I read somewhere Matias only did that for a few batches of the quiet linears.
Hmm, so what your saying is there is a chance that if I buy a bag of QLs there's a chance they might be heavy enough for me to like them?
So I managed to net myself a 5140 for a pretty great price, practically new too; SKCM Browns are really interesting, these certainly have a thockiness to them. )
Nice find! I am currently in the process of trying to find a good deal on one as well.
Anyway, I have two questions for you guys:
1) I recently bought this
ALPS Wyse Keyboard to harvest it for keycaps and switches. It is definitely a Wyse-compatible board since it has the same connector as the board I harvested vintage blacks from; however, it is not externally branded as a Wyse board. I have yet to open it up, but I am sure I will find that the PCB is labelled as a 'Wyse' since, holy cow, the keycaps on this board are pretty thick and double-shot (just like SP's for the other Wyse boards). Do you guys know anything about who made these keycaps? I can post pictures when I get back home later (if that would help).
2) Is click-modding greens any smoother than click-modding oranges? In an
old thread, click-modding oranges was recommended over greens but I have to wonder because the greens I opened up on this board have dried lube on their sliders. My tinkering suggests that using the top case from a Salmon switch, click plate from a White and a spring, switch plate and base from a Green yields a pretty smooth switch, albeit a pingy one with a noticeable amount of hysteresis.
