What did you add to your Keyboard today? - Post Your Pics

[esoomenona]

Is that a Das II? I have one of those on the way too!

[jwaz]

Yup, a G80-3000 with blank POM caps. Pretty sweet, I almost don't want to put them on my KMAC but Lit's looked so baller with 'em...

[esoomenona]

That's exactly why I bought one, and I feel the same way and I haven't even received it. I guess I feel bad taking apart keyboards...

[longweight]

It's topre

Congratulations! It's the best kind of key! (Topre!)

[WRXChris]

I posted this in the mail thread yesterday, but it's so awesome that I must repost!  By far the best keyboard I've ever typed on, granted it also has stickered, lubed, ergo clears.  It doesn't budge like all of my other keyboards do as I move back and forth between the mouse and keyboard.  And it looks awesome too!

[MMB]

Lookin good, Chris!

[WRXChris]

Thanks meatball!  Perfection always requires time, patience, and commitment, and I'll say confidently that it was worth it!  Korean customs (and Korean custom assembly techniques) FTW!

Do you think you can tell a difference in quality between these switches and the ones you have done yourself? If so, what are the differences?

Thanks,
John

I did these switches myself, but I practiced on another board first to find my preferred lube mix.  Just had to give credit where credit is due!

Ahh, when you said Korean custom assembly techniques I thought you meant the switches were done over there. I took your advice from when we were pm'ing. I mixed GPL-103 and GPL-205 in about a 50/50 ratio when I did my first ones. Honestly, I was very dissapointed in how the two mixed together. I probably just did somethig wrong but they did not mix as well as i thought they would.

[WRXChris]

I didn't mix them, I actually applied the grease first, then put oil on top.  One would probably need a centrifuge to get a good blend.  Either way, I definitely prefer the combo of 103/205 to either of them alone!

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

What's the difference between the silver and the titanium Duck Poker case?

[demik]

Just the color

[Smeagol_RP]

While my custom caps doesn't arrive I "made" a roof for my QFR. 

[mistakemistake]

^Hey that's awesome

[rowdy]

That roof is excellent!

I use a tea towel on mine, doesn't have the same look.

*wonders if americans know what a teatowel is.

[Sifo]

Wow that's an amazing roof!

[rowdy]

Those look really nice and clean  :eek:

Nice job! Mind if I ask you how you did it?

[tsangan]

You don't have a HHKB no more demik :rofl:

Acetrak: It's metallic stickers identical to the Cherry ones you've seen around, you basically peel off the back side and stick it on then peel of the front side and its just the alphanumeric in shiny form. The one on the HHKB are gold since gold and black has a nice feel to it

The Cherry sticker I was referencing to but its in silver

[reaper]

Looking good.  I wish I have the patience to do something like that but unfortunately, I don't.

Pfff we all know I'm the only real wizard folk around here! You just be drinking up all dat magic juice to do that work.

[YoungMichael88]

 Magic juice?  Like in space jam?!?!

Today was a good keyboard day overall. I played with some boards at the shop (including a Matias Tactile Pro), bought the said caps above, and asked someone to pull some strings for a certain elusive item. Not sure I'll get my hands on it, but it'd be awesome if I do. Best haul of the day is, of course, some more insider information. Good times

Just obtained the unobtainable. Pix + more banters when they're in my hands.

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

Added some TechKeys to my newly finished MX Clear board.

[phetto]

Rappoo!

[GeorgeK]

Actually removed a few (read: lot of) things but this is the result - quite a nice contrast

[hotlikedimes]

Got these guys on yesterday morning!!



Put the caps lock key from my BWU on so you can see it light up through the key when caps lock is on. I think it looks nicer than just the spot in the caps lock key that the LED shines through.
