Have you tried blues before? If so, how do you like them compared to blues?

Shadovved · « **Reply #3351 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 18:06:37 »

Like them, dan?

Where did you paste that SC2 sticker?

Yeah i got a ducky shine 2 TKL with blues

They are both the same, just different spring (from a MX black switch)

Honestly it would come down to preference, maybe if your hands arent that strong you could get fatigue. I dont see the green being good for gaming. Excellent for typing if u find the blues a little too light.

If you already have blues you wont need to switch imo.

So you found that blue alt dyesub of yours?

Yo shadovved, can you make those cherry stickers in red with metallic borders?
That would be something.

btw I love the dota one you sent me.

I really want a hackorange, but I would never pay anything over cost . Maybe I'd trade it, but that's about it. Only to add it to my silly geekhack keyboard.
That's it, I'd maybe pay $1 more than cost just so the person can have some profit, other than that, nope.

I'll offer $2 more than cost!

Illustrate? Cos I dont quite get the idea.....

A pic of a pencil drawing is fine too, no need to gimme CAD for that

Nice that you liked it! It should coming out after I am done with the GH charity stickers

ekw808 · « **Reply #3360 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 18:31:38 »

Have the sticker red and a metallic lining?

Shadovved · « **Reply #3361 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 18:34:05 »

2 colour on 1 piece cannot be made

So no "doubleshots" kinda style, only can do carving kinds

Shadovved · « **Reply #3363 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 18:36:30 »

No can do, boss.

Outlines are not possible cos the colour at the end is coated, so either full colour or full silver, sorry

My KBT Pure CNC Limited Edition came in today from Hong Kong via tinlong117. Green LEDs, MX Blues and Aluminum case.

Stupid giant enter

Thats one board I much prefer it's ISO brother of.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #3371 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:25:21 »

You should get a TA typewriter like this one... that's a GIANT enter

cytoSiN · « **Reply #3372 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:26:12 »

Yeah but it doesn't have a GIANT arrow reminding you it's the enter key. It's so deliberate they must have laughed when they first designed it. I love it.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #3373 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:28:58 »

You should see the stabilizer for it... now that is funny, it's diagonal and there is pins from the keycap that go into holes in the plate also.

cytoSiN · « **Reply #3374 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:31:38 »

Nice. I would have guessed 4 pins in a square, maybe with a fifth under the bottom left part.

jeroplane · « **Reply #3375 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 20:39:13 »

Received most of this stuff a while back, but the most important part - the keyboard (and the stickers) - came today

It's business time!

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #3376 on:** Wed, 02 January 2013, 22:05:01 »

I see you bought some krytox 205 lube. Try mixing it with krytox oil as well. The combination feels a tad smoother than grease alone. Although the oils is more expensive and harder to get.

aesthetics1 · « **Reply #3377 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 00:20:21 »

I got this a little while ago. Traded away my Oktoberfest MX that I won in the drawing.

The one that says "You ordered something that clearly fits in your mailbox, but we decided not to leave it anyway, so come and pick it up at your earliest inconvenience (we close at 'whenever-you're-off-work'o'clock') at your local post office?"

Oh yeah, I love those.

esoomenona · « **Reply #3381 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 00:28:33 »

I'm honestly not even sure what it's for... and I won't know until Saturday when I can pick it up.

lol, actually the same for me, just didn't get around to picking it up today, on Jan. 2nd :/
Edit: eh, maybe I'll just be lazy and have them re-deliver it xD

Not as interesting I would assume, since a cherry is acctually red, not pink xD

Shadovved · « **Reply #3388 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 03:20:23 »

Colours can be decided later LOL.

Since coloured stickers cost the same as each other, +10cents each LOL

How'd you do that? I thought those have been sold out for several weeks

Might be one of those white on beige that i3 had left?

^^ exactly, it is getting me by until I locate or mod one, or - another group buy starts up!

Yeah ideally that's the combination I would've used, but I couldn't justify the price and the fact that the oil is harder to get shipped to Australia.

Both these Ergo Clears and the Poker layout is going to take some getting used to for me. Also I just experienced my F key sticking as I typed this... I know people have reported this as a possible issue, but it should happen less with more use, right? Or should I replace the stem/relube?

hashbaz · « **Reply #3394 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 11:43:55 »

HHKB JP. This is going to take some getting used to. A lot of the keys don't produce the symbols they claim to ... anyone know what's up with that?

Maybe a dip switch setting?

hashbaz · « **Reply #3396 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 11:47:50 »

All the DIP settings are for stuff like modifier swapping ... nothing I can see that would make the 8 key lie about its shift character (it produces asterisk instead of open parenthesis). My only guess is regional shenanigans since this is intended for the Japanese market.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #3397 on:** Thu, 03 January 2013, 11:50:57 »

Mine never did anything with those keys, either, but then I never told the OS to change language and regional keyboard settings.

It looks lost next to my desktop:

Upgraded to 8GB of RAM, a GT 210 is coming for HDMI out and XBMC, Highpoint RocketRaid 2680SGL is on it's way for RAID 5, looking for a good deal on 4x2TB drives as well!

What's this all for you might be wondering - SFTP/XBMC/Media Storage + Backups
