It is a Korean custom keyboard called "356". Sadly they are very expensive (since they are made of aluminium and/or other metals).
I'll write a summary of all custom keyboards soon I think

Sorry I don't have a better picture, but I just use this one I got at office depot about 5 years ago. It's squishy and feels nice, as well as having a flexible metal bar going through it so you can sculpt it to whatever position you like (notice it isn't straight).

anyone has tried these "3 star" palm rests from EK? Are they any good?

Ooh nice Realforce! I saw that posted before on GH. Got any info on it? Is it variable-weighted?

Been using both Ducky and Filco wrist rests for a while. I'm not too sure I need a wrist rest, but using one sure does feel nice.

Cool board! I remember seeing this when it came out. After testing 55g and variable weight Realforce, I am pretty sure all 45g would be the best Realforce for me. As far as I know they only exist in JIS layouts though, right?
I remember there was an ANSI prototype at the Realforce Day last month, b ut who knows when or if that will ever come out

Nice! How come your Capslock is flat? Normally DK is stepped capslock I thought? Did you mod it?

Yeap!

Followed your
link on the other post for the mod. They are for temporary keycaps until I get double-shot winkeyless black hopefully.

Still tempting.

All I want is space-bar row anyway.
Let me think about it. Thanks.

I still have 8 sublimation RGB green shift keys... and one ctrl. No full set though.
I'm considering to make another replica order at signature plastics. Not the real deal, but still cool.

Just wait till I post a full picture series, also of the inside. But I still need the left shift DHL stole from me, to complete the key caps.

I've got a few spare as well. I was into moding EU cherries to US version and left with bunch of short left-shift.
Surely you've got spare Esc keycaps, right?

You could sell it
here easily. Those guys keep whining that their mechanical keyboards must have azerty layout. How's your French?

Posted: 13 Feb 2011, 01:45

French?
I've already modified it to QWERTY.
I do understand, I am like them. No wonder they are whining.
