There's a user named Tsangan here right..?

Was it because he made them?

mkawa · « **Reply #1 on:** Thu, 23 August 2012, 10:46:08 »

yep, he came up with that accessory kit keyset based on his encyclopedic knowledge of boards with weird layouts

He is super-famous! :drool:

You should look up the "tsangwish incident" as well. :-)

And moogle kits are NOT named after the final fantasy moogles, though the user who came up with the idea might have had his username named after final fantasy moogles.

ALTHOUGH, hashbaz has made so many more moogle kits than moogle did that i think they should now be named hashbaz kits

What's the difference between moogle kits and tsangan kits...?
they're generally those modifier keys right? or am i wrong..

hashbaz · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 23 August 2012, 11:02:14 »

Tsangan kits have 1.5x modifiers, a 7x space bar, 1x modifier keys and a short right Shift. They are mainly for use with Korean custom keybaords.

Moogle kits generally have 1.25x modifiers, standard-width Shifts, Caps Lock, and 6.25x space bar. They are for use with standard-layout ANSI keyboards (Filco, Leopold, etc.).

mkawa · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 23 August 2012, 11:03:15 »

tsangan kit: compatibility kit for 87 and 104-key (winkeyed) keysets to fit winkeyless keyboards and weird keyboards like the PURE and some other cherry boards that have short right shifts.

hashbaz/moogle kit: compatibility kit for 84 and 101-key (winkeyless) keysets to fit modern 87 and 104-key (winkeyed) keyboards.

in some ways, they are duals of each other, but the basic idea is that sometimes, you need a winkeyless set to fit a winkeyed board (eg, vintage cherry keycaps on a filco) and sometimes you need modern winkeyed sets to fit winkeyless boards (eg, imsto's thick PBTs on a vintage cherry or custom board like a korean board or a phantom)

Huh, I wonder who will get credit for the Dolch reproduction sets...

HMMMMMMMM

singaporean123 · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 23 August 2012, 11:06:33 »

Got it!

Thanks for the input guys! I'm new to mech keyboards and always thought those names= designs, instead of the layout and sizes.

Thanks a bunch!

I imagine they'll just be called "Dolch replica sets".

If we must attach a name I'll make sure they are called Zombie sets. ;P

i like it: DOLCH, BACK FROM THE DEAD

READY TO ROCK YOUR KEYBOARD

hashbaz · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 23 August 2012, 11:30:31 »

Zombie Dolch, or ZD sets. I like where this is going.

necro thread or not.

tsangan is NOT a zombie.

tsangan is an awesome dude.

I have a Dolch "Reproduction" set made by SP I bought in 2010. I believe it was Round 3 or 4?

Then another group buy from SP for Dolch moogle kits.

After that I think the next was Sherry for Dolch with GMK in August 2013. And the whole set was less than $100.

That looks to be a Round 3 set, which was well before tsangan kits were a thing. R3 also included the original round of moogle kits, which to my knowledge was the first adapter kit ever made by geekhackers.
