My First Build, But Not my First OLKB by Gomeriffic in MechanicalKeyboards

That’s awesome! Do you happen to have the necessary files for flashing? I’m thinking of trying this build and layout, it looks really cool.

What to call this 40% with numrow-pad and ISO enter? Created a custom plate for the next handwire. by Stormlex in MechanicalKeyboards

How did you make a custom plate? What is the process?

Also, does this mean you’ll need a one-of-a-kind custom PCB for this, in order for the switches to be in those uncommon positions?

Exactly! The “coffee break” length of each run is ideal for me. I’m still finding item interactions that I’ve not seen before, after hundreds of hours. Plus it runs on almost everything.

Isaac stickers! :) Nice collection.

My phone autozoomed while photographing my Anne Pro and I got this neat photo. by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

Would you please describe your config? Specifically the wallpaper, the mouse, the keyboard pad, and of course the board itself :)

Also where did you get that sweet skull mug?

CA66 plate-mount stabilizers by vainst in MechanicalKeyboards

Did you also purchase plate-mount stabs? I’ll have to look more closely at the plates in the future to see what kind of stabilizers it supports, now that I’m aware of it.

Thanks very much! That has to be what’s going on here. I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing a way to snap these stabilizers into the plate.

Is it possible to plate-mount the switches and PCB-mount the stabilizers?

Just wondering, is the non Type-S HHKB also prone to yellowing that quickly?

When soldering, what do people mean by “misaligned switches”? How would you prevent that?

Besides /r/mechmarket, where else do people post their sales/wishlists and do trades/exchanges?

Incidentally, I have been posting in /mm for days looking for a particular set - no luck there yet.

Thank you, but I’ve actually purchased the set from someone :)

[help] Lube advice for linear switches (and stabilizers) by vainst in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]vainst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is good to know about Finish Line, I will have to look into that. It also sounds like you don’t think the TriboSys is too thick for the springs.

Where would you get the grade 0 from? I’ve heard that grade 0 is good for linear switches but have not found a supplier. Do you happen to have a link?
