My Realforce would be perfect if it had a detachable USB. I can't bring myself to defile it with a dremel just yet.

digilog case! or whatever its called

My body is ready but my wallet isn't quite yet.

Where does one even buy a digilog case nowadays?

Are they not on eBay anymore?

Don't see it.

They're still available.

My favorite keyboard is my customized Filco, and the only thing I don't like about it is that the aluminum case is so freaking heavy. It sucks because it gives the board the stability and zero flex I want, but a modern TKL that weighs 7+lbs is ridiculous. But what can you do? You want that feel and stability you have a metal case, and aluminum is the lightest material cases are available in.
Maybe someone will make a carbon fiber TKL case.

Do you have a build thread or photos? I love seeing modded filcos.

My DIY ergo board.. I hate that I used such poor plugs / sockets on the connecting cable between the halves, I have to make sure they're seated every time I adjust the position of the board. Definitely using RJ11 plugs on my next version.

2nd favourite is my KBT Pure Limited with Hammer plate and modded ErgoClears with white LED's. I hate that it doesn't have GMK Dolch keycaps on yet, but only a few weeks to wait now.... drool....

Here are some older photos, it hasn't changed too much though. I still use her every single day

My Ducky Mini nordic
Wish I had gone for a different switch than brown since I had brown on my old noppoo.
Really want to test out clears.

Mimic can make a USB cable with the Realforce connector. I think those are going to be next on my shopping list.

I love both my Realforce keyboards, but I wish they had a DIP switch to swap the Windows and Alt keys to create a proper Mac layout. On the variable silent, it would be nice if the home row were all 45g. Methinks it's time for some modding to take care of that.

Man, that's a beautiful board. I love the keycaps in the first picture with it.
And I agree, I'd be willing to drop some dough for a carbon fiber case on my Filco.

My favourite keyboard is my kishsaver and I hate that I can't use it at work.

My other favourite board is the hhkb and I hate that I need a custom controller to have a delete key on the base layer.

Quit your job and look for another one. Before hiring, put in your contract that you require the tinsaver as part of the job.

I have the same problem. Can't 6019284 at work.


Other than that, I love my Kingsaver with Complicated Blue Alps switches but hate that it doesn't seem to be grounded correctly. Or that it doesn't play nicely with my apartment's electrical system. And that its impossible to get fun colors for the keycaps nor are there many novelties for Alps switches.
