I would be interested, but how would it work if people have HHKBs, 87u's, etc.

I would presume it's only for people wanting 62 sliders (enough for a HHKB). If you want enough for a 87u, then just buy a silenced one yourself.
Depending on the numbers and how many people are interested, some people with 87u's could be included, just depends on the number of people.I would be interested, but how would it work if people have HHKBs, 87u's, etc.

Oh, okay then. I won't bother this IC anymore.

Interested somehow.The RF purple slider are longer to compensate for the loss in key travel by the silencing rings.
Just a question though, how's the comparison? This sliders on HHKB and straight HHKB Type-S?
Not to discourage you guys, but with the back and forth shipping + small donation for the guy organizing everything, you'll each save $20 at best (with $10-15 being more realistic) while having to deal with being in a group buy and not being able to handle the sliders yourself. The main benefit would be the lower buy-in cost, which you already calculated to be around half compared to doing it all yourself. I do wish you luck if it happens, I almost participated in a similar idea on reddit but ended up doing it myself. Silencing topre is so worth it.I'm going to try and do everything at cost and try to keep the price overall for every as low as possible.
Any chance you could accommodate JIS keyboard users? :-*
This might be interesting... how do the sliders compare to landing pads or hyperspheres? I'd also be interested in this sort of approach, but for harvesting 55g domesYou can see this thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=89611.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=89611.0)
Please count me in on this as well. I couldn't deal with the reduced travel from other methods and this seems to be the solution.From what I have found, it appears purple sliders do reduce travel distance... but it is very, very minimal. It has to do with the dimple underneath and the height difference. From what I see on websites offering silenced RF's the travel distance is reduced from 4mm to 3.8mm.
Just one question. When swapping realforce purple sliders to an HHKB, are the enter and left shift keys left unswapped due to the stabilized sliders on the HHKB? I also found a picture of the barebones realforce silent:Here is a picture of my Silent RF104U that I am going to be harvesting the purple sliders from soon. The Shift key is black and not purple, but it is still silent.Show Image(http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o519/exhale85/Realforce%2087U/689cfe1f.jpg)
Are those black slider modifiers just left unsilenced in the stock board?
Hmm.. I wonder if the shift/enter sliders are taller than Pro2 sliders as well, and curious to know if the sliders are a different size/shape than the stabilized sliders on the HHKB left shift/enter.That I cannot help you on. I was going to do a 55g silenced HHKB by going the Type-S with swapped 55g RF domes but I have decided to mod a few 55g RF 87U's to silent instead with purple sliders.

I am guessing that only 1u sliders will be included in the deal?It looks like it wasn't too big of a deal putting RF purple sliders in an HHKB for this person:
