An interesting company, focusing on developing "Font Types".
MORISAWA might have made used of that keyboard indeed - or is that Kanji-system namded MK-11- MORISAWA indeed?

Searching for 6 years? You have the patience of a hunter, and deserve a rare blue Alps board. Seeing all the the manufacturers discontinuing their best switches or themselves closing down, Please at least a joint-effort project possible has to be possible to revive these particularly delicious click...

Woa what switches? That thing must weigh a ton :shock: Stay tuned to find out. As packaged I believe it was 26 lbs. There is a huge price difference for shipping between air or by ship. By ship the shipping cost is better than half of what it would cost to ship by air. If I do by ship through it wi...

Pm about POS 2u caps.

The guy at the background has no computer to use and how he sat makes him look a bit unenthusiastic and sad... :oops: Yeah horrible posture. Poor sap probably has a dead end job, three kids and wife that's having an affair. Kids are fine, job and wife can be replaced. But no keyboard! Staying that ...

I don't have it, but the Swiftpoint Z seems to be a really appealing choice if I have the money.

Curious:
Are you the first owner of this Michael Schumacher case? Is it in Mint condition?

I suggest you to post this “offer” to some vintage computer forums, and a suggestion is that you may also consider soldering some switches back onto the keyboard to make this a better offer for a keyboard forum.

Hope you can take your time for the quality check and packing, so step by step to complete a longer-than-expected but perfectly executed "Made in Germany" Group buy!

This hobby drives eventually all we (supposedly) decent people into the dumpsters and the recycling centres to go through the trash...


What a score!

I'm curious about Chyros' verdict and found this intriguing keyboard I've seen in his previous review. A few thing before such a thing can be my daily driver: - high-profile bezel for the case - nicer linear switches or at least I want to know how to lube these optical switches - programmability wit...

My mouth watered and I was indeed swallowing when I look up the table above..!

https://i.imgur.com/csUeggK.jpg Linjars, going into a build soon 👀 Linjära :P Seems like a modern super linear according to video reviews: - so little wobble like filmed retooled blacks - so smooth every unlubed more than the retooled blacks - sounds like the Cherry blacks with these housings Looki...

I still fancy an OG Hammer 60% - looking great!

Let's not jump to conclusions. 7bit looked happy and relaxed at Mechanicon in Frankfurt last year. Maybe he's just busy.

You are all set wi...

Ah, you can also upload some ASMR typing demo videos using the prototypes with sexy background music.
Of course with nice switches such as lubed vintage blacks.

Then we can spending our time positively with anticipations to the build.

@PlastikSchnittstelle Don't worry, and don't feel the obligation to do extra raffles. I don't want to say German companies are not efficient, which can be true in some case; instead I try to appreciate that they are meticulous to get things right. What we see here is just Murphy's law: "What has a c...

Here is mine. 1 and half key larger than a TKL, 92 keys total. https://i.postimg.cc/qMmg4Hd6/t1.jpg Note the place of the DEL, right CTRL, 9u spacebar and the lack of windows and FN keys (which I hate). CAPS lock must have on/off led. At this point I'm not sure if I will go ahead with it, but defin...

Licking the ass of Magic Girl - or whoever seller merchandiser behind this single-post user account :P Perhaps a few granddaughters or grandsons of members in this Vintage-keyboard-heavy DT forum may like this design. Magic Girl style - John Wick copies from them https://media.giphy.com/media/YkvtgX...

The magic of the DT forum is, sometimes old and damaged keyboards like this were perfected restored and adapted to modern day usage by some members.

Hello! . Is the different between blue and brown switch ? which one is better ? Please specify what "blue" and what "brown" switches you are referring to. There are Cherry MX blue, Gateron blue, Kailh blue, Alps SKCM blue, etc. These blues are "clicky" There are Cherry MX brown, Gateron brown, Alps...

I'm not an ISO user, I have to ask out of curiosity:

Which (right hand) finger do you hit the ISO Enter with?
1. Pinky?
2. Ring?
3. Middle?

Pinky has to reach further for an ISO enter than for an ANSI enter, but there are more up-and-down row leeway as the ISO enter crosses two rows.

For a split second I really wanted to order some of these to try out, but then I realize they're Kailh switches and then I did not continue the idea - which I should. Kailh switches have not yet won a place as reliable as Gateron as a Cherry clone - I do have some Kailh switches: I almost ordered th...

@Hypersphere
I also lubed my HHKB (with 105 and stabs with superlube) after 2+ years of use - best thing I've done to treat my typing fingers.

Hey @Hypersphere thanks for this! I just ordered a black on black Realforce 87U (the one with 55g)... Got it on sale too... This comes to my mine when I first read your history of Model M. That's a great To-go purchase decision. My Topre (HHKB Pro2) has been my best (and cheapest) keyboard purchase...

But *why* review it in the first place?

So that I know what kind of Christmas or birthday (keyboard) presents to send to my "favourite" pre-school children of friends and extended family

Reviewing such a peanut-butter-proof keyboard is perhaps something most people can do.

But self-torture of using this thing for the whole week for the sake of principle and the truthfulness of a review?!?
My hat's off to you!
