XT + Wheelwriter Project - 35€
Spoiler:
Selling my almost complete wheelwriter xt project to someone who is willing to finish it or can use the parts. Case has a small crack & a small bit that chipped off on the lower right hand corner. (Didnt bother me, as you cant see it while using the board)
Wheelwriter plate has been cut to size, all rivets removed & the cracked barrel plate repaired.
Comes with a full set of springs & flippers, keycaps, stabilizers and screws to screw mod the plate. Only needs a controller & some time.
Build instructions can be found in SunshineRags Post

Ducky One 2 Mini - 35€
Spoiler:
Ducky One PCB, plate + stabs, case is a low profile 3D-printed PLA case in white, switches are (vintage?) MX Blacks from a pre 2000´s Cherry G80 1800 HAD. I cant tell for sure that they are vintage, but they feel quite nice.
Keycaps should be blank black PBT, since they feel quite textured. Keyboard is also foam modded and the stabs have been slightly lubed.

Sorry to inform you that, those are NOT SKCP switches, they are SKEW, or two piece alps integrated dome. They are worlds apart, on everything.

a little bit of both haha, i knew green clones did exist but thought that this board had the muchhh more common white clones. How do these feel by the way? something in my brain associates clone with smoothness because of the mx game, but that probably doesn't apply here right?

Well, the one´s in the Ortek are ok. They are quite smooth, but sound more hollow then the OG greens.
I have 3 green clones in my collection that are all different from one another.
One type from a second Ortek board, one from NTC´s 6251 and one from a seller on ali express that claims it´s taiwan made.
Maybe I´ll add a sound comparison one day.
from left to right: Taiwan Ali, Ortek, NTC, Alps

ohh interesting, i kinda want to start my own switch collection but it'd be hard to resell a keyboard with a missing switch. I've been looking for a linear alps-y keyboard for a whilee now, so I'll keep you in mind if i find the funds

ahh its not that hard to source switches for a tester. You can replace a singular, sparely used key with an aftermarket one (matias, tai hao apc, other clones) there are typewriters out there with alps switches, you can trade in the community, you can use one if you desolder a complete board but you dont need all of the switches for a custom board. many options to obtain switches :D

Does that mean you’re up for making and selling samplers just like this? If you had brown Alps in the mix, I’d be all over it! :D

Probably not, since getting the good stuff (browns, blues, ambers etc.) is next to impossible to do in Germany. (at least with the budget of a 23 year old )
Oranges, salmons, undampened creams and greens are a bit easier, with blacks, (dampened) whites & creams being the easiest to obtain.
Browns aren´t in the mix since the only ones I got are currently in my 5140 keyboard assembly that is waiting to be desoldered and transformed into my custom frog mini build :D
Btw the spacing of the alps keys is so weird , since iam (re)using the cheapo 1.25U blanks that Tai Hao likes to add to to your orders as a gift

Yeah, both of my meetups were with the same people, a smaller dev studio, focusing on ios apps.
The whole company was there (around 25-30 people) and the boss even got food and drinks for everyone.
I was the only external guy, mainly cause I was responsible for getting a good chunk of the people there into the hobby :D
Also because instead of being "normal" like everyone else and bringing 1-3 custom mx based boards , I brought 10 or so vintage boards... and left with 11 :lol:
