Free Lavender Topre WASD cluster to the first PM with a CONUS address. Took them out of the bag and had them on the board once, did not care for the contrasting wasd keys.

I hate to bother and ask for things, but I may have just lost a topre key

Does anyone have an extra Topre black printed Pause/Break key they would be willing to part with?

I might have a blank black key in the right profile, if that would help you at all?  At least to fill in the missing space?

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Hoff to the rescue!

Good to hear.  Just as long as it doesn't make your avatar happy, we're safe, haha.

Thank you very much for the replies guys, you rock.

I suppose wires have the same length, either straight or bent, in any case, the one I have is straight, but I could take any, or even both, just for the sake of experimentation in the name of keyboards science.

 ) )

Yes, they have the same length.  Sometimes the bend can cause problems when using PCB mount cherry stabilizers with a plate because the bend does not have clearance.  There was also a batch of 6.25u cherry stab wires that had an incorrect bend (one of Ivan's group buys which was corrected), but that means there are some 6.25u wires floating around that have issues regardless of plate.  If you hand wire you can still use those wires just by flipping them over (if I remember correctly).

Anyway, PM me if you still need the 7u. 

Thank you sir.

[ideus]

I also hate to ask for things, but there is no other place to get a 7u stab wire as a stand alone item. Anyone?

You need straight or bent? To clarify I'm talking about how some wires have a bend in the middle and some are straight in case that didn't make sense.

I think only the 6.25u ones have a bend.  All the 7u ones I have seen have been straight...

Ok I wasn't sure, I've got a bag of stab wires with different sizes, not quite sure what all is in there but if you can help then I won't  have to

Would anyone happen to have a gold-plated 6.25u wire? I wouldn't mind paying for it! I have  7u wire, but I'm unsure at this moment if I'll be needing it.

Is your 7u gold wire available?

I will most likely not be using it, but I'm not 100% sure at the moment! I'll keep you in mind.

Sooo much love... lol  Great group of folks floating around here.

Just harvested one of my Ms. If anyone needs parts, you can PM me. Most of the springs and spacebar + some mods already gone.


Also does anyone know a good and cheap hydrodip service?

Excuse me, what's a faceplace? I'd like to keep the case including bottom /top case part and LED cover for painting tbh.

[ramnes]

I've got something like five G81-1000/3000 cases to give for the price of shipping.

I can also send out metal backplate if someone want to mod his G80.

Shipping for a case should be 12€ in Europe and 23€ anywhere else. Please PM me only if you're ready to assume shipping and really need the case and/or backplate.

Yea - the case. No problem! Shipping from Germany would probably kill the deal anyways.

I know I need some f keys to fix one of my boards that was missing keycaps from day one.  I think it was f5 and f9, f11 and f12 if memory serves me right.

Will do!  I actually have a UPS account so shipping is on me.   Let me see if I can find out the exact keys I need too.  No need to ship things to me that someone else could use.

Anyone got some Cherry MX DSA arrow keys? Any color will do, but if you have black (NDY/NEM) ones that would be perfect

Blanks I have tons of (http://i.imgur.com/yu8K6Ev.jpg), I just need some caps with arrow labels on them to ease the transition into using vim.

I am looking for free advice. Anyone know where I can find a 30g topre board or want to sell me theirs?

[nubbinator]

I am looking for free advice. Anyone know where I can find a 30g topre board or want to sell me theirs?

Ansi: Taobao

JIS: Yahoo Auctions, Amazon Canada, Amazon Japan, Diatec, Amazon Japan, Amazon Japan, Amazon Japan

Unfortunately, most are JIS and you're very limited in color options.  I think there are some others floating around there (namely the AE), but 30g uniform is rare and most people who have one either got the AE board or cannibalized it out of two variable weight boards, then sell a 45g uniform or 45g with some 55g.

Thanks dude. That's kind of what I figured.  I don't remember what I tried at the mtl meetup, but it was glorious. I need to track down who that was.

Do you know if a 30g uniform ANSI layout even exists?

What is a UPS account good for?

If you give someone your account number they can use it to charge the sipping directly to you

It's not that easy to use someone else's account number, but you can with the right information.  The main benefit of a UPS account is daily rates if you have the volume, or at least 50% off the ridiculous retail rates they charge if you even just ship one time.

What I will usually do is prepare the complete shipment, and just send you a pdf of a ups label that you just attach to the box and drop anywhere ups packages are accepted.    Makes it even easier. 

I haven't been able to find the M with the missing keycaps and it's bugging the crap out of me.  I want to get the right keycaps, but I guess if I get extras I can just pay it forward right here.

looking for 2 cherry stablisers, don't even need the wires, ( just 4 of the pcb clip thingies )

Didn't want to bother with a classified post, but if anyone has extras laying around i'd like to buy or I can trade you some keyboard goodies for them.

I might have a couple I'll have to check though. It might only be the Costar clips I have.

I was about to ask for the same thing. Haha. Mine was to hold up a stainless steel bro on a 30g Topre board.

I've got an old foam and foil board in the shed with big springs, I'll try and see if they are similar enough to fit. It might be a few days.

That was a thought that I had. Early thanks for checking!


EDIT: I did some intense research (read: googled a few pictures) and foam&foil spacebar springs do look very similar to topre spacebar springs in size. Anyone have a throwaway foam and foil board they'd be willing to let me use?

I threw one away a couple of months ago because no one wanted to buy it for $0 + shipping. Sorry.
