A friend of mine has the 2021/2022 TKL version with the smaller OLED screen and I can confirm that the switches are very smooth and actually nice to type on. The LED backlighting can be turned off. Also the typing sound isn't high pitched and more like a "tock" sound. For someone who's in the market...

I'm using an Audinst HUD-MX2 since a few years on Linux and Windows. One of the main reasons I've bought it is that it's easy to switch between head phones and speakers and it has an optical input as well. Finding sth. with comparable features was pretty hard a few years ago. EDIT: sorry I've should...

... but it keeps a separation between each cluster. Valid point, might be a problem for some people. In the new Cherry keebs , you'll be forever risking the starting up a http://www.cherry.com/stupid-propaganda/ browser window when you meant to cancel whatever current action or calling a program's ...

[...] Yes, but that key's placement is surprisingly idiotic. Even Logitech does it better: I disagree, with the placement like this there's just an additional key available while the whole FN row stays the same. The way Logitech did it shifted the whole FN row to the left. I quite like it, PCB moun...

[...] A switch described as "snap action" which I don't really understand how it works: https://patents.google.com/patent/EP0075088B1/en https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/fe/ab/65/29d026aa82cf75/imgf0001.png [...] Interesting! I've read a little bit in the patent and the switch and the wh...

Donated as well. A big thank you to the admins and moderators which put in their spare time to keep the site running (and ad-free).

Although you've already found a nice deskpad I'd like add another recommendation: https://en.sharkoon.com/product/GaMa1337#spec4 Available in different sizes, I'm using the XXL one for more than two years now and can't complain. The logo isn't that big and can be covered with the keyboard if it's pu...

Owning both a CST trackball and a Kensington Slimblade I'm only using the Slimblade since several years now. The distinct feature what I like about the Slimblade compare to the CST is that its flatter and that it has four buttons which are separated from the movement and/or scrolling mechanism. The ...

Definitely a nice find.

Congratulations to all the winners. And a big thanks towards Matteo. This forum is such a nice place as people like you invest their spare time to make things like the Deskthority Awards happen.

Another hobby of mine from the past :-). I still have my measuring microphone and 3 Clarion amps laying around and a lot of cables, cable lugs and tools to handle the thick cables. My former trunk battery is only used to jumpstart other cars/bikes and as 12V power supply for various things. Is this ...

Interesting concept I've never seen before, I'm going to follow this
Can you elaborate a little bit how this is done technically? Are there new machines needed or can this be done with the usual machines?

Replacing the switches by yourself usually doesn't pay out. I'd recommend selling the boards as-is. Everyone likes to buy projects for themselves in order to have sth. for tinkering around with.

Thanks for your review. Classic example of setting the wrong priorities during product development in my opinion. What I like is the backup contact inside the switch. Would be interesting if they remove it in the future to save some money like they apparently did with the LED lens.

Nice photos. Those slashed zeros are nice!

I'd suggest the G80-3000 page. And additionally a sentence on the G81 page linking/referencing to the paragraph on the G80-3000 page.

I wasn't able to reproduce this on my G80-3000 neither. I'm using a USB to PS2 converter though.
Once I attach it via USB the problem is reproducible. My G80-3000 has a date code of 39Y (2012).

Hi, I got the board today and trying it out right now. :-) First impressions: - Using my thumbs for anything other then space feels really awkward - As I almost exclusively use my left thumb to press the space bar I'm constantly pressing backspace :D - As a altgr-intl layout user I'm currently conte...

The first skidatas were posted for ~40€ by him

Received my refund as well. Again: thanks for unwinding this properly. And I wish you the best for your personal situation.

I'd like to try your Ergodox as well. I'm located in Germany.

Nice, this looks promising I've just grew some sun flowers in my kitchen and put them outside into the garden a few days ago.
Does the lettuce grown with this method taste differently compared to traditionally produced ones in soil?

What a pity I was really looking forward to this.
However a big thumbs up to not just be awol or not responding anymore and just unwinding this properly.

Nice Pi key . I think I have a keyboard with the same case switches, but different layout:

Is the PCB of this keyboard manufactured by Costar? I'm asking because you wrote that it's a cheaper Filco.

Maybe you can import the Lets encrypt certificate manually?

Nice work I once bookmarked this here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/keyboard-stm32/ as I have a STM32 dev board laying around. Maybe this is interesting for you.

Got my set today, thank you for your effort in organizing this!

Beautiful. I wonder if the number block was used to switch between different tiling layouts.
