Well, it’s not my only keyboard. :oops: For a while, in the 2000s, this was: https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=72780 Always tempted to buy an old macbook just to use as a writing machine. It would be a pleasure to use as an electronic diary. Maybe once people stop trying to flog them ove...

You said new topre now comes better tuned. Did you try R3? Haven’t tried it yet myself, but current gen Snow Hybrid HHKBs are very well tuned, and from what I’ve heard about R3, they seem to be very much the same Hey Tom, are you selling one of your Topre boards? Black R1? :) I am yeh! Just sold it...

To give you an idea of pricing - there's two of these on Japan Yahoo at the moment - here is one with a buy it now https://www.sendico.com/ayahoo/item/m1086459984 Yours is in a bit better shape, so you can afford to drive up the price a fair bit. Though I don't know if 1000 would tempt enough people...

The Pro 2 is, in any colour you want, so long as it's black. ;) I can vouch for those: typing on mine now. Came exactly as new. It's worth using sendico / buyee to keep an eye on the japanese market because all the best deals seem to be there. Using sendico I can often get realforce or hhkb with sh...

The Pro 1 really isn’t much different, the only advantage being the slimmer profile (slightly) and very stiff domes. I have a 2012 pro 2 that has stiff domes as well, so you might as well buy a cheap pro 2 while you still can. £80 brand new is an incredible deal when you consider Chyrosrans number ...

Well, black ones. I still want a spare white one for my OCD devil’s private collection.

This wouldn’t cost much at all to import, you can under declare value with sendico and have it shipped for a few quid
Its a type S too!

Model F XT is a viable option except for the weird stepped caps. Model F AT is pretty much perfect with ANSI or ISO mod, and the alt mod is a cherry on top.

But the craving…

Let the devil on your shoulder guide you: Unicomp is to IBM what Niz is to Topre.

True although Unicomp feels closer to IBM than Niz does to topre imo

The existence of the mini M will satisfy my craving for a TKL BS board. Can’t say I would ever want to spend more on the original now

Too little and far too late. What a Great Idea releasing this style NOW when it's a full on recession, who's the idiot that came up with that idea instead of FIRST designing and making a standard 104 keyed model, from the very beginning? Bloody useless Einsteins who sit around and then decide to re...

I see why you're listing for the price you are - when you buy these things retail and then add deskeys' very expensive sliders, it's not exactly outrageous that you're wanting 299. However, R2s can be had for 140GBP brand new from an ebayer I've had good experiences with: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...

We know that ABS turns yellow from exposure to UV and heat. The point I was making is that there’s currently a discord community actively seeking out old Pro 1 and early gen Pro 2 boards that have turned near orange. Yellowing can look like shit on most boards, but on a HHKB it has a certain charm. ...

When you sell something, anything, you always try and get the most for it... That's just the way shit is. Selling it to a community member for what was probably significantly less than what daddys bitcoin spender Mr Oliver J Watt could afford isn't smart business. And after 10 years of running it, m...

under declare the value on sendico and you can have it shipped dirt cheap. Sadly it's not that easy, I found some stuff on Buyee, but the problem is the weight that makes shipping expensive and, even more, EU customs. Still a decent deal, but not within my budget I've always found sendicos shipping...

Just a matter of time now before Deskthority is redesigned into a period underwear e-commerce website for the middle east.
But more importantly, how's retirement webwit?

So long story short, Deskthority is fucked thanks to a shitty sale? Fantastic

When did you buy those deskey sliders? They revised the design and fixed the issue with crookedness not too long ago

I see, cool.
Do you like deskeys sliders? Any issues?

Honestly they are pretty much identical to the novatouch sliders, about time too after years of suffering from JTK and KBDFans sliders I would love to pick up a Neverest board from deskeys at some point, heard great things about them.

What kind of plate gaskets did you use in Novatouch? Do you still have yours? If so, sounds like you don't like it, I could take it off your hands :D I use these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003546105399.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt And the one I buy is the porons. They fit perfectly. My nov...

It wouldn’t shock me if both the Novatouch and Realforce RGB were Topre doing some tests. The Novatouch was far from perfect. The plate had a bit too much flex and made it feel less sturdy than a realforce. Plate gaskets help the overall sturdiness by reducing housing rattle, but the Novatouch stil...

Strange to think the rattly old NovaTouch—abandoned by both its parents more or less at birth—would be the one valued over its authentic Topre half-sibling. So much for that bright MX Mount future they had for a while there! Well said :) It is strange, as to be honest my feeling is that Topre is be...

I think because its a full keeb, people may not want to buy it. Mostly people look for TKL, but even those, believe me, nowadays don't sell quickly. I have 4 Realforces for sale and they don't move. Freaking economic crisis... That, and these RGB realforce boards are expensive to mod to make them s...
