my keyboard, made as a semi shitpost for a 4th of july thread. these caps were indeed dyed by berserkfag. I still have the esc key kicking around somewhere. Surely you could have done better than that. https://webwit.nl/input/keycaps/colored5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0yZz8m4.jpg I really want this c...

Anyone still have photos of berserkfan's dye jobs? I recall there being some monstrosities in there. Disclaimer: I would not mind one bit if that bastard got hit by a bus after what he did. :evil: Unfortunately not, but those must be some of the worst mods done to anything ever. He offered me one i...

You're welcome! Good luck hunting for nixies

(though in all seriousness, vintage blacks is the same thing)

You haven't seen the worst one...

Mmm, that quality paint! The hallmark of a true craftsman...

Just leaving these here...

No! Don't do it!

@Khers Well the list is gone as I think it’s better to leave the question open and ask Topre users for their favorite. Favorite MX switch as opposed to Favorite Topre replacement. But I didn’t include Zealios in the poll as I felt the comparable Zilents were closer to the Topre feel than Zealios du...

The MX switches I like the best are Nixies and vintage blacks, with a spring swap to lighter springs. Those linear MX switches are really rather good, while I find both tactile and clicky MX, regardless of type, rather lacking in comparison to the alternatives like Topre and capacitive buckling spri...

Keep in mind that just because you like Topre, you might not enjoy the most Topre-like MX switch. I personally really like Topre, but tactile MX are not my cup of tea. At all. Hence, almost all MX-switches I own are linear; and all the better for it.

Are we supposed to own the keyboard in question?

Comparing Topre to MX directly is just not a good thing to do, in my opinion. There is literally nothing that compares directly to it in MX or Alps. There are more membrane switches that feel far closer to Topre than any MX/Alps variant I've ever tried. The switch construction, the difference in ho...

in all seriousness, glad you finally got one and you like it.

@cookie: Thanks! chip chop is correct, it's a HHKB-layout X60.

YES!

I researched that when it happened, looking at the logs and all. You'll never guess it. :twisted: Okay, Szabad a gazda (the farmer is free, this is what we say in hungary when we don't know the answer to a quiz question at a game or something and we want to hear the answer), what is the answer (Khe...

Have you tried clicking one of the buy now-links? What does that page tell you? What oco sells is nothing other than sa. Now, if the question is a more general "what is the difference between sa and hi-pro?", it would be impossible to answer as, as others have pointed out to you, many different prof...

We're merely stating that your question isn't a question as what oco is referring to as hi-pro is sa and thus this hi-pro and sa would feel the same as they are, in fact, the same.

From the product page for hyperfuse:

Last year we launched hi-pro HyperFuse, and we are bringing it back in Pro 1-1-2-3-4-4.

That would imply that whatever they launched last year was what they call Hi-Pro, thus it's SA and they just don't care enough to be stringent.

The product page urls say sa-sets and sa-whatever. My take home message is that it would be the same horrible sa profile and I don't get where you get the notion it would be something else from.

I can't say that I appreciate reddit either, the SNR is incredibly poor, particularly as the noise gets upvoted so that is what you see. Yadda yadda yadda, Topre is a rubreh domeh. The fact that, as others have testified, the information provided is seldom of the highest quality only serves to make ...

Lectori Salutem. I tried to establish a decent price for a model F 5291 Bigfoot keyboard for a while now. The prices I found on the internet differ from 180$ to 40$. I believe DT is the place to get a real and honest price indication. What is the value of this not-so-easy to find keyboard, with or ...

There are far better things in life to be stressed over than keyboards. Calm down. What's wrong with your Zenith anyway?

A 6u MX spacebar would fit if you use the stabiliser wire from the Leopold. It is at least true for the HHKB:

Want to tell everyone how much you charged me for an F122?

Please tell me $620

1.75u shift is part of the kit, see OP.

I have no objection unless "code" or blanks are used.

scottc wrote: ↑Why are so many DT threads ending with people deleting their posts now? Who cares if we think that someone overpaid for something? The F122 in this thread certainly wasn’t for me and I do believe that $600 was too much for it but I don’t think it’s worth acting like an angry mob over.

I agree 100%.

I haven't had any issues with my ultrasonic bath either. It really makes cleaning all sorts of things way easier, particularly delicate items you wouldn't want to hit with a brush.

It's a nice minimal approach to convert all kinds of US sets onto WKL bottom rows in general, as well as split right shift (+ HHKB). Threw together how this would look with a regular ANSI set. You can tell the original keycaps from the yellowed legends. up.jpg //e It's not like I can't stand the de...
