Posted October 1, 2015 do the contacts look corroded or anything? I cant tell from the images. I never tested the switches with a multimeter when I had the keyboard since that would have meant buying a new one or driving 30+ minutes to get one so maybe it isn't the switched but something else. It is hard to say since the keyboard did seem to work after I replaced the switches at least for a bit. There is also the chance that you opened the one switch I desoldered from the numpad then accidentally mixed into the bad switches that forced me to desolder another lol. Dust can heavily affect the switches performance and operation. This is the downfall of Alps. That switch looks ok to me so I would look at the leafs and rebend them. After enough presses they wear out.

Why are there 4? n0ah1897, on 05 Mar 2014 - 2:08 PM, said: "Computers are like girls. It's whats in the inside that matters. I don't know about you, but I like my girls like I like my cases.

Posted October 3, 2015 hhkb came into the mail today... been misstyping a bunch.... but i think i'll be able to get used to it... love the feel of topre. am glad i got it. also the leather wrist wrest from elitekeyboards.com is worlds better than the ducky one..I used to own the either ones from elite keyboards. They are quality but I don't think they are wide enough at only 3.5in.i had to space mine away from the keyboard a bit which worked alright. But not great. The wrist rest is pretty slide so I suggest that you buy some egrips and put them on the bottom and it'll keep it right where you want it. UPDATED An enthusiasts guide to video feat.

Posted October 14, 2015 Have @Charger build you one of my ergo dox's No but seriously I will probably be putting up two of my original ErgoDox kits this week at some point. lol it would be cheaper but not a cool... and we all know what matters.... your not the only one we know that has done that. Im sure we will see some nice photos of the switches. The only reason he bought it was to mess with the switches themselves lol ill get some pics up in time. Currently my work area for keyboards doesnt exist. Yeah, but it is still pretty cool http://matias.ca/ergopro/pc/viewer/?1 IDK how i would like ergodox, i like the oversized spacebar of my Apple (and the matias) Im not sure how I would like the layout too, its deffinatly diffferent ErgoDox can have any layout you want that is why you get a programmable board...

Posted October 22, 2015 Maby. But can the ergo dox - tilt and tent? And I don't want to spend 250$ the magic of the ergodox is you can make anything to put under it to make it sit how you want. If you look around you can find people that have done that already. Actually doing some research I might consider ergodox.
