Microsoft Natural... with MX browns?
« on: Wed, 23 June 2010, 21:25:27 »
saw this on the [H]



Supposedly it's just a work in progress. Looking pretty good though.
I wish I had the time and/or skill to pull off something like that.
Any thoughts?

Ugh... why cherry browns? Blue is much better. And blue is cool.

Hi, thats me, I started it on [H] but figured I could use the advice and opinions of people with lots of mechanical keyboard experience and modding. Thanks! (gonna goto either mapping out the orignial ms4000 pcb or using my almost mapped out ocz alchemy pcb then start on soldering, which I've only soldered twice in my life, so it'll be a learning process!)
As far as browns vs. blues, tbh I have idea if i liked browns or blues (never used either) the g80-8200 i got from ebay was 26bucks, pristine new and had a broken pcb(so the keys were awesome) that pretty much was the deciding factor.

I don't get it ... don't you know there's already an ErgoPlus? :)

Just kidding, good luck finishing it!

Browns are the best switches overall anyway ... post pictures when your're done.

I wish I could find an ANSI ErgoPlus.  That would be one of the few rare 'boards I would like to add to my collection.

browns are double++ better for an ergo 'board
imho they 'age' better than blues too.
