sheesh Ripster, even when you have a bad-ass plan, you still end up taking it to the Nth degree. I didn't even dream that when I started collecting keyboards I'd have to go collect a donor board to chop up just for a jig. Unless of course there's somewhere that not only sells replacement keys, but busted sections of the barrel plate as well

you definitely da man in the keyboard world. keep 'em coming.

Lol.. Jeez super badass.
One thing I noticed. Doesn't the geekhack key look a little more elevated then the other keys.
Nvm.. Lets just ignore that. :S

the geekhack key IS a little more elevated - Ripster just didn't screencap the UAC prompt that's required due to the extra awesome-ness the key provides.

EDIT: on a more serious note, it's not that the key is more elevated, it's just that the sp keys have a shorter "skirt" so more of the key stem is exposed.

Could you possibly post a pic from the underside of a modded key. I'm curious how much tolerance there is with the epoxy coming though. (I still haven't done this part yet, I don't think I have enough epoxy with me at the moment, so it will likely be tomorrow before I get to bond everything up tight)

thanks in advance

Damn Ripster, you make everything look so easy. It's too bad a guy like me with only one good arm can't do that so easily. I know I saw panic buttons a while back for the model M, but I haven't seen any of those for some time. For those of us who can't phycally do these kind of key modifications, being able to buy them is prett cool. However, I also know there is no real demand because the model M is so "out of date"

Do you know of a place that might still have them in stock?

This mod, compared to an original model M key cap, is like a penis extender compared to an erection.

Very nice...
A border for the keys on the jigs would make em even more perfect with out having to eyeball it everytime. Just a thought.

Cheers

I wouldn't know. Unlike you I don't need a penis extender.

Because they didn't like your mod, you have to insult them?

ripster, I suggest a vaginal rejuvenation then. It'll make it smell like red cherries, unlike the brown clicky stuff it smells of now.

I doubt eugenius thinks that's an insult as much as a good rib he opened himself up to. I know I'm laughing as well he is, I'm sure.
