Ah, that's why I specified several times 'very dirty', '8 clears for $2SGD (USD1.5), can't complain', etc.
Note that 'very dirty' DOES NOT APPLY to 99% of my switches. In fact more than half of my switches -basically the red, brown and black switches - are new because I'd bought several Cherry POS new as well as a new Rosewill. If you recall our negotiations, I'm really down to my last keyboard's worth of clears which I have been holding back because of poor condition.
After you, I can't sell a keyboard's worth of clears to anyone anymore, unless I desolder my Deck Legend. Which I will, if I still can't fix it. Anyone with suggestions please see http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62693.0
And don't worry, the clears on that Deck are very clean. You can see lots of my PCB photos too in that thread. I"m really frustrated about this multimeter-and-following-traces crap.
I can't believe those 50 key 4704 boards haven't sold.
I'll take all 120 clears if you're willing to sell at a slight discount ;)
What a nice person :) I don't need the switches anymore. I was digging around in my closet filled with random stuff and found another bag of clear switches! :D
Haha, I was about to try and get my clear switches from you. When you're throwing together a 60%, buying 110 is a bit excessive. Now I've got 49 extra switches.
Hey gutz!
Do you know the keyboard these chinese keycaps came from? I love them, but the profiles on the keys are distinctly -not- QWERTY. I arranged it by profile and the rows look like this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/XGmrSln.jpg)
The bottom two rows are the same, so it's 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4. Just wondering what the original layout was because I can't assemble the roman letters as I normally would, or else I would be typing on mountains of different profiles :P
Edit: CRAP I posted this in the wrong thread. I meant to reply to your other WTS thread. >.<
I was really hoping that the broken ergodox would come back on the market fixed =(
You can get a brand new Ergodox for $199...

+ shipping and keycaps
Can I lowball you on the Ergo dox?
Answer to someone who has been contacting me by PM:
Let me give you some friendly advice since you have indicated a shoulder pain problem that I would like to help you solve, without actually selling you my ergodox:
1) You can try this layout. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Cherry-USB-Keyboard-RC80BM-Black-/131366427895?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1e960c9cf7 The seller is very nice and friendly and will easily discount 25%, maybe 30%. I have the RC128BM version and did my first split modified colemak layout on it and loved it totally. Put the numpad in the middle so your alphas are 4 keys apart. Totally programmable, indubitably solid build. Very heavy. I have a photo log of the RC128BM (Tipro) internals somewhere. If you don’t buy, sooner or later I will give in to temptation and buy!
2) You can try the Hengyu or Citaq POS keyboards. Right now the shop I bought them from http://shop67856580.taobao.com/shop/view_shop-7f437f1e2250807a9e7eac863b8fa7b6.htm?spm=a1z0b.7.1000329.1.xiwrao on Taobao is out of stock, but they are very inexpensive when sold as scrap. They’re easy to hook up to teensy, light yet sturdy. There’s space to include a Bluetooth module for wireless use. One Citaq or two Hengyu will allow you to do a split layout, and the advantage of a matrix layout is that they are going to have far, far closer locations for your thumbs. Unless you have a Nordic goddess for a girlfriend, I don’t think Ergodox is comfortable for most women’s hands.
3) You can buy a pair of Access-IS 10x8 matrix keyboards as shown in the pictures in the OP on this thread. These are easy to USB-program. I am not selling mine but just keep your eyes open.
4) Take a deep breath and buy this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46277.0 from Prdlm. Since you’re good at bargaining you might get it for under $200.
5) Go for this http://www.ebay.com/itm/KINESIS-ESSENTIAL-KB132PC-WIRED-ERGONOMIC-KEYBOARD-WHITE-USED-/121503248440?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1c4a287038 It’s the original ergodox and only $100 shipped.
Just curious, did you kill a skidata to get those clears? the timing makes me wonder.
do the jailhouse blues actuate at the bump/click? I've heard that some jailhouse blues don't. Also compared to browns how loud would you say the jailhouse blues are?
Sorry forgot to ask this in the earlier post but did you use the O-rings or the wire method of locking them down?
didn't read the entire thread so maybe it has been answered
but are the brown mx switches pcb or plate mount?
Hey, I would really like enough of those green switches to fill a poker (61 or 62 I think?). I actually own a hhkb as well so would love to compare :-D
would your light springs with the clears make ergo clears?
Odd request... I'm after a couple of clear switches, mounted if possible, to use as a ghetto switch sampler so I can find out if I want to transition from browns to clears. Doable?
What mounting are you talking about?
As I am not conus I suggest trying the 'free things' section. Just ask for a clear; some people might be able to spare.
The linear grays are plate mount or PCB?I bought some from this thread and they don't have the extra plastic pins so that makes them plate mount, I think?

How much to ship the clear springs to Canada?
Have you desoldered any more white switches and are they PCB or plate mount?
Have you desoldered any more white switches and are they PCB or plate mount?
Yes now have lots. All pcb mounted New casings because I am keeping the plate mounted.

Awesome. And what kind of springs are the light ones? Depending on what kind they are I'd be interested in them.
Went and picked up my clears at the post office today, great stuff :)
