MechGreenhand was nice enough to provide me with a copy of the Plum Nano 75 English Instruction Manual.

So others can easily get a copy, I thought I'd upload a PDF copy of it here (attached to this post).

Cheers all

I bought it through mech greenhand's Aliexpress page. How do I contact Steven Dong? Will he help me if I bought it from someone else? I think that's who MechGreenhand is, no? Not sure if he would or not, but he's always been super helpful in answering my questions. Maybe, if nothing else, he could ...

Where'd you buy it?
AliExpress?

EZ Mandarin on there is where I got mine and Steven Dong is very responsive and could likely assist.

@zslane: Thanks - I'm definitely out on the lube thing.
Need to stay in my skill lane - haha

And what type of lube? Where does one get that? Edit: Nevermind - Not sure I'm going to go down the lube route. This Nano 45g is way way way less scratchy than my 35g Plum 84 was. Super smooth for some reason. I have to say - I think RealForce is really missing a market by not providing more of thes...

Can you guys talk more about the lube process for this?
I've never done anything like that before - Big challenge?

Thx

I don't think so - Was no Nano branding on the page I bought mine from or the box/etc that arrived IIRC

You should also mention that these guys should get some of all the Plums in the hands of N American resellers in quantity. I think there's a continent that would eat them up, but are turned off by having to source through AliExpress and wait for weeks, etc..

Also wanted to add, that the Bluetooth is working flawlessly for me to my MacBook. No lag at all - Works just as perfectly as the Magic Keyboard next to it (also w/ BT).

That must have been fixed at some point as I recall reading complaints about lag on this unit.

I would be into a black 45g, for sure!

My Plum 75 45g arrived today! Good lord is it great - Different that legit Topre (I've which I've had most), but for $125 shipped it simply can't be beat! You will not be disappointed if you get one and have that in mind. I had a Plum 84 35g before but wanted to go narrower and this thing is perfect...

Just bought one. Excited. Been waiting for these particular Plums as I want as narrow of a keyboard as possible to keep the mouse in close.

Is AliExpress basically the only place to get one of these?

The scrolling on the CST is the one thing I thought sucked about it.

I wish they'd make a version with some scrolling mechanism on the side so you didn't have to reach beyond the ball.

Thank you for that idea!!

I never realized they made that model at all!

Just grabbed a NIB one for $70

I guess what I meant was that I wish MS made a mouse in the exact old shape/style of the ball mice, but just with optical guts. The really old Intellimouse feels just amazing to me in hand.

Would anyone prefer used but original old IBM/Lexmark Model M keys? I may be able to get a hold of about 20 keyboards. They would probably be around the same cost.

I personally would prefer new everything even if that means slightly inferior Unicomp caps

Yeah, Gray/Blue with uniform 55g key weighting

Just like this one (not mine - mine has never left the box or plastic - 100% brand new unused)

This whole thing is VERY exciting!

Can not wait!!

I have a brand new in box (never used) Realforce 87u 55G 10th Anniversary.

Any ideas?

Just wanted to chime in that I *also* absolutely love the shape and feel of the very old Intellimouse going all the way back to the one that had no scroll wheel at all. Man I would LOVE if they ever made a new version that's purposely retro/vintage in shape/ergo, but with an optical sensor in it. @z...
