Would these work too?

Oh my god. They are perfect. Thank you.

I see. I will take a look at other sets. Thanks.

I'm looking to make my first custom board, but I'm afraid I'll miss something and find myself with incompatible parts.
I'd like to put together this combo:

Case: GMMK
Switches: Purple Zealios V2 62g
Keycaps: Kalih Low Profile Keycaps

Guys what about Aliaz switches?
They are a lubricated variant of Gateron Silent Brown, which is a silenced clone of Cherry MX Brown. Very low tactility, and the tactile bump is in the middle, which you might want to avoid if you are going to reduce key travel.

I see.

Well I am officially more ...

Guys what about Aliaz switches?

Are they any good?

Nope this is the actual price for 110 switches:

Well well, lucky me I guess, look at this

Hey guys,

I'm looking to build a custom keyboard or to get an existing one, based on a few of the parameters.

As far as the switches go:
- Short Key Travel
- Light to Medium actuaction force
- High tactility
- Silent or Deep/Bassy sounding or simply put nothing that is high pitched

As far as the ...

I found one, and yep, I can confirm, they are a perfect fit. Now I just need everything else...
Off to the converter hunting!

Back in the day an S-Video cable made a convenient substitute for an ADB cable. Same pinout and connection.

An S-Video cable? Ha! I knew I would need one, once in my lifetime! Now I'll just have to dig through all the old boxes to find one... I know I have it... Somewhere... :D

You can try to ...

Hey guys,

I've bought an Apple Adjustable Keyboard (with ALPS SKFS switches) in a mint condition at a local flea market for 2$.
An awesome find yes... but it came without the apple's ADB cable. Now I've tried to find the appropriate one, but I don't know what exactly do I need?

Also is there some ...

If you mean the lower price for the AT and the higher price for the 107, then that is probably about right.

I see.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I've found a guy who is dealing with vintage keyboards, and contacted him.
We've spoken about Model F keyboards, and I've told him I'm looking for a Model F AT or more preferably a 4704 107.
He told me he could find them, and that he usually sells them for ~150-350€ depending on their ...

this one looks nice and is pretty reasonably priced.

Indeed. The best part is I can actually find it in local stores :D

Beats me... Might as well use that money to get myself a Model F that I've been dreaming of so much for so long.
I will try and not spend more than 20$ on a scissor switch keyboard

I've heard good things about those low-profile Logitech boards with the round buttons. I don't know their model name. Not a fan of low-travel boards boards myself, so I'm not an expert myself :) .

Ah the K780.. well they are 80$, or 120$ where I live... They are a bit out of reach at the moment ...

Meh... It has too many colors for me :D

The Cougar Vantar is about $33(ish) in USD. It is very low profile and isn't the monstrous price of a BFKB113PBK (which is near $100 USD).

If you want something a bit more durable than the C.V. at the cost of the keyboard's keys ...

Hi people.

I really like the feeling of typing on my Dell Latitude E5430, and like most laptops today I found out it has Scissor Switches.
I like that they are super short travel, stable and require light force to actuate.

I would like to buy a full 104 low profile keyboard with Scissor Switches ...

*bump* *bump* What's up guys?

@lot_wizard Could you drop a VERY ROUGH estimation date on Phase 2?
You don't have to be accurate, we won't take your word for it, I am just curious to when we could expect it to happen.

Just dropping by.. What stage is this currently in?

I love the idea of this project. This is the best thing ever. Will we ever see something like this (phase 2) being available for buying?
