Thanks Tiproman Those pyramidal ones sound interesting. I would want black though, as that's my keyboard colour. At least there's a second avenue for exploration, so thanks again

"Switch Blockers!" hahah of course
Thank you… now to just actually find some, SP are out of stock

I'm quite sure I've seen POS keyboards where some of the switches have been covered with some kind of "blanking" keycap, where that key is not in use… I must be getting the search terms wrong, because I can't find any examples. Does anyone know a) what Im talking about and b) where I might get some?

Muirium you're my hero! It turns out while I couldn't get the "media controls" or "international keys" to work, the "keys in pc keyboards" all worked fine, along with F20 - F24. So now every key on the board is a unique single key and I am happy about it.

Yep, I'm already using Karabiner with a little bit of Hammerspoon peppered in there. I look forward to reading through your thread on the topic Mu. This Tipro is being used exclusively as a macro pad, in addition to my standard keyboard. Sadly there's not quite enough unique key strokes supported on ...

Hi kbdfr and Muirium, thanks for helping out :)

(Just quickly, Muirium – yep I'm using a USB model.)

So using the right click "Special content" is only available when the key's interface is set to the PS/2 and USB mode. I can successfully program F13 using this method, just as I can also ...

UPDATE: this is no longer something I need. Thanks to Miurium I was able to find enough unique standard keys and didn't need to use "custom codes" after all.

Hey Tipro people :)

I hope you don't mind me bringing this thread back to life. I've got a Tipro TM-KMX-128A and I am having a difficult ...

I'm a huge fan of Case Labs cases. Do you know of these guys? Perhaps not quite the look you are going for with this build. But they do have a kind of retro aesthetic; or at least a built-to-last one, not too dissimilar to the cases or yesteryear. But in terms of quality, modularity and ...

Happy Christmas, from the new guy, down in Australia! May 2014 be the year for lurkers to come out of their shells

I just noticed the "IBM System 3 Model 10 Terminal 3277" (that was taken down) has been relisted.

woah! how did that happen!!?? AMAZING!!

Done. How many would I need to order to bring the price to $2 (or less) each? for example, would 40 cost much the same as 20?

Also, what time exactly is the cutoff? I need to go to work in a short while, and wont be able to pick things back up until about 9 hours from now. will that be too late?

Thanks for that kps, I think Ill just stick with grey... But what's this... the greys have gone up to $9 each... ahhhh

Hey 7bit, what if I order BLANK/R3U200P/GREY 20

would that bring it back down?

GULP

I think I will rethink what I was thinking.
It's such an epic shame about the BLANK/R3U200P/WHITE
They were going to be my space bars

Nooooo what happened to all the blank POS double width keys :`(

I wanted the following:

BLANK/R3U200P/WHITE 2
BLANK/R1U200P/RED 2
BLANK/R4U200P/GREY 3
BLANK/R2U200P/GREY 2
BLANK/R1U200P/GREY 2

…who sadly have disappeared into nothingness.

Oh sorry yes, I was thinking about HONEY/POS4/BLANK. I did look at HONEY/POS- but I wouldn't really use many of those keys, so decided against it in the end. My work involves motion graphics and CG so any programming specific keys are of little use to me.

Doesn't it only have 4 x double width keys for each colour? Just to clarify, are you suggesting to mix up my modifiers with different colours? Or am I missing something?

Oh also here are the links to the K-L-E projects: Tipro Layout.

Woah, finally I've worked it out (I think anyway). I decided to go the Tipro route, attached is a look at the layout I have settled on… Inspired in large part by Muirium's Custom 60% Matrix concept . I'm new to all this, so if there are any glaring holes in what I have come up with, please let me ...

Hey 7bit
Just a reminder that you mentioned you would include a row1 equals sign in the numeric kits. Is this still going to happen?

Just wondering why the equals key "=" is on R4 in all the numpad/numeric kits? Any chance of getting this on R1? That way it will fit better on Filco / Leopold keypads.

I'll be ordering a HONEY/APPLE125/BLACK. But I wont be putting the order through for about 3 hours, I have to go out now and still haven't finalized my order.

Thanks 7bit & Muirium for your help regarding switches :)
Now it's just a matter of finally working out which caps I want (without going nuts!!)

Update:
I'm having a hard time deciding if I go with the HONEY/TKL kit or a combo of the HONEY/TKL/BASE + HONEY/ALPHA
The difference being that (in the ...

Hey guys, I'm seeking some advice about switches.

As a total noob, I am entering the Mechanical Keyboard arena purely because of how beautiful these keycaps are. So the board/boards I end up buying are in support of these beautiful keycaps :) I love them!

A cherry mx tester (red; black; blue ...
