Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the complementary $30 import fees, lol.

I managed to try a few of the silencing rings recently and it makes quite a difference with barely any effect on key travel. That being said, it is still expensive to ship these to Hong Kong but at least I do not have to ...

The mouse in the video is my ideal daily driver. :lol:

The vintage feels.

I've tried plenty of mice including vintage ones but I keep coming back to my Steelseries Sensei. My number two is a Deathadder wich I like almost as much as the Sensei. I've been planing to get a Kensington trackball ...

I vote for neutral colours.
Bare aluminum would be especially interesting to me as well!

Like I said before, big fan of the adjustable scroll wheels in Logitech mice.
Also appreciate the larger ergonomic size because I have big hands.
Went from MX Revolution to G700; had a Revolution the first year they were available (over 10 years ago?).
Both these mice are now retired due to battery ...

Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately but I snoozed and none left for sale now haha.
Guess I will have to keep waiting.

I actually just bought that exact board from the listing the other day :lol: It should arrive sometime next week.

Yeah, I am just not sure because the switch looks like a more vibrant blue compared to regular ALPS blue which has a bit more grey in the blue.

I am still thinking about your offer ...

Any idea what keyboard this is?
I think it says "Northgate Computer Systems" on the top left but could not figure out the model.
Pretty sure it has blue ALPS but not sure if it is genuine or knockoffs ALPS.

Thanks for the offer!
I might take you up on your offer.

Decisions decisions...

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, much appreciated.
Yellow ALPS sounds like a viable alternative for me over greens.
Although, I am still doubtful how much smoother they can get over lubed vintage blacks and gateron yellows which I use on a daily basis.

Question for you ALPS experts.

I am planning on building an ALPS64 soon with linears and HHKB layout but have had no luck with finding green ALPS.
However, I have found Zeniths with yellow ALPS.

Will I be satisfied with yellows? Or maybe Matias linears instead of greens?

Just thought I would ask here, anyone have a two spare 2.25u Row 3/4 keys and a 7u spacebar?
Prefer black blank, but other colors are ok as well.

Skimmed through the thread.
Seems there is a replacement for my HHKB BT in the works, very excited!
Always wished the battery life was longer.

Sort of wishing this was a split 60% with BT, but that is my dream.

60% or bust for me, 75% is pushing it.
I have my Slimblade on the left and mouse on the right.
Hong Kong rent is crazy, I can only afford a tiny studio which results in space for a tiny desk.
Tenkeyless already eats up too much real estate.

Yeah I have no experience with Gateron switches or keycaps.
I've only ever used OG Cherry and recently just purchased my first GMK set.
Really hope yours is an isolated case.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, I have never seen something like this happen.
Should I be worried if I am joining the Enjoypbt groupbuy?
However, I have not paid yet haha.

Right handed, right thumb when typing.
But sometimes the left thumb presses the spacebar due to muscle memory from too much Autocad/3D modelling software.

Oh wow Muirium, the best keyboard of the world! Perfect picture and great color splash too, I always think I would like it for a day or two, and than go back to my boring beige setup...

I always go back to boring beige too :)

Yeah, GMK's TA and CYMW have this uncharacteristical bleed...one ...

Great looking board you have there, man! Vintage blacks are my favorite mx switch atm, I've lubed some for the sake of science and they feel even more awesome...just so smooth on the downstroke, way better than lubed gateron blacks. TA looks like a dream with that viper case, just a proper cable ...

@lootbag: Nice Viper! How do you like the Logitech mouse?

Bought it on a whim because my G700 died after 5 years and it has the dual mode scroll wheel which I like.
The "G-Shift" button is pretty cool to get more utility out of all the mouse buttons (except the left and right click, it does not ...

My daily keyboards are constantly changing.

HHKB has been relegated to studio use, too lazy to bring it back and forth.
Was recently using the 55g 87u at home but it has been shelved for this:

*The plus being the fun part…

Thank god Hong Kong customs does not charge any duties/taxes.
Shipping is already expensive enough.

Would also like to see some more positive concrete updates on the Paypal issue before submitting my purchase.
A lot of money to be tied for a long time.
I have sent an email to the specified Paypal address in support of your project Ellipse!
Hopefully it is of some help.

Anyone in Hong Kong (or China) want to split shipping?
Holy cow... this is going to be expensive but also once in a lifetime.

In the past 5-6 years, I've been through many many cherry mx boards, topre boards, a couple Model M's, etc. and now I just use this everyday... (actually its the only complete kb I own, my phantom is just shelved)

I think it's more the layout I enjoy, rather than ...

To be honest, I think you're going to have a hard time selling a board with such an odd layout! I love the case though, how did you get that done? Is it just lasercut acrylic?

Yeah, I figured it would be a hard sell, it was one of those experimental things.
Case is lasercut acrylic, I am still ...

How much is this complete Phantom worth?

If I had the CAD files... I could cut cases for very cheap.
I am not charged for material cost and I only pay $20/hour on the laser.

Woohoo SPH/TERMINAL went down $9.
I will stay hopefully and believe that it can drop below $100.

I just want to sell my stuff...
Not even the slightest bit of me wants a clickclack key -___-;;

Thanks 7bit.
Now to decide if I can swallow the price tag for the set to put on a keyboard that I will most likely not use too often.
I already cleared my CHERRYWHITE & CHERRYBLACK order because it is way too expensive.

Oh and I forgot to mention, awesome looking G80-2551HAD Gilgam.
Mine is stuck ...
