I've been typing on nothing but Devlin Q-Series for months, I'm really craving more flat keysets.

Love the color of it! What case is that?

Man, I do like that there's a 60% version now, but that bottom row is gonna be a tough sell.
Changing the ALT modifier to a 1 unit size key makes it unfeasible for gaming.

I cannot say why, as I am unfortunately no longer very interested in keyboard science due to a lack of time.
But I can say that I compared the sound of my silent red space bar with and without the clip and found the sound more pleasant with the clip.

[...]the only "issue" on mx boards is the sound of the space bar and other stabilized keys but with some modification those keys are very silent too.

See the little translucent plastic bit under the space bar? That's a QMX Clip, designed to make PCB-mounted switches silent. It's far less amazing ...

It's intentionally broken.
If you consider this broken, consider the shape of the human thumb broken.

(or, has others have already realized, regular keyboard design does not follow human ergonomics)

For now I'll use the board to test 60% layouts so that I'm prepared for the case by Plastikschnittstelle. In future this board may purpose as a travel board. The silent blacks are really smooth and they are even more silent than expected, a perfect board for open workspaces.

I've used nothing ...

I've only done screw mods but I know that idollar also recommends screwmodding over boltmodding.
I'd say screwmod is perfectly fine unless you need to open the assembly many times*. Then, the threads in the barrel plate may wear out.

*Which, incidentally, is something you might do a few times if ...

Here are the screws I used for at least 3-5 screw mods on Model Ms and SSKs.

--> this is what we got here in Germany but YMMV as to what measurements make sense if you're in the US.

No thread for the wired only ones as far as I can tell, but I have a brand new black wired Nano 75 available in the marketplace.

This is the thread for the wired version of this keyboard ...

Well, typing experience really comes down to your preference. The Anne Pro has the benefit of being lighter but the Nano75 isn't just heavier but feels quite substantial, and high quality. Anne Pro comes with a thin plastic case which cannot be changed as the holes do not match other 60% cases.

Romer-G might be an okay switch, but on all variations I've tried it was always terribly implemented. Wobbly and cheap plates or even no plates at all seem to be Logitech's thing. Don't believe the hype, they build good mice but not good keyboards in my opinion.

The keywalker, while it has an OK ...

It looks terrific. I just wish more flat cases existed. They are hard to find.

Hi, and welcome!
I started my mechanical journey on the same exact keyboard about six years ago, so I think you're off to a good start!

After trying tons of switches I have come full circle, and have been enjoying linear switches again recently.

So, I ended up almost with the same switch that I ...

yep, makes sense to me.

Anyway, if anyone wants to give it a try with their SSK, just drop me a message.

Just to be clear: if the device will not work in your particular setting or if you're not satisfied, you can always return it and I will give you a full refund on PayPal (that should be the ...

I am on your side, davkol, but Elrick will bring up the (valid!) counter-argument that computers nowadays have way more functions than that old typewriter did.

Either way, offtopicthority is strong today

Oh, right, missed the 60% bit.
I could also do without the function row but as long as the width of the keyboard stays like it is I'm happy

While I disagree with you on almost all points, discussing the benefits and drawbacks of different keyboard form factors was not at all what I intended with this thread

Honestly, not that dumb I think.
Certainly not as much of a failure as the 6.0 (IMO)

Yes, I'll never use full-size again, but for their recent history I ...

Will there ever be a non-RGB, 45g, Bluetooth-capable 60% version? Preferably in white?

I have a non-RGB, 45G, White Nano75 here. No bluetooth, though, and it would make no sense at all to ship it across the pond.

By the way, RGB is not a big deal when you can just turn it off. I turn it off ...

Crap, I missed this due to holidays (and having to catch up at work afterwards )...
I'd be interested in any leftovers.

It's not any more popular than before, but all the sets arrived in the last weeks so everyone is posting theirs.

Lovely board, friend.

How did the sound change compared to the Q-Series keycaps? I'm considering getting a set just for the sound.

Did you eat anything else yesterday?

Eating only apples is not recommended:

Really lovely, zslane!

May I present to you, Dolch'd Plum Nano:

Proudly rocking the 35g weighted domes here, which feels exactly like I've hoped for and quite honestly offers tangible tactility unless you have really thick fingers

I have no comparison between screw vs. bolt mod, as I am only experienced with screw-modding.

In terms of the correct screws, here's what I've been using, with success.
These were a recommendation from idollar, who knows what he's doing.

Hooray! I hope I helped here, at least a little bit.
Definitely, you gave good advice and I'm using Kapton now.

So, how did this go? Both good and bad, in the end.

Kapton tape works well. It's really thin, though not the easiest to apply. After applying the Kapton, making sure to go around the ...

I have a bag of caps from this keyboard, german ISO, yellowed and quite worn. If you're interested...?

Well yeah it looks yellowed, he painted it...

I ordered a 35g Nano 75 a month ago but nothing arrived so far... I just contacted the seller, am a bit disappointed.
