Yeah, it just looks like a generic scissor-switch. Since there's not much innovation to be had with them, most look the same.

Also, to add complication, IBM (and later Lenovo) never made a definitive ThinkPad keyboard internally and instead relied on multiple OEMs at the same time to produce them ...

I think it better to post my project here lol
I had recently started to retrofiting a Matias Tactile Pro PCB into my old Dell Quietkey which had a crappy Silitek Dome. because my Matias Housing are in beyond horrible condition and alot of crack! and it's just look ugly! Dell Quietkey build quality ...

Does everybody know what Switches is my 2002 Toshiba Satelite 5205-S703 was? I think it might be a same brand that made a keyboard for IBM Thinkpad but I have no clue.

No worry, those are not NMB made Dell Quietkey. I am replacing a rubberdome with a mechanical switches

Hello Guy, I am not here for long time
Zedtheman: Sorry It take so long to make a Cherry G84 Keyboard, I had a family trouble like 10 days later when I recieved your keyboard. But now I'm Back and I will finish the Cherry G84 Keyboard Review!

Most keyboard now a day often suffer a quality issue from China.

What Modern Mechanical Keyboard have In common?

- Hideous Gamer Font
- Cherry MX Design Switch
- RGB
- ABS Keycap
- Aluminum everywhere on some ...

Most keyboard now a day often suffer a quality issue from China.

- Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum - have a great Omron Romer G Switches but they are not as good as their older Omron B3GS switches and it can be crack easily too.

- Razer Blackwidow Ultimate - use Greetech switch rebranded as Razer ...

My Cherry G84 that I got from, Zedtheman have some issue, My friend tries to pull the keycap out to see the switches and the switches it self came apart and now I cannot put it back and then I lose the spring as well. I hoped I can find the spring somewhere in my house and fix it.

The ML Swiitches ...

- I'm going to be review the keyboard with my new "Kibodo* Score System" which rate 1 to 10 in each section such as:
- Construction quality (If construction quality is about an IBM Model M it will be a 10!)
- Switches and feel (anything above Alps design would be 10! so Buckling Spring would ...

Thanks man, I want to review a Cherry Product for a long time now!

Heh

Sometime in the future we should count the number of dead Ms and the number of dead G80s, gee, I wonder who would win :roll:

Ha ha, With bolt mod on Model M, It can last forever! :D


Ha ha, without anything done to G80, they can live forever! :D


I don't know about that, I had ...

Cherry G80 have the PCB Mount which mean they are not going to be durable compare to Plate Mount

Heh

And Cherry is 11/10 cause you don't have to repair them after 30 years due to missing rivets or bad foam?


LoL remember, Cherry G80 have the PCB Mount which mean they are not going to be durable compare to Plate Mount and they don't use screw but rather a clip. also Construction quality is all ...

I love making friends ...

Feel like I've seen this somewhere here before


If the review are really similar to Chyrosran22, Then I guess I can at least give a viewer a Second Opinion like how you have to do experiment in the science with more than one trial. Thomas's video is why I am starting to collecting a vintage ...

I going to give you guy an update to what i'm going to do next for my Youtube!

- I'm going to tries a Cherry G84(Thank you ZedtheMan for the G84!) for at least 3 days to get used to the feel

- The review started with intro of course and then go through the history of the keyboard and the switches ...

I'm totally in to NMB Space Invader!

Thinness is one of the most important factors of laptops. Boomers will disagree and use their heavy chunky laptops on their legs. But I feel like whatever makes a laptop thinner is the right step to go to. I don't enjoy chic keys but if the laptop is light and thin then I don't care about missing ...

Sadly, all modern laptops seem to be complete trash. All they care about is copying Apple, caring more about "thin and light" then actual build quality, and slapping massive, flimsy widescreens on everything that flex like crazy and are a portability nightmare.


The Chiclet keyboard started with ...

Update: 27 Feb
Several people have expressed disappointment that the keyboard is no longer cursed. I can re-curse the keyboard upon request. I will leave this up to the winner. If you win, just let me know, "I would / would not like the keyboard cursed".



Man, When did the mechanical switch ...

Look at this for example

2005 Laptop with NMB Keyboard look like this!

I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 and man does it feel like a good dome with a slider! I tried it with my dad's new Lenovo Ideapad and It a massive difference!

snacksthecat wrote: 27 Feb 2019, 03:20 Just a heads up, the keyboard/switches feel fine. No clue what original buyer was talking about. Maybe his fingers are rattled from using Nexus sliders.

I think this guy(the buyer) use too much Cherry MX and Rubberdome lol

I love those layout of 122 key! I PM'd you! I can restore those NMB Space Invader to work and feel like new !

I guess I'm just going to wait for a Great Deal on a Deskthority Here!

What a shitty system. Early bids are usually to be sneered at, but in this case it might have helped the seller’s confidence.

Agreed.

Sup wrote: 20 Feb 2019, 17:26 Can't you just replace the switches in a mouse though to the ones you like?

I wish that possible but I heard that a Chinese Omron and Japanese Omron have the different fixed pin. Logitech Mice could be possible but I'm not sure about the other brand.
