are #17 Alps or clones?

I occasionally fly DCS, the MIG 21 in there has this beautiful colour. There is a successor to ROF in the works, based on the current IL2:BOx series. @consolation: No hate from my side, promise :) In other news, my replacement int kit arrived at the local tax office, if all goes well I will report ...

Looks good, the red dye in these caps really plays havoc with colour balance on cameras... maybe it's reflecting lots of infra-red?

Seller has two tek keyboards for ~100US$ If you're out of AUS/NZ I can help you proxy - but shipping isn't cheap.

That's it... Seriously, that mag is 90% advertising. Given its name I was expecting something bit more meaty.

These are not the bold fonts that you are looking for. Nobody has been discussing taxes or shipping in this thread recently before you straw man wielding apologist jedi turned up. So please get lost again :P How to know when you are an apologist: consolation.PNG At last, it seems like our complaini...

APL IBM keys - but.. are they stickers!? Or, did they put sellotape to protect them? Not sure what's up with this,

PS. Just flicked through the last couple of pages and while I understand the criticism leveled at MD, I really think it's way overblown. From my personal experience; they have been amazing at shipping to the antipodes, something many companies run screaming from. Any problems I ever had were fixed w...

Since the colour of the triumph mods didn't quite come out very "Triumphy," I had this nagging feeling like it reminded me of something... I was browsing through some other ICs and then it struct me.

Decent thickness, definitely PBT as they haven't yellowed with the board, I think dye sub or pad print? Not sure about the second part, tbh. because they are essentially shells, you could 3D print adapters for any other mount and clip them around the outside IBM buckling spring style.

Interesting (assuming they are from the auction I looked at,) the seller said they were clicky, which went against everything on the net; I think there was a bit of a language barrier tbh. From my understanding, the software is only necessary if you want to use Japanese input or program the function...

having a longer page, with all the various subtypes that can be found under the model number / name, is much more useful than individual pages which can be easily missed Maybe others have a different preference and like a separate page instead of ending up half way a long page. The point is; it'll ...

The wiki is often accessed by people trying to ID a keyboard prior to buying; having a longer page, with all the various subtypes that can be found under the model number / name, is much more useful than individual pages which can be easily missed. The most desirable models tend to come up nearer th...

Tactile white SKFS Alps function & numpad - just need adb adapter or usb conversion.

Edit: eh... I moved the file off-site

As someone who tried to see if hot-snot might be an option with a model M, it doesn't work at all; the metal plate is a giant heatsink and the glue cools too quickly to bond with anything properly.

PS2 Fujitsu leaf spring

Note that missing from the image are the row assignments. They are R1, R2, and R3 (top to bottom). That arrangement does not seem conducive to an ErgoDox setup to me, even with two copies of it. Bear in mind that the blanks kits are very much works in progress, but the amounts of keys of each size ...

It always seemed to me that, if you set up your blanks kit correctly, you can get it to cover one hand of the ergodox mods. So ergodox users just order x2 blanks - so many blank kits are literally one or two keys short of being able to do that. Minimal effort to increase potential buyers? I could be...

That's awesome, maybe remove one blank kit and replace it with an ergodox kit?

Usually, the arrow keys are bound to a function layer. You could do modern and put a capacitive sensor under a key or trim. Have it send key codes instead mouse data when you move your finger, kind of, like a clit mouse.

If I can make a design suggestion - just keep the rocket logo on the top face; put the brand/model on the back edge (far edge from the user.) It will make it look less busy and reward the user for picking up and interacting with the object.

LIttle known fact: Chyros is actually a user mod of Virtual Waifu that's being used, by a consortium of Alps owners, to drive up the price of their keyboards.

This is bit out of left field but, AvE might be worth considering. He is fanatical about high end injection moulding and tools made to last. If this gets uncle bumblefuck's blessing, you are going to get a whole new population of recruits...

It's amazing what you get sub 100$ nowadays.

Just when I thought I was getting jaded with key caps...

That is awesome.

Have you thought about having the colour match the jukebox set's green. That way, people can use the TKL kits from there and Jukebox owners (yeah, this is a totally self serving suggestion) can use this set for alphas- if they want to go all teal~green. If you are going with PBT instead of ABS, it g...
