Problem was that the holes where the bolts are sunk in are really deep and slim and we didn't have a tool for that in our neighborhood

That's called a screwdriver.
You can buy them at a hardware store.
Very useful.
also pls no abuse model m, it did nothing wrong. if you want to abuse a buckling spring board then pls buy a unicomp and defile that instead.
Screwdriver are the ones with the cross or the line at the tip:P

if that is the extent of your screwdriver experience then you are in for some great enlightenment

Most model m boards have hex bolts not regular screws my dude
the hole is too small for regular sockets

You can use a flathead with hex bolts, and hex screwdrivers are a pretty common thing.
This is why I keep buying screwdriver sets, they always have some problem
Have a really nice proper set that's too big to get into fiddly places
A precision set that's too small for a lot of things
A nice ratcheting handle + bit set that's the perfect size and variety, but the bits are too short
Now I'm looking for a set of bits with really long heads so I can just use the handle :v:

In other news, I may give away my Magicforce /w Outemu blacks since I don't really use it much. I'll probably arrange a giveaway on here at some point for it and maybe a bonus or two.
Any recommendations on a mechanical bluetooth keyboard without a numpad? Preferably brown or white switches, preferably US layout.

ANNE Pro.
Oh man. That's surprisingly good and at a reasonable price for that stuff. I'm not gonna use it for gaming though, and the flashy lights are very unnecesary for me. But why not, right?
Definitely my #1 pick right now, thank you! One question though, I couldn't see anywhere if it works for Mac. Keyboards are pretty much universal though, no?

Afaik it supports mac as well. Though if you don't like the LED's you can just turn em off.
What is the cheapest way to get the anne shipped again?

I really want a GMK key but I never like the ones that are on Massdrop.

Also take a look at GMK Burgundy [url]https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87995.0[/url]
I picked up a Corsair K70 Rapidfire today and I have to admit. I really like the MX Speeds a lot. I tried Blue, Red, Brown, Green, Black, and Clear but I tried the K70 at MicroCenter and I really like the super short key travel amount. I'd recommend it.

Originative sometimes has GMK sets I want but never when I have money. They had some white and orange set that was pretty neat o but it's gone now.

True. It's more about paying for something you don't need, but I guess they can't add that much to the price in the end.

I would love to know this too!
Probably banggood, I've never ordered from there but I know a lot of people get their MK accessories from there.
As an aside, I've sold over a dozen keyboards and I've never had trouble selling like I am with this 60%. Are people just not buying right now or something? Half of the boards I've sold were gone within a day.
I feel like I should post it on GH but I don't have enough posts to make a classifieds listing :/
Amazing Chocolatier finally in MD's warehouse. Looking forward to it next week or whatever, first SA set.
Ducky Shine 4 died on me after 1.5 years. Got a Shine 6.
We'll have to see if buying the same brand was a good idea.
Finally got my plum 84 topre clone and I'm really pleased, got to compare it to a friends novatouch (I know, perhaps not the most fair comparison). The plum being only 35g felt a lot lighter ofc, but the difference between the two was smaller than I anticipated

One of the biggest differences between the different weighted domes is how crisp and defined the thock is.

I can imagine, been thinking about getting a new dome sheet too. Also kinda want to find/make a case for it. Didn't find any obvious 75% 84 key cases when googling
If anyone is looking for random keycaps or anything, check out my new post on [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/60kawc/uskyhmodified_poker_ii_stock_sets_wyse_doubleshot/]r/mm[/url]. Decided I have too much useless stuff and need to get rid of it.
Also, does anyone here have experience soldering LEDs? I need to get thinner solder to work on mine and was wondering what thickness people use for LEDs.
Uh I just soldered new blue leds on my model m using normal .56mm pb38sn60cu2
Make sure to get the resistors right though, I just went without for now and it's super bright - I guess modern boards have them already though

That is just throughhole stuff, no idea about smd
It's not SMD, thankfully those were presoldered in a color I like, just throughhole. My problem is the solder i have is like, 1mm diameter or more. I only need a small spool but amazon only sells huge spools of Kester

Those switches you have in your poker sound heavenly to type on, though I'd probably prefer something around 50g as opposed to 35g personally speaking. Right now I'm trying to get a TX87.
Does anyone here know of someone/somewhere selling MX Lock switches?
I'm considering getting some.

When they are in stock. Otherwise they're a bit harder to get a hold of. There were group buys for em at around $6 a pop just for reference.
