I wonder if a cursory curse would be an approppriate compromise.

Several people have expressed disappointment that the keyboard is no longer cursed. I can re-curse the keyboard upon request. I will leave this up to the winner. If you win, just let me know, "I would / would not like the keyboard cursed".

Man, When did the mechanical switch stop being scratchy by themself lol. Even Alps cannot stop scratchiness unless you open up the switch and clean them.

This would be strictly a firmware-level curse.

Edit: a "HEX" if you will

Sounds interesting! Would you have an optional curse removal talisman should we grow weary of the curse?

Yep, it's an internal Soarer's converter so you'd just use the SCWR tool to write a blank config to the converter and the curse would be removed.

i concur with this.

Snacks: Take this keyboard, but beware it carries a terrible curse...
Ooooh, that's bad.
Snacks: But it comes with 122 keys!
That's good.
Snacks: The extra keys are also cursed.
That's bad.
Snacks: But you get a Soarer's Converter!
That's good.
Snacks: It's been programmed with a randomized scb file.
[blank look]
Snacks: That's bad.
Can I go now?
(I'm In)

I will only take a free keyboard if you curse it

A raffle for a usable kb with Hi-Tek 725 switches and ISO layout...? I'm so in.

Thank you for doing this and congratulations to whoever wins.

I'm totally in!

A cursed keyboard - this promises me to have fun

I'm totally in to NMB Space Invader!

dotdash watches the Simpsons.

I don't need it but put my name in just for fun. If you draw my name, please, draw again.

The bit about the curse or "hex" made my day.

I'd like to try NMB Space Invaders

A board that size is the opposite of Reddit's collective taste anyway

I'm in! Awesome giveaway

Alright so I apparently messed up the guy's refund so I'm not going to be messaging him my crazy nonsense We're now squared away and the refund has been issued. Unless people really feel the need to see me make a fool of myself.

In exchange I'll offer to dye the keyboard and keycaps black if the winner is interested in this.

Anyways, going to gather the names together and chose the winner shortly. Got home a little after I expected so it will be later than I had hoped.

So the keyboard IS cursed. Excellent.

The risk is that you'd only turn it brown. Black dye is so finicky.

I did it successfully with iDye Poly before and it turned out really cool (on one of the televideo boards). I have faith that it'd work out nicely. There was another guy who posted his method for dyeing the case with something else but I'm not able to find that post at the moment.

AND THE WINNER IS...
(sorry for the no focus)

How does it feel now that the burden of the cursed keyboard has been lifted from your shoulders?

Congratulations on winning the curse depleted whatever!
