Ahhh, the HPBRB-2... This is one of my collecting endgames.

But Handarbeit... How to explain...

Handarbeit only the name and makes you think ....

As for that nice WoB ... I was sure it was some white whale I have only one I'm willing to hunt and that it a Planar T/Poker T case. I have enough caps and boards

P.S: wouldn't refuse some ~60 nixies at a decent price

Handerbeit is just ugly. there xD

and I wish I could find someone to proxy me this :3

Mhh, nice one.

That one is funny, also (but I doubt it's Cherry MX compatible):

yeah this one is not cherry compatible, just by looking at the caps, although good looking :p

If someone can help me proxy these, I have 2 or 3 more for which I have the listings, and we could get them for ourselves :3

Slightly better pic of the SAV. I need a new camera though..

Nice just need a case and you're ready to go

What are those caps?

Those look like SGI caps to me.

Great board Khers, trying to procure SGI Granite or similar key caps myself. They look fantastic!

Yup! On your recommendation I ordered one of the Aliexpress ones. Let's see what I think of it Can't go wrong for $16 or whatever it was.

Yes, those are SGI caps. I like them a lot, but they are a little bit too yellow. Actually, it almost looks as if they were yellowed ABS , but only the spacebar is ABS and that has the same color as the rest of the keys, so one has to assume the color was chosen by the manufacturer...

You should! Out of my limited selection, I find the SGI caps to be my favorite Alps-compatible keycaps. Standard ANSI is a bonus .

Out of curiosity, have you tried any other PBT Alps-compatible key caps? The IBM P70 key caps also seem nice (and my preference in terms of appearance) but I hear the 1u key caps are rather thin..

As I wrote, my experience with Alps-compatible keycaps is rather limited. The only other PBT caps I've tried are Apple ones on my AEKII, and while those are nice, there is something I like better about these . They are a bit on the smooth side of things as far as texture goes.

Just did a quick google on IBM P70, and I have to agree with you, they look very nice indeed. Never seen those before though. Whatever IBM-stuff Hypersphere put on his also looked pretty.

I just googled the IBM P70 and I really want one now. Does anyone know where they were last sold?

To bad about the price.

Ouch.

It has been quite some time since I checked in here, so I figured I'd update the image of the Cherry Battleship.



There have been some minor layout tweaks in the Numpad area and the backplane but the concept hasn't really changed.

Raindrop DSA on Novatouch with Sci-fi ISO kit

not keyboard or keycaps, but I think it qualifies for this thread

I like dolch, but it needs a "bit" of color

Froot Loops Dolch?

Granite with a touch of Blue:

Old (SSK) and new (FSSK).

Funky layout on the FSSK. I guess that is a poor man's ANSI enter as well?

Gosh, Granite is such a pretty key set. Now that I am beginning to see people post their Granite boards, I really wish there was an Alps-mount version.

Yeah there is , the original !

And that's why I am trying to find an SGI Granite, it definitely has fantastic key caps..!

It's still a shame that there aren't more PBT Alps sets like it though.
