Oktoberfest MX on eBay, currently $190
« on: Sun, 06 December 2015, 20:06:50 »
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

one time at work when I was bored, I took a spring from my bic pen and put it into a MX black switch. disgustingly stiff. probably equivalent to like 200g of force.

I should note that the resulting snapback force from when you release the key can sometimes be enough to launch the keycap surprisingly far into the air. an easy fix is obviously to superglue the cap to the stem.

Yes, so it now seems.

In my defence I state that I created this thread nearly 5 hours before the other thread was created.

Am I missing something? Like, $200 for a single key button? This is either a gag or some kind of strange key-fetish hysteria, right?

How many of these were made? I'd be interested in seeing the signature on the underside of the cap; I know, how boring of me.

A few, it's not the rarest clack

The makers mark (FXE) is visible in one of the photos, place on the underside of the cap
