Hmm interesting.
I dont know anything about 3d printing - how is the quality of that?

Anyone here has or had in past that CM Quickfire Rapid keyboard mounted in aluminium case?
I wonder how it sounds.
My keyboard is fine, but I HATE that rubber coating and wish Ic ould just swap it with plain plastic cover.
I don't want to go modding route and try to sand it down, paint etc

Anyone has CM Quickfire Rapid MX Black in really good shape?

I wonder if Drop was interested in this site, like GeekHack.
Too late now anyway...

Sounds like salmon are my alps.
Now, need to find a keyboard with those.

I know nothing about those keyboards, but for a long time I wanted to try alps, plus I love the look/profile of those keycaps on AEK, so wanted to try it.
Salmon sounds best for me. Or maybe any other keyboard with salmon alps?
Can those Lunar 65% still be purchased somewhere?

The keycaps are 1970s thick double shot, im assuming ABS, however the manufacturing process leaves a lot to be desired, with some keycaps being ...

So nice!
How expensive are these?

I'm fed up with tuning, lubing stabs for my keyboards. For some reason I constantly have issues with those, I followed every possible guidance for lubing stabs and keep having issues - either rattling, making weird noises, scratchy feeling on spacebars etc

I wish someone could do it properly for me ...

Its a long shot but hey...

OK, going to need help with cable modding.
Pexon, who I previously bought cable mods from, has moved on and does not do cables anymore, so will have to do it by myself.

Simply, want to mod filco cable to be short and end with USB, ideally USB-C female socket.
Do you guys know how to do it?

Looking for a Filco cable mod, in case any one has bought it in the past.

What the hell.. just bought brand new Filco on ebay for just £50.
Gonna desolder it and solder oil kings 80g :0

For desoldering on the cheap, I think that a "solder sucker" works pretty well, maybe using the braid to tidy up.

Of course, using the quality, expensive tools is always best.

What I hate is when they have bent all the legs down tight ....


Hey fohat!
Yeah, will be using solder sucker/puncher ...

There is a risk of damaging a pad while desoldering using a soldering iron and solder wick.

If you could borrow a desoldering gun, I believe that would be a safer option.


I damaged that pad once when was desoldering one keyboard - that metal ring came off, but I managed to wire it - did not ...

I always look back on all those first mech keyboards I used years ago and when I think of new keyboard, I keep thinking of getting one.
I like mx blacks and thought I could get a Filco TKL keyboard, but cannot find one with defualt mx blacks, so thought I would buy one with whatever switches ...

Percent Studio CANOE gen1, ideally that yellow top case version.

I would like to have some some nice old popular rubber dome keyboard from 90s
Don't know which one, please let me know what you have there?
