As for Cherry switches I'm split between MX Red and MX Brown. Actually I'd probably prefer a switch that's half way between MX Red and MX Black.

I've wanted a switch like that for a while too. I prefer Blacks to Reds, but Blacks are just a hair too heavy and Reds are way too light.

So what you want is a vintage black switch with 62g springs. Have that on my KMAC2, it's nice.

One of the KMAC's I hand built and programmed or one of my phantoms, though I would have to get it some sort of alu case.

KMAC Mini with Clears (Greys on Modifiers), Costar Stabs, O-rings, Thick PBT Keys

Maybe one day when I win the lottery...

Costar on a KMAC?

esoomenona · « **Reply #55 on:** Wed, 15 May 2013, 13:47:15 »

Custom KMAC plate GB, go.

We'll see... my 2TU should be a thing of legend.

Grim Fandango · « **Reply #57 on:** Wed, 15 May 2013, 17:20:43 »

Cherry MX browns
Regular OEM PBT keycaps
Costar Stabilizers

Case would be based on aesthetic preference. Some of those Korean boards that people keep posting look amazing, but I do not know what the quality is like.

Yep. I've come to prefer the AEK over the Model M.

Heh. I am still not sure what I'd stick myself with.

I swear by the Model M, but the salmon ALPS in the AEKI still have a special place in my heart.

I love the look and build of the Model M, but the high actuation force has turned me off to using it on a regular basis.

For the rest of my life? It'd better be rock solid and easy to fix. That means no Topre.

Rule16 · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 16 May 2013, 12:24:13 »

From the keyboards that I have now, it would be the Topre 55gram... but I don't really have that many right now so its hard to tell.

That's a very strong point. Based on those factors I might have to go with the ErgoDox

I'm still going with IBM Model M with custom keycaps to add color and replace the useless PrtSc/ScrLock/Pause with Mute/VolDn/VolUp.

However, I may end up wanting a GH75 with Green Switches for most; tactile Gray for spacebar, and Browns for selected mods I hit lightly with my pinkie. And outboard of that a matching numpad (no arrows), probably Browns with a Green enter key and the plus split into a plus and an equals. USB pass-through on one device, and Cherry-profile PBT keycaps on all keys.

Do I need to specify the Fn layer of the GH75, or is the above to a "T" enough?

This Model M.

Which color of these from unicomp would match the model m? Pebble or gray?

fohat.digs · « **Reply #72 on:** Thu, 16 May 2013, 14:52:45 »

Standard Model M colors are "pearl" and "pebble" in Unicomp lingo.

Those look like pearl, but they would need to be side-by-side to really know.
