Re: [LF] A plea to GH for all the BS Clacks

As many of you know my BS Clack luck is bad to say the least. Perhaps the worst on the entirety of Geekhack, unless one of you can challenge my standing record of despair.


I have no BS clack whatsoever :'( I feel your pain, moose. Hope you get the salute, at least!

Forget that, after reading the whole thing, seems like not possible for technical reasons (spring goes inside the keycap, where the stem is)
Might be a stupid idea, but at this point, why don't you 3d print a BS stem that would be MX compatible like those topre ones incomming?


Seems to be another person with the same idea on [size=78%]http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/idea-3d-printing-of-ibm-buckling-spring-steam-for-mx-caps-t6557.html[/size]
[/s] for almost similar reasons.


Then you would only need to hunt MX clacks and save lot of money (somewhat). ;)


Maybe down in your heart it would be a violation of you love for BS, but if not I think it would be a nice solution to you problem. And useful anyway for everyone wanting to use mx keycaps on bs boards since they are much more available.
