Clearing out the cupboards after a bit of an break. Will start with some modern bits and move onto what's left of the vintage stuff later. Apologies if the sales format has changed since I've been gone...coudln't see anything but I'm sure DT will let me know if I'm wrong :D :D . https://imgur.com/6O...

Strange timing, I had my V7 out today to show a friend .

I think I have a copy of the V7 layout editing software uploaded, message me and I can send a copy over if you want to try it out?

Did they ever release that 60% board they were talking about a few years ago? They took pre-orders IIRC...

Love it, nice work. Mind me asking what paper modding is?

Looks great dude, enjoy .

Price drop

I have one, PM me your address and I'll get it out to you .

Price drop

GLWS Cheers dude. Sad to see it go, but would rather it go to someone that will use it. Plus, extra quarantine-cash is always nice :). Forgot to mention and will add to OP, this is the board from our favourite reviewers HHKB review so it's famous as well as being generally awesome. https://www.yout...

Parting ways with the HHKB, the start of a big clearout hopefully. https://imgur.com/Duzo1gr.jpg Selling the above HHKB bundle. Included are the board, set of caps, control/esc coloured caps set, red cable, rev D hasu controller and a keyboard slip. I picked the board up second hand in 2012 but it h...

Whilst I'm not posting much these days I am on the forums every fews hours, happy to help out with moderating spammers if needed.

Huh...maybe I'm the edge-case that actually uses the winkey then. Was told another cool shortcut today too - win+shift+s for snippingtool :D. I use that one too, but it has not escaped notice that Micro$oft is pushing that one by improperly eliminating the preexisting Alt-PrtSc key combination. And...

Huh...maybe I'm the edge-case that actually uses the winkey then. Was told another cool shortcut today too - win+shift+s for snippingtool .

@kbdfr, cool shortcut for the menu, but it doesn't work as a modifier; I can't move windows or open explorer/run etc using it .

Capslock is left control Left control is left FN Left alt is left alt Hence the winkeyless dilema...not enough keys that side of the spacebar :). I think I had FN+left alt as Winkey at some point but was a bit fiddly...Given that the only boards I really use these days are winkey boards with program...

Real talk, don't you miss the windows key? I tried winkeyless for a while and found that I'd become so used to using it for moving windows around and launching shortcuts going without it was a much bigger deal than I thought it would be...

Also, I miss my 5k .

I've got one going spare if the auction doesn't work out, could do with the drawer space to be honest so you'd be doing me a favour!

Bit of a blast from the past scott! Nice to see it again, how's the Polish coming along?

Looks good, is the negative dye-sub a sign of things to come?

I'll be adding my Whitefox into the work board rotation soon, it's too nice to be sat in a drawer and I've too many keyboards, not enough work stations .

I have one of the Kidtracks (I think that's what they're called) you can have for the cost of postage if you want?

There are other problems with that board to be honest...I used one for about a month or so (can't remember why, masochism maybe) and the steep angle of the board, keyweight and the bloody pinging was infinitly more uncomfortable than the crappy enter key.

My favourite ugo/the most 90's keyboard ever just popped up in the US.

That comb thing is genius all by itself, great log and a great finished product.

Very nice project, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Amber alps are still on my "to try" list so this one is of particular interest to me .

Custom boards don't have to break the bank, my favourite came from a £20 Focus board and a £15 junker M0118 I nabbed on ebay.

There was a cracking converstion project a few years back if you're feeling up to something a little more in depth, see below link.

Regarding an ISO HHKB... I couldn't get on with the HHKB for a few reasons, mostly around the blank corners and the left shift and missing ISO key so my concession which I've been using for a few years now and really like is the one below. All the fun of the right side of the HHKB with the added fun...

Very cool find. I wonder if the blockers are like those on the G80-5000 where they are plastic-riveted in place on the back of the PCB? Also, re the DB9 converter, if this keyboard was designed for a specific application a conversion may be a bit tricky. The good news is I'm fairly certain there are...

"Just"

Lovely board, I miss my 5000 already and it's only been gone a few weeks.

Nice one, worth the 4 year wait!

Converted 3277 for lots of money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/66-key-IBM-3277-Beamspring-Keyboard/254034238722?hash=item3b259edd02:g:v1oAAOSwmfhcHFBG Even for a space-saving keyboard, that's a lot of money. Is that a realistic market price now? Oo I guess we'll find out if it sells...Hell of a lot of ...

Holding middle-click and then pressing the right mouse button adjusts the DPI on the later models, not sure if that would work on this one as well? I have a Kit TRAC too, but don't remember if that works or not...
