Ah, a rant about laptop keyboards. Nice!

For me the most infuriating laptop keyboards are the ones which include a number pad:

While a number pad is quite handy if ones has to do a lot of work in a spreadsheet application ...

I've come to the conclusion a long time ago that Unicomp is just trolling us long term. Every year somebody will write them an e-mail asking about the chances of them making a SSK version. And every time they'll reply with some vague promises. The community then gets all excited about that und the ...

My favourite part about this is having to replace \ with / when using windows paths in Java coding ...
Rich source of stupid errors ...

Is there a good reason not to use the built-in abstraction for this problem?
I'm not a Java developer but is use it in Node.js all the time.

My uneducated guess would be a Filco in the Vortex aluminum case. But maybe someone with more knowledge of keyboards and a sharper eye can tell you more.

I would like to have one too if it is not outrageously expansive.

Since some people like the old Peacock case, a Peacock for 3€ might not be a bad deal. The keycaps might be interesting too.

A Chicony KB-5582 (Wiki) with Cherry MX Blues and a non-existent description.

Anybody looking for a Fujitsu-made AT&T branded JIS board? It is quite likely not mechanical but probably has rubber domes.

Box with 18 keyboards for 5€. The top one looks like a nice IBM Model M (QWERTZ layout, though).

A Focus FK-2002 for 5€.

As you said, all aspects are important. But I miss the backspace placement the most when I switch to a regular ANSI board.

Cherry M9. Took all of ten minutes - intermittent breaks included - to find this on the wiki, just flipping through the Cherry switches category page 'till I found a match. From a quick Google search for "Cherry M9" and an r/mk thread, the stems are too big to work with modern Cherry MX caps ...

Yeah they don't necessarily look Cherry compatible miss Spears.
Yeah, I'm sorry. It is too early in the morning here. But they seem to be some Cherry switch model, if you take a look at one the photos, one can read a faint "Cherry":

Thise are not cherry MX switches

I did not take a closer look. You're right. Some older cherry switches then?

How about 800 Cherry M9 Switches* for a mere 10€?

Corsair Vengeance K95 for 15€. Could be an inexpensive way to harvest a lot of MX Reds.

Yes, it is still on sale for mere ￥ 53,537 (about 410 € at the current exchange rate).

Hallo Fritz,

ich verstehe, Du suchst einen Satz Ducky Mini-Tastenkappen in ISO-DE und nicht allgemein ein deutsches Set. Das habe ich oben missverstanden. Aus meiner Sicht ist die Beschriftung der Sekundärfunktions-Ebene (Drucken, ESC, Einfügen etc) aber auch gar nicht wichtig. Ich besitze eine ...

Hallo Fruitz,

prinzipiell gibt es deutsche Tastenkappen z.B. bei CaseKing . Aber und das ist ein relatives großes Aber: Du wirst damit eine Tastatur im ANSI-Layout nie komplett in eine mit ISO-Layout umwandeln können. Vielleicht hast Du das ja auch gar nicht vor. Falls doch, wirf noch mal einen ...

I click in the hope of pics, but all I see is butt ugly avatars.

Um, keep us appraised! kbdcraft's case in this thread will be hard to match. It's a fantastic style that I too would really like to make worthwhile by putting something better than MX inside.

Yeah, I know, GeekHack is not exactly ...

There are people working on this as well.

Is G81-8016 considered mechanical? I'm more interested if the key caps are dye subs but I don't know enough to be sure. He has 10 of these so it's unlikely that it's mechanical at that price.

Yes, they are mechanical, but have MY ...

Das sind wirklich mal gute Nachrichten. Da würde ich mir glatt auch noch ein oder zwei Sätze kaufen. Sehr schön! Genau diese beiden Farbenkombinationen sind bei mir ziemlich weit oben in der Bestenliste. Hoffen wir, dass das Wirklichkeit wird.

My five cents: I have the ISO-DE set on my Ducky Mini and I really like them. My set suffers from no flaws and seems very well made.

One thing to watch out for is the stabilizers are glued in so you can only use these on boards with Costar stabs.

While it is true that they come with glued-in ...

Moley, I can total relate to your search for a nice and heavy keyboard. My humble Ducky Mini Ⅰ is even heavier:



Sorry for the potato picture btw.

Ich kann mittlerweile berichten, dass das Entfernen der Stabilisator-Clips mit einer guten Zange völlig problemlos ist. Lediglich ein wenig zäher Klebstoff verbleibt im "Stem". Ansonsten machen die Double Shots einen ganz brauchbaren Eindruck. Vielleicht kriege ich es hin ein paar Bilder von meiner ...

Prinzipiell sollten die passen, allerdings sind die Clips für die Costar-Stabilisatoren eingeklebt! Wenn Deine Ducky also Cherry-Stabilisatoren hat, wovon ich mal ausgehe, dann musst Du diese herausbrechen. Ich bin das Risiko mal eingegangen und habe mir die obigen Keypcaps bestellt. Allerdings bin ...

I don't see how you could sensibly program a keyboard without any software just by blindly pressing keys. That would probably be really hard.

I don't think this is what Grim has in mind. It sounds more like his is simply not allowed to install any software at his work and therefore needs to have ...

Also so richtig schlecht sind die WASD-Keycaps nicht (mehr?). Mein Arbeitskollege hat sich bei WASD ein Satz schwarze Keycaps im Neo-Layout machen lassen und die sind vom Schriftbild eigentlich sehr schön geworden. Die Dauerhaltbarkeit muss sich noch zeigen, da er sie erst drei Monate oder so hat ...
