@Monster-Toys: That's exactly what happened to me. You'll get over it.

I think futaba MA are great switches tbh, its rare to find them in an actually good chassisMonster-Toys wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 14:34Of course i will (but after seeing some pics i am pretty sure that you are almost right, i might also be a DFK-501F/502F ... still futuba switches tho).
Really? :O I had one of the beige ones and gave it to a friend for free. I'd love to try the switches NOS. I sent them an email and asked if they do indeed still have them, namely the black ones.Keybug wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 09:58They're actually still produced (or still in stock NIB): https://www.ergocanada.com/products/key ... 040ps.html
Looks nice (keycap profile especially), anyone owns one of these? Looks like some cherry mx clone switch.consideringquiet wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 04:55Saw this in a "viral" video stop motion of a man eating his previous keyboard.
Anybody got an idea as to what this board may be?

That is soooo weird. Looks like Ajazz have went with the increasingly-popular vintage keyboard theme and mixed it with a gamery, angular case design with RGB.Puree wrote: ↑29 May 2019, 23:44AJAZZ AK510consideringquiet wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 04:55Saw this in a "viral" video stop motion of a man eating his previous keyboard.

I wonder if it could be a computer or Word Processor with built-in monitor, kind of like the Bondwell posted further down but with a printer. Especially Word Processing machines would have been built that way, although those did not often come with a numeric keypad, but a few actual all-in-one computers or terminals did have built-in printers like that.
Hi, Yes I should have been more clear above. This definitely looks like a word processor or very early laptop-esque sort of deviceFindecanor wrote: ↑31 May 2019, 02:14I wonder if it could be a computer or Word Processor with built-in monitor, kind of like the Bondwell posted further down but with a printer.

It arrived today.
Speaking of Futaba MA, I heard somewhere that you can "restore" the clickyness in some of them by pressing them super hard with a flathead. I tried this on a completely dead Chicony 5160XT with inconsistent switches, and ended up completely removing the tactility by doing this, while some switches did become very sharp and tactile.Monster-Toys wrote: ↑31 May 2019, 16:36It arrived today.
100% correct. DFK 555 version 4.0, Futuba MA... i do not like them at all *shudder*.
If any german user wants to have it for shipping + optional voluntary donation PM me, else i will throw it away next week (i do not have enough space to keep keyboards i do not like).
Edit: New owner found, board no longer available.
