From what I've been reading on GH the guy is up to pulling the keycaps himself and selling them for 12.5$ a set. The problem is that the whole bottom row is unusable (off-center stems)and the capslock ofcourse.

Mitel one looks like it has foam and foil switches? At least it looks similar on the picture were it has a missing cap in the top left.

Wow, first Mitel is already gone. Who bought it?

Smart. What switches does it have?

I'm not sure. Looks like these guys, based on the photos and wiki article:

Might be different, though!

Cool. Well, if you're doing anything in Poland again…
Which reminds me: we should swap our Mr. Interface adapters like the boss said.

I've got friends in Poland who I can ask to proxy, if you want. Bear in mind, though, that it's about 40 GBP + shipping from Poland, which would probably be less than 20 euro. Let me know!

Well, the photos come from here:

Whose page is that, niubio's? The translation implies complicated Alps, which is a first for a K108.

That last one sure is chunky! It's also semi-mechanical at best, by the look of it, with Alps mount caps on non-discrete switches. Could well be domes I guess:
The spacebar's a fair bit shiny for PBT, though that does sometimes happen.
The NMB, meanwhile, has a nice split spacebar. Seeing Windows keys isn't a reassuring sign for the quality of the caps, though:

From the look of that esc key those alps caps are pad printed.

I found this totally by chance, it ends in just under 2½ hours. If it doesn't get any bids I will put in a late one myself so that someone (else!) here could see about putting it to use!
I've asked if the scale is in cN/g-f or something else.

Did anyone around here get this one? I'd really like to see it in action.

Mmhh, I think I have a pressure gauge almost like this at home, I should check if it can work for keys!

Mmmmhhh, nice one.
Any idea of that keyboard date?
Posted: 12 Dec 2014, 15:05

The notorious beamspring desk!
I think I remember Xwhatsit (New Zealand) and Mr_A500 (Canada) want it, in an ideal world where shipping was feasible. Might be mistaken though. That's a keyboard you really need room for!

i want it but the shipping would just be insane so i cannot

That's a tempting price for that desk but I just got my beamspring dosage.

Well, it would look good in my new office....Not sure what the Mrs reaction would be though, probably not all that positive.

Only needs a paint job so it matches the colour theme. Talking your office, obviously.

Ive got a company that would pick it up and deliver it to me for just around 85€. Tempting. If any germans are interested, I am glad to point you in the direction of the shipping company.
