Nice!
That switch's stem looks a bit funny! What is it?

HzFaq · 17 Mar 2015, 22:34

Oh cool, the WASD and arrows are Alps mount right? Whats the switch, old school clicky white or even older school linear white?

Gratz/good luck with the exams too btw.

Fairly certain they're MX from when I had it. I remember there being a sticker on the box saying that anyways.

Ascaii · 18 Mar 2015, 08:24

Right, i completely forgot something else I took out, lol. New picture!

The rubber caps are MX, I want to try them on my infinity. I am not as happy with the infinity as I expected, so I am considering turning it into a glorified gamepad, but I might still just sell it, no idea yet. But the rubber caps definitely feel interesting. I would not go for a full board of them, but a MOBA kit would be kinda cool.

I am packing up two Model M boards I need to ship to france right now, once they are ready I am off to the post office to send them and the surprise box on their way.

Very interesting that Punisher cap

I'm so curious what is in that box

Nice, don't remember seeing one of these before.

The box travels! Next stop, Romania!

The box weighs in at exactly 5kg.

gogusrl · 18 Mar 2015, 12:40

I won't be able to physically help you with the re-publica project, since the distance is just too big, but I ( we ) could forge some kind of video where everything is being explained and condensed for visitors of the event. We would then only need a presentation computer with display and some examples of the projects we did.

Also , if this is able to start, you might want to open a dedicated thread. First line of attack would be to develop a script upon which the video would be based. So what projects, sinklists, etc would we want to showcase and how would we best do that?

I've put a lot of stuff in there more that I took out

Some thing are stuff harder to find in Europe. Hope the next ones will enjoy it like I did. It will take me a couple of days to ship it to gogusrl , after he is done with the box I will ship it to the next in line.
This was a great experience

I wished I took more out

DanielT · 25 Mar 2015, 08:33

The package is ready to be shipped to gogusrl, I'm waiting for the courier. Gogusrl will send it back to me and I will take care to ship it to the next one in line. I guess this will happen next week

There is a lot of interesting stuff in there

HzFaq · 25 Mar 2015, 09:33

One step closer, getting excited to see whats in there now

The box is back with me. I have labeled it and first thing tomorrow morning I will go to the Post Office. I estimate that in aprox. 7 days it will reach Nuum

DanielT · 31 Mar 2015, 10:39

Just a small update, I will be able to ship the box only tomorrow, I'm down with the flu today and don't see myself bringing the box to the Post Office. Really sorry for the delay, I know everybody wants to get the box as soon as possible

Chyros · 31 Mar 2015, 13:39
