Sister wants a mechanical for birthday/Christmas with the following:- Full-size/Num Pad- Backlit (preferably white, to be used in conjunction with those LED covers)- Green/Clear switches (after sorta hearing mine)- Option for English/Hangul key caps (she loves Korean stuff - not as important as the other 3)My first thought would be a Code. However, I'd prefer to stay a bit lower in the price category. So that would probably mean a Shine 3? Only other option off the top of my head would be a TK, but finding one with Green or Clear switches would be quite difficult.Any other thoughts?

How do I remove the manual cover on an IBM 3278? Usually I'd try a few things myself, but I really don't want to damage this cover!
Does UV affect non-white boards? Just brought my realforce to work and I now suddenly realized it's gonna be in direct sunlight most of the day. Is there anything to worry about?

Besides, the caps are PBT and will be more durable and less prone to UV damage anyways.
Would this setup be considered to have NKRO? Not that it matters in function due to the physical constraints of the setup, but the inner geek is curious and I lack the full understanding of shift registers.http://www.usbtypewriter.com/products/easy-conversion-kithttp://www.instructables.com/id/USB-Typewriter/
How do I get my 356 mini to work? does it only work on PS2 connection? is there a firmware I have to download? someone please help me out!
Do all cherry keyboards come with gmk as stock keys? (that is thick keys)
two quick questions.1. Where can I find the default layout for the JD40? Swill flashed his giveaway board with it and I have no idea what the layout is on this thing.2. Also, anything I need to be aware of before I open up stickered switches? Thinking of swapping these springs out for clears and a gray on the spacebar.
why does my samurai sound like Japanese Batman?

The stickers won't work with SIP sockets.
I don't know why everyone says this, I've done this before with no issues. The sticker has a slit cut in it and the SIP sockets are just below the level of the sticker, so it's perfectly fine.
This thing is REALLY weird typing on coming from nothing but full sized boards. I am ok typing text so far but reaching for backspace feels weird and I can not seem to find the damn quotes. Even period is weird but I suppose that comes with the territory.

Some people, including JD, have suggested using the HHKB layout. So CTRL or Function takes the place of Caps Lock and |\ is Backspace.
Does the AVR deal support the JD40?

I think modern fire retardant formulas are less prone to yellowing. I don't expect you to have an issue.The only modern plastic I know of that suffered from it was a clack.

I flashed a new layout probably 10 times the first day I used it, because everything I thought would be awesome was super awkward.

What profile are the keycaps on the Realforce 87u (45g uniform)?
I can take some quick pictures between realforce and cherry profile if you would like. (And OEM) But I would say realforce/topre is more like cherry than oem.EDIT: Just checked, they are about OEM. Compared to my keycaps from WASDkeyboards, the only row that really stuck out to me was the shift key row as it is a slightly more angled.
Show Image?
But they look a little shorter than OEM(ducky,filco, CM, etc). Isn't Cherry profile similar to OEM except shorter?
i heard topre construction is inspired BS its true?

Where can I buy blank topre keycaps sets.like this one http://i.imgur.com/L0oIOOA.jpg?1
Are GON's keyboarsd pcbmount or plate mount?
Quote from: asgeirtj on Tue, 28 October 2014, 11:59:07Are GON's keyboarsd pcbmount or plate mount?Plate mount. Most of his cases are Viky style cases which have the plate as the top of the case.

I ordered a bunch of plate mounted winkeyless stabs for my custom builds, I assumed that the plate mounted ones were what I wanted because I plan to use a plate, how to determine?
Karura, every single Korean custom uses PCB mount stabilisers. PCB mount stabilisers can be used with a plate - you just make cutouts on the plate so that they poke through. Those plate mount stabilisers will not work with GONs or pretty much any other Korean custom.

Yes. If the plate supports plate mount stabilisers you can use them. It's just that GONs plates, KMAC plates, OTD plates, etc. never do support them. So, yeah, if you get a completely custom plate you can use them.
speaking of stabs, i only recently found out about clipping Cherry stabs so they feel like Costar but still retain the ability to quick swap modifiers. is this worth the effort?
