Nice pictures! I wonder is it possible to remove the different coloured pieces (eyes/mouth piece) to mix and match them?

It's probably possible, though I'd venture they're held in there by a bit more than just friction.

Awesome tool there zeal, looks nice :)


My head hurts pretty bad right now and I will probably refrain from the computer for the night unless it gets better but I thought I should post this.

I finally finished off my little collection of green dsa extras for my keyboard thanks to codymaust who gave me the esc and 2 return keys for free as well as some RGB modifier sets.  :)

Hold on there. Is that an SA dolch set? And where did you get the extra green keys?
That set is DSA. The extras are from the retro DSA set.

Sounds like a cue for a SA Dolch IC! ;)

Such yellow.

Very Raven.

So translucency.

Much movable visors.

Wow!
"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

Will edit this for formatting and add it to my sig later.

That is indeed the switch tool from KBD mania.
And indeed from shapeways, good eye nubs.
I will supply the 3d file FROM KBDm converted to a usable format for shapeways for anyone who wants it.
Be warned I paid $35 for my black matte steel,which I received a week before Zeal, but it is too tight to practically open switches.
It requires a lot of effort to remove the bottoms. It could be still be used, and maybe bent to be more easily used.
Zeal got polished white plastic $15 and polished brass $70 [which is cast and then poured rather than 3d printed]
and his tools, I'm told, work better than mine, but still not perfect.
Also this will only work on switches you haven't soldered yet because you gotta sit them right in it.
AND IF YOURE ROUGH OPENING THEM YOU CAN WRECK THE LEGS SO THE SWITCH TOPS DONT SIT CLOSED PROPPERLY.

Nice pictures! I wonder is it possible to remove the different coloured pieces (eyes/mouth piece) to mix and match them?

Do they have a webstore yet? I bought a pair if them via a group buy here but haven't been following the project that much more than the instagram posts. Get more and more jelly from these nice transparent keycaps. :(

Cherry dyesubs usually feel very smooth with a fine texture, but very dry also. That's why I like them so much, the texture is perfect.

I got my new motherboard!
(Attachment Link)
A Gigabyte G1.Assassin2. It should be a very nice upgrade from my old evga P55... now just having to wait for my new Xeon hex core to arrive so I can use it.

Are... Are you using a Xeon in a gaming machine?

Yes. I have Xeon in my current P55 too. They are usually much cheaper than 'same' i7 chips so... I don't see any reason not to buy them instead and save $$$.

They're sever processors. You'll get better performance out of an i5 than a Xeon in games.

Whatever works, though. Just an efficiency thing.

There really isn't much difference between Xeon and i7 at stock clocks. Only differences really in Xeon is they may have some additional features that may not useful on desktop motherboard (wrong chipsets for feature support). If you compare them on benchmarks they always tie or maybe just few point difference. Xeon will crush i5... unless it lowest end Xeon i5 equivalent models without HT then same.

After some googling, it's become apparent that I'm definitely just dumb this time.

That's the keyboard I could try the last time you visited me, isn't it? If that's so, I remember those heavy switch OMG! MX Greens and Clear were marshmallow compared to them.
