MxMini layout
« on: Fri, 23 August 2024, 15:03:07 »
Hey guys, looong time out the game.

I have an mxmini from maybe 10+ years ago, a korean custom 75% with original 80's Dolch caps.

I'm looking to get a new mech, I just have a question as I can't seem to find much info... do any of you knowledgeable folk know of a 75% keeb with 1.5u ctrl + alt and no windows key same layout as mine?

Oh also, are my OG Dolch worth anything anymore with 10+ years of daily shine :D

Thanks in advance, pic for attention..
Sorry its really dirty.

Sorry to be more specific, its the "compactness" of the layout.

There was another board 10 or more years ago called the noppoo choc mini with similar that's what I'm after, no gaps between the key sections.

Compact 75% is not so hard.  If you want to keep using those lovely keycaps, you may have to find a solder PCB with a lot of bottom row options.  I believe the KBDFans KBD75 v2 supported your layout, but I can't find it in stock.  The Manta 75 could support the keys and is open source, but it puts small gaps between the key groups and would have to be ordered from a fabricator.

Shine does take a little bit of the value off, but not a ton IMO. Most OG sets you're gonna find out there have been shined to some degree IME. A new set of OG Doubleshots would sell for much more than a shined set, but a shined set of OG doubleshots would still be valued by a good bit of the community as long as they are in good shaped other than that.
