I'm wondering, my new ducky stopped working on my computer after rebooting. It flashes lights and doesn't work. It works on my laptop and the usb ports are fine since my other keyboards work thru them.

Yes i rebooted and tested other usb ports

I'm sorry this is not keyboard related. How to insert image into a post? After I click insert image I paste the code in between the two Show Image things.Using Flickr there is two options for the code. either </> or picture of a thumbtack code. When either is used the picture does not show up in the "preview post" option and there is just a very small icon or thumbnail where image is supposed to be and clicking on it makes it continuously load and nothing happens. Does the "preview post" option always do this? and the image will just work anyway or am I doing it wrong?

What is usually the size of the screws on the kibord?
Quote from: yasuo on Wed, 04 December 2013, 09:54:49What is usually the size of the screws on the kibord?Don't think there is a standard screw size. The Poker/Pures use these screws. Forget what size my KMAC and Epsilon use...I'll have to check later.
How would I go about changing the plate on a plate mounted board? Would I have to de-solder everything?
Just a quick update for ya'll. If you didn't know, all posts are limited to 40,000 characters. The OP of this thread is very close to reaching that limit. As a result, I will be taking over the second post. I hope Strelok and the rest of you are ok with that. The question will be preserved of course but I'll need the other 39,900 characters or so to keep expanding the FAQ. And yes I have the ability to modify his post.
Would there be a point to get aluminum case if I don't get an aluminum plate?
Quote from: yjfknt on Thu, 05 December 2013, 16:10:02Would there be a point to get aluminum case if I don't get an aluminum plate?What point are you looking for? Many keyboards have a stock metal plate to begin with. Edit: Not sure exactly what you're asking, need some clarification.

Edit: Not sure exactly what you're asking, need some clarification.I'm thinking about getting a poker II, and an aluminum case so it's sturdier and sounds better? but I'm not sure what plate poker has originally.

Edit: Not sure exactly what you're asking, need some clarification.I'm thinking about getting a poker II, and an aluminum case so it's sturdier and sounds better? but I'm not sure what plate poker has originally. Poker II has a metal plate. Not exactly sure what metal it is but it should be stainless steel. Aluminum plates are super light and it's very easy to tell if its aluminum or not. Judged on other stock plates I've seen, it's probably not aluminum. I own an aluminum TKL plate and I've worked with a KMAC, Epsilon stainless steel and acrylic plates, and QFR stainless steel plate. It will be fine if you swap out the case to an aluminum one.

Can Alps be opened without desoldering?

Magnets or holding the board at a 90 degree angle can help.

Is there a good description of how Alps switches are different (feel, sound, etc) from MX switches (or others) somewhere on here?
Quote from: swill on Fri, 06 December 2013, 10:45:09Is there a good description of how Alps switches are different (feel, sound, etc) from MX switches (or others) somewhere on here?I have a review of a Mr. Interface Switch try bag here and a review on the Dell AT101W from Akimbro's tour. There should be some Blue Alps reviews coming as well from Akimbo's Blue Alps tour. And the DT Wiki has some good info. I've also tried many of the common Alps and most of the MX switches if you want to discuss it in PMs or a different thread.

Are Alps keycaps available anywhere because I do not see them nearly as often as MX and even Topre...

Has anyone tried lubed blues with a slightly heavier spring (65g? or maybe the stock clear spring?)? I feel like this might be a really nice switch, but I'd definitely like to know if others have done this and what they think before I try modding anything.
