Anyone have any mx lock switches lying around? I'm looking for 2 for a personal project and can't find them for sale anywhere.

I doubt someone will give those to you for free, you could try a classifieds thread

Yeah.  I got lucky and basically paid $35 for mine when I found a board with one on it.

I didn't realize they were so rare, I thought they just weren't really used much.

They don't get used much, so Cherry didn't make very many, so they're rare.

I got some foams from Mcmaster Carr to give away.  I used these for experimenting with the replacement foam mat for IBM model F keyboards.  The remaining foam is in the box, along with other foams I found less than ideal.  You could also use the foam for a pillow, rolled tube for hitting a friend on the head, or arts and crafts project.

I ask that you pay shipping for the box of foams.  I expect it to cost $10-$15 to ship.  Please send me a PM you are interested.

Anyone in the UK got a keypuller or two? I can pay a few £ for them + shipping I just don't want to pay the ridiculous £9 shipped from keyboardco..

I use these keycap pullers. Also the the O-rings. But I thought since it's cheap you'd want to know.


On a completely unrelated note: I'm giving away DustForce

Foam sheets, people.  Foam sheets!


EDIT:  Also, I have a PS/2 cable for a Model M available.  Just has some exposed wires near the end that connects to the keyboard, which I covered up with electrical tape.  Let me if you want that.

Can I ask for the ps2 cable now, although I'm actually asking on behalf of Dorkvader? I think he needs one. If he doesn't I withdraw my request.

[dorkvader]

Yes, I only need one more so I can use my Ms.

If someone have a spare fn and esc cap I would love to have it. When I bought my HHKB the seller gave the caps to pacifist to make them custom but since he left I don´t think I have any chance of retrieving them

[clacktalk]

Does anyone have a couple extra BS springs I can snag? My O key was chattering, and in the process of trying to fix it I stretched it out. I'll be 5ever indebted to your kindness.

I shoved the blunt end of a pen into it with the spring out and i think it registered properly with no chatter. I'll double check tonight.

I was about to say that, it does help. I really need to play that game again, it's been so long. I think the last time was back on the xbox 360, I need to try it now with my better setup.

Thinking of dead space is bringing up bad memories though, dead space 3 is the only game on the PC that I have ever bought at full $60 retail and it is such a bad game

[berserkfan]

since lots of people are asking for stuff thought I'd lend my voice too!

looking for 'interesting' and quality old pcbs, plates and casings for Cherry MX keyboards that nobody wants.

since this is a free thread I'm not looking for anything collectible. Am more looking for the kind of stuff that is nice but unappreciated and about to get tossed. EG some of you guys will buy a nice vintage, high quality board just for the MX clears and throw away the rest.

Am not looking for stuff made by Cherry Corp since that's basically cheap plastic. Stuff like a Deko Pinnacle would be awesome!

I might still have some stuff from 5 Wyse keyboards I've taken apart. If I can find them they are yours.

I am also looking for something.....I'm hoping somebody out there has some shiny Topre spacebars they don't need anymore. I need some for painting.

[Puddsy]

does EK still sell the HHKB spacebars?

Black only.

[do_Og@n]

Those are brand new ones. I'm looking for the shiny ones that people have used and don't want anymore. I am of course willing to pay for those and CONUS shipping.

Anyone have one or two cream tee mount alps switches? I failed to realize I'd need one extra to replace the lock switch in my M0110. If anyone else modded theirs and has a junk board leftover, I'd buy that for cheap too.
