unless you start folding on the laptops, and they have some sort of full blown 3.8ghz i7s.. there's no way all that adds up to more than 15amps @ 120

Oh, that makes sense.  But a tsangan kit would give you a red spacebar too I think, right?  Maybe you'd need the RoW tsangan kit for that.  And that's just getting more and more expensive...  :P

- we never have enough $ to buy all keyboards and all keycaps
- some mechanical keyboards have weird layouts that we may never find replacement keycaps
For example (but not limited to):
(http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products/large/163946.jpg)
(http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TCblj4Nh.jpg)
- some keyboards do have 'ping' issue
- not all keycap set has the tsangan kits
- costa stabilizers and cherry stabilizers are different
- costa stabilizers are required to have Teflon tape if we want to work with non-OEM keycaps
...
Opps, today is a holiday, relax everyone because we need to deal with many more problems.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Start your own moggle/tsang kit
do the shelf liner mod to reduce ping
How hard is it to apply teflon tape?
How hard is it to change the stabs?

It doesn't mean that these problems cannot be resolved.
Sure, I always believe that we can find a resolution for any problem one way or another.
I just list the problems so that we can accept them and deal with them nicely.

Most likely Aussie Rules football, which is not really played anywhere else in the world.

Heh like American football is not really played anywhere else either.

Soccer is played across most of Europe.

And rugby is ... dunno.

I'm going to shut up now, I have no idea what I'm talking about :p
