Various NMB mechanical keyboards
« on: Wed, 02 February 2011, 13:20:49 »
Excuse me Im not as up on keyboards as some of you but I do know I prefer mechanical keyboards... LOL

In the past I started a stash of NMB mechanical switch keyboards and now I need to get rid of them.

I have approx 6-8 of them and dont know precise details but if you might be interested, PM me and I will help you with any questions you might have.

I'm only half interested.

Do you have any with a split spacebar (one key is backspace)?

I take requests for making keyboard converters (i.e. *old keyboard* to USB).

Can anyone suggest a keyboard or type of switch thats similar or exactly like the NMB "space invader" switch???  I like the weight and the crispness of the end of the stroke of the key and would like to find a modern keyboard similar to these...

Thanks

People have stated that clicky space invaders are quite similar to MX blues, FWIW.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Yes, blues and nmb space invaders are pretty similar in feel.  Both are excellent.  So you have your choice of a bunch of modern keyboards.  If you live in the USA, the Rosewill RK-9000 would be a great place to start.

How do the clicky NMB switch feel after actuation? Is it just as light as the Cherry Blue?

Since I'm retarded, the best I can say is it is a clean stroke with a nice crisp feel at the bottom of the keystroke...

That's how I describe it but I'm sure its wrong in the keyboard world... LOL

I REALLY wish there was a person in the LA area that has a Cheery Blue keyboard I can test or a store that actually sells decent keyboards.  I am not dropping 150 on a keyboard until I can "test drive" one...

I recently acquired a space invader board, and it is pretty fun. I would say that actuation force is slightly higher than blues, but they sound very similar. Mine is a tad quieter I believe. The click is a little more solid feeling than a blue, mainly because of the insane steel plate that they are mounted on in my case. After doing a usb mod, my keyboard has 5kro. Kind of weird I know, but on keyboard tests it can do ANY 5 keys, no matter which ones are pressed. I couldn't find any combination that allowed more or less.

If you have a good model M keyboard for sale, I am definitely interested.  I need one for a co-worker and she is willing to spend about $50.00 including shipping.  The model year is not important, but it must have a PS2 connector and be complete.
