Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

If someone wants to buy this for the caps I will buy the rest of the board for the switches :thumb:

Billnye, it's a good deal for caps and switches if you have someone in Germany to help you. You might want to try Deskauthority

bah that seller had a norway board a while back, which is now sold. The norway one is the best one as it's QWERTY not QWERTZ. though, skidata are good to kill, bolt on stabs and millions of clears. i've killed 4 or 5 :S
I got boards.

I think the bolt on type stabs are the default for everything produced by GMK.
I wish they still had Norwegian... :(

GMK desko does not have any bolt down, WEY EK2000 has none either. WEY HK2000 has a mix (bolt down for modular upper sections, clip in on lower section).

I have lost all my WEY photos, I think I will take more tomorrow.

Here's some pictures from before I cleaned it. Top "modular" sections have screw down stabilizers (you can see the top of the screw in the photo)

Normal stabilizers elsewhere:

The ones I had (without the fancy screen) had the bolt on type all over.

interesting: my EK2000 (which I have even less pictures of) is the type without the fancy screen and it doesn't have any screw down stabilizers.

I think GMK just tosses them in at random.

Do you know that the screw down stabilizers on WEY keyboards are the old type that without two tiny "bumpers" or are the new type?

new type, pretty sure. I'll see if I can take it apart sometime and take pictures.

those old ones look like wyse era or something. Didn't the WY50 have screws downs under it's spacebar (only stabilized key)
