Sounds good, thank you.

What's the full weight of the case without switches or keycaps? Or without the whole plate assembly?

edit: I'm mostly interested in comparing the weight to other cases I have, like tray-mounts and such.

Such shameless promotion!

Build them yourselves, it’s better for your wallet and more fun

yes!

That's really cool! I considered doing something similar, but with a bigger form-factor keyboard. How is the joystick to use? Is it a competent pointing device? Btw - I think the clearance between keys should be 19.05mm. Don't remember specifically. But there are online plate builders that do a bett...

just saying

How did you get the plate done?

Ouch. That's a pain. I'd forgotten about that. Maybe we can tempt you with an all bent aluminium custom case that can house standard PCBs instead? When is a keyboard still a keyboard? I’ve no purpose in buying another MX board. Indeed, I’d rather just shift these parts. Replacing the lot of them wi...

It's funny how you managed to take all of those rare and interesting parts (SKCL brown, Alps DSA Granite, etc) and when all put together it almost looks like a stock board with a keycap swap.

Nice build!

Ouch. That's a pain. I'd forgotten about that.

Mu, you can get 60% PCBs off of aliexpress for pennies these days - I can recommend the XD60. It's a big step up from hand-wiring!

You've been away for a while Mu! There are plenty of Chinese shops with some great stuff for cheap nowadays. KPRepublic is one of the better ones. I bought alpha sets of their Russian and Japanese caps and they are pretty fantastic for the price. $30 shipped for a standard Filco TKL, or pay about $6...

Looks like a standard DIN5 - might be XT protocol? You should try to build the Soarer's converter that Mu mentioned. If it's XT, it'll work right away with it.

PMing

I can't help but notice that these seem pretty expensive -- especially vs. eg the bags that are sold along with the TX60s from Kin25, which sell for $45, and are really sturdy with foam.

Damn, you finally win MrNobody, this is the tipping point - surely the end of Western Civilization.

Seems like an spam account. None of the replies that this user wrote make any sense in their context. Just report it. Replying makes it harder to clean up.

Maybe that's why my ADB converter never worked.

I haven't looked in a while, will try to dig them up for you!

Edit: ahh my info is outdated, it looks like they ran out actually! They had loads in stock last I checked and kept restocking them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/blackwaterte ... 2749.l2754

If the prices are the same, then it's still a great deal for lots of smooth MX blacks and good UK doubleshots. But the seller seems to have pretty much unlimited stock. :D Good for everyone. Those dyesubs are really nice. Must be a G81-3000 SAG set. I bet they'd sell if you decide to sell them. Not ...

Need to remember to grab one of those the next time I'm in the USA.

I guess it's worth more parted out /in theory/ but you'll have a hard time selling UK caps to people outside of the UK -- all of which can just just buy them on eBay. The switches on those are really nice though, they clean up really well.

Your diodes are pointing upwards - wires should go vertically and diodes should go horizontally. Use jumper wires to wire from the end of a diode to the next one.

It has 2KRO so I would be surprised if it was worth more complete. Not sure though.

I don't know why someone would buy it higher than the eBay listing price though, aren't they still in stock?

Looks pretty bad. If there's a plate included, it's not even attached to the case. It's like an upside-down TX60. Not at all a fan.



Didn't zslane design that?

edit: MD says it has an alu plate but it's only visible in one picture?

Good to hear from you again.

I'm interested in the Cherry manuals, how much for shipping inside the UK?

What exactly do they have in them? Are there a few pages or just the covers shown?

So Compgeke, can you give us a review of the typing feel etc? I have been waiting years for an unbiased third-party review from someone that I know.

A side-by-side comparison maybe? Typing video?

Same as Wodan here - was clueless about the PHP stuff. It’s hard to be enthusiastic about an ancient PHP monolith, I guess.

Maybe one of the trendy new forum softwares would work better, as Wodan said. But it’s not really for me to decide. I don’t have the time to volunteer.
