The Miniguru, no question.

Would be cooler with MX Reds, the Choc Mini Layout and keycaps for neo (with different colored backit for each modifier), but you can't ask for too much ;)

+1 for the miniguru with blue or clears.

But I would settle for a Topre Realforce 105UB Swedish ISO Variable weight AND a Lenovo Thinkpad USB keyboard with trackpoint so I could fuse those two together... :)

At last! A mechanical keyboard with Trackpoint of my own! Now with Hyper-Scroll! And also Ergo-Clear switches. Ohh... look... custom keys! :D

Hey man funny you mentioned lenovo... I'm on my X220 w/ a KBC Poker on top, I bought myself a really short USB to mini USB cable, now the keyboard is positioned on top of the laptop and I still have access to the trackpad + the two physical mouse buttons.

Would it be hard to remove the trackpoint from the keyboard and mod it into the KBC Poker? I've really wanted the Mini Guru but sadly it failed and I can't help but notice the resemblance it has with the KBC Poker, the key layout is EXACTLY the same. The only difference is that the Mini-Guru has a smaller bezel and has, more important the trackpoint (and also two mouse buttons, but this doesn't matter to me at all).

Topre Realforce 105UB med svensk layout? ...

Skulle du vara sugen att bli den femte ägaren till den här?
Den första ägaren slarvade bort den svarta Enter-tangenten, tyvvär.
Du kan få den för 1100 inkl frakt. Jag bor i Stockholm.

Själv gillar jag mina Cherry Clears mer än min Topre.

If I can mod my Phantom to accept non-cherry switches, then I will be happy :pray:

Actually, the Mini guru has WAY better FN layer than the Poker, much more thought out.

I guess so, I kinda like the layout on my poker though xD I guess when you use something for a while, u kinda get used to it.

Holy necro-bump Batman!

I'll play though. I'm pretty happy with my staple of boards now so probably any old Cherry board with OG dyesubs. Preferably an NCR G81-3077, would like to swap the MY board out for an MX PCB.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I really want to try topre, so probably topre. Other than that, either SSK or unsaver.

Well, last Christmas I got my Topre fix. I'm working on my dream MX board right now... All that's left is a Kingsaver with Complicated Blues, or a KMAC-esque custom.


But really someone sell me a Kingsaver.  ^-^

I guess the only keyboard I would really like to have is the Steampunk'd Model M.  Give me that.

I'm pretty doubtful I will ever get one of them, but I can dream.

What keycap set? Or are you going to use RA? And you can't go wrong with black.

All the keyboards I have my eye on right now are ortholinear or ergo customs.

I really need to get a soldering iron.
