For you SSK lovers.

Seller seems legit.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Interesting second post - you looking for an SSK, or got one already?

Thanks!

I was thinking about picking this up but figured someone else here would appreciate it more.

I love the feel of bs switches but not the pinging noise.

Get it and do a floss mod. I floss modded the SSK I use at work.

Oh hmmm it never occured to me that you could floss mod a ssk. I just assumed the ping was from the actual spring buckling.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that.

edit: I'm an idiot. For some reason I read 'floss mod' and my brain interpreted as 'dental band' like you do on a topre.
This mod seems pretty cool. I'll see if I can get one of my friend's who has an ssk to try it.

Thanks!

There are some wheelwriter 3 series keyboard with o-rings on them. but I'm told they don't do much.

As someone who has a pocket full of wheelwriter 3 o-rings, I think I might just do some science this weekend.
