I'd love to try one of these, I bet it's nicer than my IBM Displaywriter.

MX reds were one of the great disappointments for me, in the recent past. Scrcrcrcrrrcrrccratchy. Cherry should have been ashamed of themselves. Those switches well and truly ruined the MX Board 6.0 let alone third party keyboards for several years there. I got a 100% oposite experience with my Leo...

The board is beautiful seebart :) Thank you very much, the keycap colors are much brighter in the picture though because of the flash. I love modern linear MX reds, a truly great switch from Cherry. The build quality of this Leopold is very high, really a joy to type on. One of my favorite "modern"...

Very nice indeed, much nicer than mine!

I can second the great build quality of leopold boards (have a fc660c with mx brown). The doubleshot PBT caps are truly excellent, I think I prefer them even over most OG cherry caps. Agreed! Both the Topre and Cherry boards are very sturdy! One of my hobby goals is to earn one some day! Just keep ...

Well, it's not an fc660c! I'm just teasing you, though =) Also I'm super jealous of that wingnut! One of my hobby goals is to earn one some day! I really just posted it to show of the wingnut. 8-) :lol: Of course mine has red Cherry MX's but the build quality is impressive! I'm sure the FC660C is o...

No, but it is blue/grey ! And pretty rude you are too. OK so I do admit is Cherry MX.

I happen to have one, but sorry I'd like to keep it I can tell you the linear red's feel very nice in that sturdy case!

See:

I store them in Muirium's basement in Germany!

I'll have a look if I still have a few of mine left but I doubt it.

Yeah agreed I got lucky with that one.

Agreed.

Impressive work ! Nice.

Good luck, sorry I'm not selling mine though!

I did own a beige barrel SSK years ago:

Uhh...possibly I can score some real nice Alps then... :evilgeek: Ha Orihalcon has already beat you to it! I've been proxying stuff for him for a few months now. :lol: :x Oh well that's how it goes in the mechanical KB world, of course I got KB's Orihalcon is crazy hot for :evilgeek: : https://desk...

Don't worry about it.

Normal around here.

No.

Hey, this thread is about IBM Model M! :mrgreen: More specifically, this thread is about expressing an elitist and arrogant contempt towards the Model M. What was IBM thinking? We're the tip of the keyboard elite, we deserve only the best ... Compromise is for the weak. Cost saving is heresy. I'm p...

Because grabcad requires you to create an account, I've uploaded a copy via Github here . By the way, does anyone know the dimensions for it? I'm trying to get it uploaded into Shapeways but I can't figure out the correct dimensions. Well OP should know. ;) I just seebarted you Blaise170. :mrgreen:

Don't even bring it up, some people are apparently hypersensitive about it.

It's got a funky name though: indiegogo.

Go for it. In your case make it something Alpsish.

I think snuci did that one. I have not posted any here in ages.

see! that's how bad they are! even their own threads cant keep on topic

Good one. It's called offtopicthority.

You know it really is shocking what a different spring can do to the tactility of cherry switches, I feel that the sweet spot for browns is around 60g, and the best for clears is 62-67g. there is a noticeable increase in tactility on browns when a heavier spring is installed, and clears with a ligh...

Very nice, I love my WANG...

My other WANG is really loud and clicky with the Omron B3G-S series switches:

I do understand there are some real benefity to the Model M ... Mostly availability and the layouts that are available. But that's no reason for me to embrace them. I really wish IBM kept making Model F keyboards as a premium alternative to their Model M keyboards. Instead, we're now watching all k...
