is there such things as a mechanical keyboard with half height keys?
He could get a Filco tenkeyless with cherry or fukka switches for under 100 USD. By the way, did anyone get one of the fukka boards when they became available a few months ago? I'm wondering how that panned out.
The Cherry ML switches are low profile, and usually have short keys to go with them. Just look at the ML-4100 as an example. The only problem I've seen is that they aren't always friendly to key strikes that aren't dead center (that is, they can hang when your finger hits the edge of the key). I was also going to mention to IBM M4, but then I remembered it's rubber done.
What is the model F?
Why recommend me the Cherry Brown?
Nice switch, terrible layout. I prefer the IBM Mini.
I like the fukka but its still a tad much resistance. ( I am trying to mitigate that by changing out the click leafs with those from a black alps)

Metal leaves are more to do with tactility than resistance. I put a Black Alps leaf into my Blue Alps assembly and got... a lighter Black Alps.
Still felt as bad as a Black Alps, so I went back to the Blue Alps again.
I don't think so. Sandy's site has the creams but I can't see any difference in the click leaf.
I think we brainwashed the OP.
the US ones are made better and stronger, and the money went to support working families,
the UK ones are riddled with electrical problems and often have ghosting/transposition issues when typing words like 'color'
What is the difference between a keyboard made in the UK and a keyboard made in the US. I am looking at these two keyboards here:

How much does clickykeyboards charge for shipping (to Canada)? The keyboard price is $45 + unknown shipping but if the shipping it too high I might as well get a model M from ebay? (I emailed clickykeyboard last week for a shipping quote, no reply yet hopefully because they don't work on weekends).
In a bad mood today?

So they're trying to force their spellings upon others?

Look top right - then at the foot - then just below the screw hole. See the groove? None of my US made IBM M's have that. Means your foot is about to fall off!!! And those drainage channels are da bomb! :biggrin1: :usa2:
My measurements were without screws, just the shells. Two different scales +/-1 g.
