This site makes me feel like I’m the only one that loves model M and F (F over M), but only in short bursts. I can not imagine using these boards full time. HHKB is a modern, usable, every day non stop board. To me at least. You aren't the only one, I love them too but I can't use them full time. F...

I'm alive. Indeed, 2019 is probably the worst year I've ever experienced. But I hope to start being active around here again. Anyone who has needed me in the meantime... Sorry for the delays.

Whatever happened to me? Well... Real life is as terrible as ever. Not much else to elaborate on. I'm sure other people can relate.

For what it's worth, Matias just made an update in the 60% thread on Geekhack that PBT keycap creation is finally finishing up. I'll believe it when I see it, but I actually believe that he is close. Dyesubbed? Yeah and he said that they should fit most layouts and will be sold separately. Hopefull...

Bought a KBP V80 and blue Vortex case. Will eventually swap in blue Alps and blue keycap set.

Hard to say. I might guess foam and foil but I'm not even confident of that.

Keyboards have become a money making scheme to a lot of people which really ruins the fun for us nerds. I dont live near any recycle centres so the best chance I have of getting cheap mechanical boards is via ebay, and that place is plagued with reddit guys looking to profit from boards they got fo...

Unfortunately no, it's been on the backburner. Too much other stuff going on in life right now.

A box that doesn't take as much space in my trunk so that I can actually put in my subs finally...

How much would a Japanese AEK go for these days? I remember selling my NIB JP version for $100 a few years ago but it seems AEKs have gotten more expensive for some reason.

Imagine that. This is the first time I've logged in for a couple of weeks. For some reason I don't have a whole lot of desire to visit anymore. That's not to say anything about Deskthority, it's still my home, but I suppose keyboards just don't mean as much to me anymore.

G'Day DTers, AT Mechaincal Keyboards website noticed they are selling a variety of newly made Alps switches and here is the precise list of what they are selling there; ALPS KSB-C (never heard of it before). ALPS Brown (comparable to the old Browns sold on Flebay, have no idea) ALPS Red (Guessing i...

Damn it! I just spent $160 on eBay yesterday.

These are somewhat common. It's probably an Acme K8, though this one looks ever so slightly different than the usual one. There is an incomplete entry on the wiki for it.

There's no keysets currently manufactured to replace these with. You could do about 90% with one of Tai Hao's keysets though.

How much are you looking to pay for them? I can sell some.

I'm actually rewatching the Office again right now, but $600 for a rubber dome keyboard? No thanks. I know it's a movie prop and all, but I don't find it that interesting.

I'm just old enough to have experienced the rise and fall of MySpace; before then I was quite active on forums and I think the first forum I ever joined was Gamewinners back in late 1999 or 2000. On most forums I've never been quite as active as here though, I can only count a handful where I have m...

I'm one of those people who will be thumbing away at my phone if I'm not doing anything, but I can't stand being at an event of some sort and people blocking my view with their giant iPads just to get cool Facebook cred.

Yeah I use Gixen for sniping, been using them for years and even bought their premium plan for like $7/year (has saved me way more than that over the years).

Kingsaver with blue Alps.

I find myself visiting less and less. I don't look for old gear much anymore and my perspective of "friendly keyboard community" has been rather ruined as of late. Less so of DT, but both Geekhack and Reddit make me feel like an outsider despite having been around for many years. Matter of fact, I'm...

Don't forget the 10% fee that eBay charges you for shipping.

I'd argue that sellers make very little profit on shipping costs, at least in my experience as a seller.

New in box Topre split keyboard? If only I had money to waste.

The second one looks like it might be a rubber dome but I have no idea.

I totally read this in the resonant voice of that dude who does keyboard review videos.

Chyros is "that dude who does keyboard review videos".

Pretty sweet Topre macro pad. I think it was used with a CAD system.
