The ones I got were more expensive. But meh, I don't care. I love them, even the RGB.

Yea they sound like amazing boards, but im not quite ready to drop that much. Still Ill enjoy every picture/sound test of topre that is posted

Honestly I don't see the big deal with Topre. I tried it and didn't like it at all. Just felt like a soft rubber dome. They have the audacity to charge $100+ for these! Suckers. If someone can explain to me where all that money is going (besides spherical springs and rubber sheets), please do. I'd ...

Peerless. Keep away unless you want scratchy switches. Sorry man. But here is something you guys will like: a Realforce for $35. I was bidding on it, but now it's gonna be over my budget :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: http...

290$ rubber dome....What is this, topre?

Well, the dt post is by a new account from the UK which bought the same kits ;) Maybe the quality of the caps is not good enough or he likes swimming in the sea. As there will be 200 more sets soon it's a really good time to flip a set Yea ive seen all the QC issues some sets had, hopefully the new...

Wait, he got them and put them on for sale? Didnt like them or what

Nvm, guess it was someone who didnt like them and he is selling them, mb.

If you are still interested for-sale-f55/nuclear-data-sa-key-caps-t18756.html talk to this guy

that was fast hahaha

That might be worth a little bit of money as a switch/caps donor. Although the Cyrillic front printing looks like a homemade job and is peeling off. Im pretty sure that is a real cyrillic layout (small backspace), correct me if im wrong :?: small backspace is a concequance of the big ass enter and ...

Woah that a fantastic looking board, but it sounds even better
One day ill try topre hehe.

Those look like white alps (SKCM White to be exact), if they feel nice people would be interested, the keycaps look nice as well
Nice find!

You guys will probably hate this ... https://i.imgur.com/71jMO1K.jpg Probably not a lot of love from you all for this either ... https://i.imgur.com/Y3keGMT.jpg ... or this (same keyboard, different plates and keyset) ... https://i.imgur.com/skYSJFg.jpg A lot of you all will probably start yelling ...

At least the caps are reusable on modern topre boards, also isnt that ulgy at least imo

There is no way in hell someone would type on that. I think that is just someone showing off their artisan keycaps. Thats over a thousand dollars worth of keycaps. 1000+ ?? :shock: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clack-Factory-Candy-Corn-Topre/263571604279?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D...

Kailh Box Black or Box Yellow if you want them heavier

Pink with some leopard fur and we got a great GB

Alright thanks...Yea the G80 is a pretty shitty board build wise, but at least the layout is good

I have well-cleaned and lubed MX blacks from a worn G80-1800 (with replacement springs) in the board that I use at work. They feel great. You have to desolder to lube and replace springs right? (want some heavier springs in mine). If I had to desolder them, Id just swap them for box dark yellows, b...

Did you remember to sand the plate down uniformly before spraying? That was what made my plate restoration project most painful. Extra layers of paint can be really hard to do and can end up with an inconsistent finish. Don't worry about it. You won't see it under keycaps and stuff. Also, I wish I ...

I like the idea of keeping the burnt spacebar

Best of luck to you man, thanks for doing this

Great looking board, shame about the switches

I really like the amber leds, adds to the look of the keyboard. I have always preferred alternate colors to the standard green, really makes your board stand out in a crowd. Thanks guys! Turned out better than I expected. But my sister always complains when I use it for more than 10 seconds :x :x L...

Not anymore, I bought one, stuck some 55g domes in it and HiPro'd it, I'm hoping by some miracle I come across a red SA escape keycap that will match the profile of the hipro, and a red split SA right shift too
