They're all much more expensive on Amazon, regardless of size or model.
My JP Post one was 6 bucks on Aliexpress, and it's 21 bucks on Amazon.

Well, the quality on the more expensive ones is a little better, but it's nothing major

Original sets come up on eBay occasionally and I'm pretty sure some guy on DT is selling a set right now!

An ebony hardwood wrist rest from massdrop. It's actually really nice for the money. Pics tomorrow

Okay, so I'm late.

Royal Glam wrist rest from Massdrop.
It's Ebony and TKL sized.





So I made the mistake of cleaning it with a small lens cleaning wipe.

Turns out that it ruins the finish because the wood is oiled.

Fortunately I had some beard oil.



Also looks great with a white board.


Though I was planning to use it some time in the future with my FC660M for work.

Special thanks to tjcaustin, Binge, infiniti, and shadovved for the really really amazing gifts in today's mail haul. I wish I could put into words how much I appreciate it. I can't wait to build this Christmas tree!!

[terrpn]

nice haul............

[nubbinator]

Not exactly today, but recently.  Also, I'm a dumbass and forgot to take pics of the RGB mod set and Gas Mask key caps that Shadovved sent to me out of the blue.

M0116 with Orange Alps.  I have the key caps too, but I haven't tossed them back on after cleaning.  I'm still debating if I want to use these on my Infiniti or if I want to play around and mod the keyboard and if I want to keep them stock Oranges or click mod them.




Everex NMB Hi-Tek Clicky Blacks.  Sorry for the crappy edit on the second, I just wanted you to be able to see the switches.








NMB Hi-Tek Linear White Switches








Leitch G81-3000LANUS with thin lasered PBT and thick pad printed ABS.  The white MY feel better than black MY, but still are pretty crappy.  A cool board though.  I'm debating if I want to keep it as is or try and swap a G80 or Leeku PCB in (if I can find one).  It's a cool case and I love the cap set.  The pad printing is really nice.

[IvanIvanovich]

The colored keys are dyesub or infilled for the white legends not pad printing. I never noticed before the cursors have A profile... that's kind of odd. If it was me I would grab a cheap G80-3000, swap the internals around and dump the G81 with plain caps and case back on ebay.

[hwood34]

Nice haul today



Some cooking supplies and tea. Figured I'd try it with actual bricks and happened to see the pu erh but didn't want to spend much money so the cheap stuff for me



Omnikey w/ white alps and cyrillic alphas I got a while back. Probably gonna switch the whites out, they're OK on most keys but it's killing me on the spacebar, L shift, and enter
edit: yeah these switches are horrible and the spacebar is almost impossible to hit. blues here I come



And finally got my Krytone caps. These things are awesome

They don't look/feel like they're engraved and infilled.  They're super smooth without any of the little ridges you usually feel with engraved.  The grey legends on the color caps could be dyesub as they're nice and sharp, but the white on blue looks like pad printing to me.

Of course, I'm really bad at eyeballing caps and figuring out if they're dyesub, engraved and infilled, or pad printed, especially if they're worn.

LET THE KEYBOARD FORUM WARS BEGIN!!

but seriously, I didn't even notice that, that's hilarious.  If I post a pic of it at DT, will it break the forum?

[IvanIvanovich]

It's possible they changed it at some point... can you see around the edges on the top a clear coat? If there isn't one it's not pad printing.

Woah, nice! What are the switches? I got the MaxKB 8 sampler and it has Blue, Green, White, Brown, Clear, Gray, Red, and Black. I can't... actually think of any other MX switches, unless it's like jailhouse blues or ergo clears or some other hybrid...

Nice to see you found one nubbs!!

The grey legends could be pad printed too. Pad print is usually nice and sharp from Cherry, unless it's worn. How do the coloured keys look underneath? Nice and thick? Wondering because your board does look different from this one, which is definitely dyesubbed : http://cafe.naver.com/sfkey/352

The colored caps are nice and thick.  They're probably dyesubbed, I've just never felt PBT that feels this way.  I'm pretty sure they're dyesubbed, I'm just not sure about the Q and F1-F4.

I'm not much of a fan of the Deathadder, but this thing looks gorgeous.



And before anyone pisses in their paints, that's a replica, a mod, it's not the legendary "Cypher Deathadder", although there is an original Deathadder 3.5G in there (though the real version had 3G internals).
