I spent 30 minutes writing a very detailed review of this, only to accidentally lose it in the browser.  So screw it... here, I got a wrist rest.

24069-224071-3


It's super comfortable, the memory foam is hot and makes my wrist sweat slightly, the printing on the case is STUPID and sticky on your hand, the cover comes off, and I plan to mod it to be shorter and use a different cover.

 :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

(Oh, and this is the 3/4" version... even though it is 1".  Unless they sent the wrong one.)

Is that one of the new Leopold numpads?  Where did you order it from?  I haven't seen any for sale in the US yet...

I believe qtan proxied some of those.

Nice, just ordered one w/ blues and a poker ii w/ browns from him.

I got this mystery key today. Does this have a name? I have seen people post pics of this lately but didn't pay it much attention. Now I can find those posts about it.

Nevermind I found the thread. Thanks mystery person whoever you are.

You are changing for the better :) Greens and Clears are the best feeling switches :) Along with Ergo-Clears :)
I have to agree. I tried ergo clears and the difference to browns was minimal to me. Tried them side by side on my old poker.

They were from some new browns. This was before all these Korean springs were around. Which would you recommend?

SP seriously can't make correctly sized molds? Odd. Still, those are pretty sweet looking.

The next question is, how do they feel like?

I wanted to buy the SPH but the gap stopped me.
To get molds for 3 keys is going to require a Cherry Legend Project type of fundraising. A single group buy isn't going to raise enough money.

Dont know how they feel as I didn't get a chance to put the rest of the keys on. I have a ocd with Keycaps not matching and ended up trading them for a another r3.

I just received my first pbt set from Feng. I must say that the wait was worth it. Didn't expect cherry profile and thick pbt to make such a huge difference when typing, but it does!

Here's some pic!

The keys!

Thanks.  Yeah, I got the smaller size since it was the one recommended for my phone and it fits in my pocket no problem.  I just take it out when I sit.  Also, one note is that it doesn't have a regular cash area, so I just fold it and put it in the pocket on the right.

This poor old lady just arrived in such condition:
24167-0
24169-1
24171-2
Already cleaned her up and as I expected it was just dirt, no tears and scratches.
Obviously will need a bolt mod and few springs and keys to be replaced, but I've got Model M terminals and plenty of IBM/Unicomp parts to get her up and running again!

Got this some time ago, but it fell to the floor and I didn't know until I vacuum the floor today, it was scratching everywhere. ~_~ Sad that the paint came off, but it looks very durable and nice too.
