Like the setup Amble but I don't think I could deal with my keyboard and mouse being on different levels.

Posted it into the wrong thread... I guess that is what happens when you have two tabs open and want to reply to two different threads.

I got used to it and wouldn't be able to have them on the same level as a result.  Plus, resting my arm on my chair with my usual bad posture (laid back and leg up on the desk) makes it ideal.

Really like the one on the right. So colorful. But in a fun nice looking way rather than in a unicorn vomit kind of way.

Thankies :) I try to keep them as nice as possible :P Not a fan of unicorn vomit myself :)) If there was anything else I'd ever add onto that one, it's a Green CC. That's about it.

The first touch of colour makes a world of difference :)

If you ask nicely, someone might have some Alpha caps from their SP crap bag to offload.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

If you ask nicely, someone might have some Alpha caps from their SP crap bag to offload.

I was asking in couple of threads, one person even offered a full FR ISO set (good for re-stemming anything to ALPS, which I wanna try at one point) but nothing went out of it. FR ISO person went silent, and none of the people who ordered SP crap bags responded. I think i will have to wait a bit until everyone will get through their bags :) I also saw that CPTBadAss is looking for some caps for his collection and at the moment I don't want to stand in his way :) He's the one who pushed me towards the ALPS boards ^^

No worriez, I can wait :) Finding ALPS compatibile caps is hard and challenging but it is more fun this way :)

That's a Ducky Shine :)  My pink keyboard is in my profile--it was a limited edition, like the blue metallic full-sized Filcos or the Italian red metallic.  Anyway, cool pink combo!

Haven't posted in this thread in awhile.

Temporary home for the caps. Blank grey + dark grey thick PBTs.
Spacebar is actually the same color. It just caught the light differently.

Nice! Never noticed the guide, will have to give it a read :)
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

made a new cable for my keyboard yesterday. nubb's guide was really helpful!

If you try your hand at another you should try this braid.

actually, that's the braid I used on the cable. Making it too tight will result in an extremely stiff cable, which I wanted to avoid. Its probably more obvious in two colored strands; here's a cable I made for my iems in different colored wires using the same braid.

Now I see it.  For my really custom cable I will be using the 8 strand version.

Added some rubber-foam liner to the bottom of one of my Filcos, between the PCB and the case for sound dampening.  Also swapped the copper cover to a spare cover I had, which I just painted pearl turquoise

Is the difference with the rubber-foam liner pretty noticeable?

Update: having typed more, I have to revise what I said earlier: I can definitely hear the difference now.  The dampening is noticeable, and I like it.
