Oh and BTW you can wash them in the washing machine no dramas, put mine through several times now and had no problems. Handy for me because I've spilled like 3 drinks on mine!

Well I can assure you it is most definitely not delicious. In fact, it tastes like an eraser, because it is....

Haha, I can't believe you tried to eat the Iwako eraser. Oops. I guess I may need to include a little note with some of them that they are not candy or gum, but a little Japanese toy.

"SNACK ERASER" Let's eat it anyways!

The Japanese should put a "DO NOT EAT" on it too I guess

Well in that case you'd have to take out one alt or control on the right side for better symmetry.

Scarface keys don't come in bigger than 1x1 so kind of have to use whatever for the 1.5 \| key. In this case it makes sense to also go ahead and break the rules for the ~ key too.

Picked up this HP terminal / workstation keyboard. "HIL" interface.
I had gambled that it would have leaf spring switches, but unfortunately it was a rubber dome.

The writing on the keycaps wiped clean off with some alcohol.

I used one of those back in the day - 2392, wasn't it? I always thought the shape of the keycaps was odd.

Fujitsu leaf spring switches are pretty awesome. I'm sorry to hear about the rubber domes.

Yes, the keycaps are spherical, except the F and J keys that are dished cylindrical.
I can't decide if I like it or not ... Small distance between keys is a bit annoying.

wetto · « **Reply #12992 on:** Sat, 12 October 2013, 14:57:39 »

Still a bit weird to type on it since it REAAAAAAALLY tactile, but playing is going quite well... Actually, I thought that because of the resistance (60G), it'd be just as bad or even worse than Cherry MX Blacks (I love this switch for typing and hate it for gaming), but that's not true. It's very different from the common four MX Switches and feels very nice.

Though still, Glossy was awful on my old Das Keyboard and is still awful in the Matias Mini Quiet Pro. Plus, it has the worst height adjustment feet I've ever seen, those things make lots of creaking sounds, but fortunately its angle without those feet is exactly the one which I use on other keyboards.

Also, almost no rubber feet on its rear, it's quite easy to move it arround...

Anyways, I may end up modding this keyboard (Carbon Fiber Vinyl, adding some rubber feets to it), but it's still a good experience and better than all these bland keyboards I've received lately (Corsair K70, Logitech G710+, CM Quick Fire TK... Tired of the same stuff all over).
