Excelent deal on TG3 BL82 aka Deck 82 red led's
« on: Thu, 26 January 2012, 16:05:28 »
http://www.globaltekoutlet.com/TG3-Electronics-BL82-Series-Backlit-Keyboard-p/bl82.htm

-Black switches
-PS/2
-LED's can be powered by just plugging in to the mobo, no need for cable moding and connecting to the PSU with molex
-Price $58 included shipping ( FYI some vendors sells this puppy for $200-$250 new)

I was back and forth talking to the seller asking for the full codes from the keyboard and called TG3 to verify if this model uses 12V LED which will make you mod the cable in order to turn the led's on, but all is good this one uses 5V led's even though its a cops keyboard, the seller told me they are black switches, not the clear ones.

Nice find on a very cool backlit keyboard. It's a shame black switches are so horrible for almost everything :( And I believe the TG3 BL82 is plate mounted, so it makes getting to those switches impossible

Wow!  Good find.  I like typing on the MX blacks.  They're good for ANGRY TYPING.  Maybe that's why they put them into a cop keyboard.

I have one of these. I don't dig black switches, but I love the double shot keycaps. This board also has a rubber splatter guard under the caps, feels a little better when that's removed.

Are you sure these are doubleshot, friend? I thought they were coated.

For sure not double shots. They have to be translucent for light to show through.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 38868[/ATTACH] Sorry bro but your wrong they are doubleshots that will never wear off same as DECK's keyboards. Only difference between this one and the Decks,this one is more heavy duty in construction due to it was made for industrial use such as cops cars, factories,hospitals,shops etc etc etc.

EDIT: BTW they are double shots PBT!!!! not the typical ABS double shots.....

I am sure that can't be right. The coefficient of shrinkage is too much, for almost any legend, the internal stresses would exceed the (low) fracture toughness and crack it long before cooling finished.

I went and looked it up: deck/TG3 uses a multi step process. I searched the wiki for "deck"

Backlit keys on so called "Gaming Keyboards" are generally translucent plastic, then coated, and finally lasered similar to some cell phone keys. Decks use a variety of steps to build their keys. Black key with translucent glued insert with dye sublimation printing.
There's even a picture of the "insert" cut out of it
http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=20154&d=1310047405

This means that it's not "doubleshot" in the traditional sense, and that you WILL wear though the legend with use.

Although it does look like the top is maybe sublimated PBT, which is nice. It'll take a good long while to wear that out.

Ok but the keycap is made out of 2 pieces isnt thats why they are called double shots, 1 piece the exterior cap and 1 piece the interior cap + the the clear inside piece is dyesublimated so that we can see the actual legend,right?

I'm no expert or whatsoever but this does look to me like dyesublimation+doubleshot+outershellkeycap PBT?  I think its pure genious,just my 0.2 cents.
http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:13276

EDIT: TG3/Deck guarantees that keycap legends will "NEVER" wear off,no matter what.

It's easier to arrange to Dvorak, which is a huge bonus.

They also have the same profile as SP function row keys, so you can replace any of the 1x keys with novelty key caps and not have odd profile differences.
