The Max Keyboard sampler is finally available and I am THIS close to buying it. But there is an idea that crossed my mind...
Is there anyone that can make a "community" sampler? Like all the Cherries (Red, Black, Brown, Clear, Blue, Green, Gray, White), set of the most used O-rings (3-5 pcs from each), some special springs (golden, various stiffness), keycaps with different profiles (stock, DCS, DSA, etc.) and finally some non-cherry switches for comparison (Matlas, Topres...).
Don't tell me you don't have a bunch of unused parts that are close to useless because you have only a few of them :)
Plan B
What about an "expansion kit" for the Max Keyboard sampler? Like everything above except the switches?
Any thoughts? Any volunteers?

There are two of these: hashbaz has one in a Filco and I have one that's just on a plate. Also I tried doing keycaps a keycap tour too but the package was lost in the mail and I lost the keycaps.

My Tester which I still have (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44312.msg989199#msg989199)

Oh and I think nubbinator should have one too.

There is also a Novatouch tour (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=64602.0) being organised, if you want to try Topre.

Hmmm... Very interesting.
Still, I rather do it as a DIY project. I'm afraid that I wouldn't want to send away the board when it comes to my mailbox :D
Ordering the MK 8-sampler ... the other stuff I'll try to hoard when I have the permission to post in the trading forum.
