Yeah I saw that, and you can't really tell if keys are worn on not. They don't look bad though

The keys are in great condition, its a mental disorder, that little scratch bugged the hell out of me.
Anyway, I made an offer for $90 and he accepted so unless you want to give him more money there's no reason to buy it at that price.

It was kindof impulsive, is this the dolch that you can put in a 1800 case? Doubleshots?

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 27 March 2013, 16:15:34: Or do it the gangsta way and use the switchplate from the G81 underneath the MX PCB. Makes it feel more beefy without ruining the good PCB mount feeling.

Post by: esoomenona on Wed, 27 March 2013, 16:24:06: On another note, who decided MY was a switch they should make? Those things are horrible...

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 27 March 2013, 18:04:29: Believe it or not MY started out as not a total sh!t feeling, but they changed the design sometime around 1990 I think for cost saving and we have the awful things most are familiar with that have had the displeasure. I am not saying the old ones are fantastic, but they are better or at least as good as most domes unlike the more recent ones where many would prefer a domes.
