That is awesome! Do you think it might work on a keyboard, too? You probably wouldn't want to paint the caps of course, just the case.

Fullsize. I work in retail and need to type in lots of UPCs, Product IDs, etc. I would have a very difficult time without my number pad.

And I'm quite curious why there weren't that many mechanical keyboards that have those huge enter keys, as most rubber domes I've had all had huge enter keys. It might have been country of origin. These days, anyway, many of the mechanicals with the large Enter keys come out of Taiwan (IIRC). It mi...

How does it feel compared to a standard rubber dome?

I see what you did there.

I didn't believe they were painted either but a rep from Topre told me that "some cases are". I don't think he can speak speak for the HHKB but certainly the Realforce models. As Limmy says, why should it have to be white plastic painted black? There are different colour plastics you know...we have...

You might want to send an e-mail from Topre. I hear they paint their keyboards...

I have on good authority that HHKBs are not painted. Why don't you cut through the case and show us the white interior? Are we talking about black HHKB? I will be glad to cut it if you provide me with one. I didn't say they are white plastic painted black. I said they are black plastic finished wit...

I've had that happen using shelf liner. It's the bottom of the 'board; I don't care. If you're using isopropyl on ABS, it isn't paint you see, it's plastic. You may not care about the damages on the bottom, but haven't you considered that others might care? It is a damage that cannot be repaired, a...

Never. If I could bolt it to the desk, I would.

I’m appalled by the competent and professional manner in which this board is run. Shame on you, webwit, for informing users of downtime an communicating in an effective manner. Worst of all, no posts were lost and we weren’t treated to a roll-back of several days or more. You disgust me. This. WTF ...

Shelf liner. Always shelf liner. Cheap and works great. You can get a roll for about $1 USD.

Shelf liner.

Duh, that would make sense. My caffeine intake is deficient this morning. Still, Qwerkey's cap looks better. Different processes for different types of legending.

Tough choice.

I assume the SP cap is lasered with infill, too, correct? In any case, the Qwerkeys cap looks a lot better.

Here is a picture of an Acer switch. I can't view it at work, so I'm not entirely sure what it looks like.

I believe those are Acer switches (I can't seem to find a picture right at this moment to verify). They certainly are not ALPS of any variety that I know of, however.

It's a nice keyboard, to be sure. Acer switches are pretty decent.

If you think you're going to pull IBM M15 numbers by selling it... well... prepare to be disappointed.

FireFox and IE9 use DirectWrite, not ClearType. DirectWrite is an abortion. In order to have IE9 and FF render "correctly," hardware acceleration needs to be turned off. That's why I use Chrome. For added effect, I also use Mactype (a GL++ -like renderer): http://code.google.com/p/mactype/ BTW, my f...

I think there's a middle ground. You need certain aspects of capitalism to drive competition and stoke personal drive to do well and be productive (too much socialism can drive laziness). On the other hand, you need a certain amount of regulation and socialism to keep individuals' greed and irration...

Jesus. I remember why I left GH.

I hope it opens back up soon. I can't believe Webwit was so nice to you guys.

How does postage work? Typically, one pays a company, such as USPS in the US, to carry an item to another address. Letters and other documents may be placed in dropboxes for said post company and payment is generally tendered in the form of stamps purchased from the post company (actually, one pre-...

itlnstln missed his cue. Sorry, trying to start the process of buying a house. We found a place in Southtown we like that is going for dirt cheap. It was built in 1910, so I hope the inspection goes well. Our area of Texas is notorious for foundation problems with dry, rocky soil... DON'T DO IT!!! ...

My girlfriend uses blacks, man up!

I don't think I would share that with the others.

That happened to me this morning.

I think it was a tripas taco.

Is there a "Kitchen Isle"?

Yes (and it's rather nice at that):
