It is the second one I see with 6u spacebar, did you bend your wire yourself, as well?

For this one, yes. Only the spacebar through. I have some rounded pliers from jewelry making and Alps only require simple bends. Plus, like no one sells these.

Typing this on a Keyboardio Model 01 prototype. Not my daily driver yet, because it's a janky prototype, the firmware is missing essential functionality, and my daily driver is used for work. But at home, I'm trying to get a better feel of it.

Crucify me if you want, but I'm using a Kesingston Keyboard for Life. Yeah the $10 one with the ridiculous name. I returned my HHKB Lite2 earlier today because I realized this feels JUST LIKE IT. and it has a numpad and Fn keys! Amazing. Probably won't ever get use once my K65 makes it. Actually I might bring it to work since my $30 Aula with knockoff Blues I use at work is starting to fail

Sounds like an Ottawa get together is long overdue if there are three of us.

edit: I know so many people IRL that use mechanical keyboards exclusively, but none that modify them enough to be on GH. :(

Typing on a CM Storm QuickFire TK Stealth. It's ISO-Nordic and has MX Brown switches. I'm testing it to see that it works properly before I clean it and attempt to sell it online.

Just copped my first 60% board for gaming, been using a Blackwidow Ultimate w/ MX Blues since 2012. While the switches were fine, the thing took up far too much desk space, and I wanted to start getting different keysets; I especially want to try DSA. Just picked up a KBP V60 w/ gateron reds and they're fantastic.

KUL ES-87 w/MX Clears, Varmillo light gray PBT caps.  Nice solid feel, high contrast, and the scroll lock and caps lock indicator lights are compatible (not sure why I really care about that).  I'm not missing the LED lighting of the Varmillo, and MX Clears > Gateron Browns.

My endgame board. Topre RealForce RGB with Hypersphere silencing rings and Round 6 Space Cadet keycaps:

Looks neat. Congratulations on reaching your end game :)
I love the idea of this keyboard and it sounds like something you always wanted.

However, it's so far from my ideal keyboard. I only like factory silenced Topre (longer stems, more tactility), either 45G or Variable (loved 55G until my fingers got weak), and only with original Topre keycaps, ideally blanks as I dislike Topre's label designs.
I can't get used to spherical keycaps. I like their looks, and I do own several DSA and SA sets, but only as collectables, they don't fit my typing style.

That got me thinking what would be my end game and I think it could be done, and not that hard if I really bothered. That would be a factory silenced Topre, ideally beige, with blank keycaps and aluminium case (standard plastic cases suck, I get their front ridge and corners shiny very quickly).

So why not bother? I like to change from time to time. And I constantly rotate my MX Blue, MX Brown, MX Red and Topre boards. I also use my Vintage Black Ergodox from time to time and PCB mounted 62G Zealios GH60 when traveling. Oh and I must not forget about Model F AT that I use with my old IBM Valuepoint (486 SX) and white Space Invaders in my Amiga 500, but those are exotics and very rarely used (no time playing old games :().

Just a Korean classic with AT101 caps.



I probably paid $140~ total for both the Leading Edge DC-3014 and the Dell AT101 these caps came from. Feels good man.

There was that one listing for a DC-3014 that sold for $59.99 on eBay a few months back though. Luckky~ I got mine for $79 or $89. I forget.  :p
