Community sampler ?
« on: Mon, 10 November 2014, 15:52:47 »
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 Tour
My Tester which I still have
Hashbaz's Ultimate Switch Tester

Oh and I think nubbinator should have one too.

There is also a Novatouch tour being organised, if you want to try Topre.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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.
