time, and kill it right there, like Hitler.

I don't have a big right shift (but HHKB layout), but I had this issue slightly on the left shift and enter with Unicomp keycaps. However, it disappeared after some usage. So maybe these rough edges just needs to be broken-in.

I always have to laugh at the irony, when humans call other animals a pest. Is it hypocritical? Definitely. Ironic? Depends on whether you expected humans to be a pest or not :P I stand corrected on the semantics ;) Hypocritical and/or ironic it is. [unpopular opinion was unpopular] If we're lookin...

Pre-sorting and getting ready for grinding through restoration work for 2021. Mostly IBM finds and a few customer mail-in boards awaiting in the queue. ClickyKeyborards 2021 grind.jpg Clicky still going strong! As one of the originals you must be the longest serving veteran in this keyboard thing.

Looking at the photo, it's difficult to be sure, but seems you also got an M15 for xmas. Congrats!

"OK. Four keyboards is a max. Two daily-drivers. Two spares." Hey, I originally said three was my max.

I have approximately 20 keyboards, ATM.

Tell us about your father. Was he also a keyboard collector?

This is a closed meeting, you are welcome to stay if you have a desire to quit buying keyboards. If you have bought a keyboard in the last 24 ...

Definitely a skippyball. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few skippyballs in my time.

Congrats, the most beautiful beam spring!
