I thought my Poker was too light. So I filled it full of lead.

Not sure how much it weighs exactly, but it's heavier than my Rosewill now. xD

how did you attach all of that stuff without the keyboard making a hell of a noise when you move it around?

Lots and lots of hot glue

​I do the same thing with my Cherry 'boards, 'cept I put some rubber deskmat stuff in between the lead and the PCB.

Oh yeah of course. I did the same. I just didn't show a picture of it. I wouldn't watch that lead bridging anything

where are the guys who screamed lead-poisoning in the keycaps thread? :doh:


but good idea.

anyway: if you do it the next time (or for those who want to do that as well), you might consider to use these lead-tapes we use in golf: http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30040212/golfsmith-1 (http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30040212/golfsmith-1)

no need to handle glue etc.

Peda, inside the case means no contact in normal use. Big difference from a key cap. Lead poisoning is cumulative, like arsenic, etc.

This is what I use its perfect http://tinyurl.com/7lg8nyk ;) I have it in 2 Rosewills now modding one for someone as well. Since my DOX uses a poker case I should be able to add it in there right?  Also I recommend putting at least 2 if not 3 layers of electrical tape on top just in case. I didnt do this originally and had some problems.
