Hello Geekhack, I'm Buddy!

[BuddyOG]

Hi Everyone!

I’m Buddy and I’m new here to geekhack. I’m a rubber dome nerd and have been collecting Topre keybards since 2016, and have been customizing them for the most part of 2020. At the beginning of this year I spent a couple of months on trial and error and RnD to be able to get the best feeling I can from my keyboards. I have put my findings together in a guide you can find on my website, linked below.

One product to stem from my research is a rubber gasket that installs between the metal base plate and the slider housings. Eliminating the rattle of the housings, it also makes a noticeable improvement in the feeling of the upstroke.
This is an alternative solution to using grease or tape to hold the housings in place.

I hope to be able to offer modding services in the future to anyone looking to customize their Topre keyboards.  Here are some of my more recent projects:
