Wait they're still being manufactured?
I thought that the last of them were purchased from Cherry/distributors about 3 years ago, so they were only really available second hand.

They stopped production two years ago. By "in stock" I meant when they manage to get another cache of them or something. Good luck on the second hand market though

Finally...
[QUOTE=Steven :D;51995533]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.[/QUOTE]
They are amazing. By far the best switch I have in my possession but unfortunately the Lightsaver is where my heart resides :(
Speaking of, I finally fixed the LEDs!
Had to jump some lifted pads, but all the LEDs are functioning correctly now! There is a slight problem where my keys are actually hitting the tops of the LEDs rather than bottoming out (about .5mm above where they would normally bottom out, resulting in some weird feel, but it's fine so far, if it really starts to bother me I'll probably just end up shaving them. Does anyone know how to shave the top off an LED?

That's a nice board. I'm currently trying to get a TX87 from MM right now, wish me luck.
Anyone want to buy my Poker II with stock caps? It's MX blues, getting rid of some stuff so I can afford a kustom.
Damn, Massdrop are doing a two kit limit in the keycap sale tonight. I was hoping I'd be able to pick up at least the three kits of DSA Hana my B.mini EX needs and Flextras too if there were any available. Staying up to 11pm to catch the start is looking less enticing now.
[editline]27th March 2017[/editline]
Ah, looks like they've decided to give people one extra kit at 7am tomorrow and then a fourth at 7am on Wednesday. So it's still possible to get all I want, but unlikely.
Well shit, Hana base sold out in less than two minutes and they didn't have any adapter or numpad. At least I got Flextras I guess, which seems desirable on mechmarket if I can't buy the other kits second hand.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK I could have bought a VE.A if I even knew that drop was happening.
[QUOTE=Banned?;52018771]FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK I could have bought a VE.A if I even knew that drop was happening.[/QUOTE]
They only had four which all sold within two minutes, if it makes you feel any better.
Missed troubled minds base :(
In other news, I have more keyboard money.
I was gonna get a whitefox but then I saw the price and had to go lay down for a while
[QUOTE=Maximum Mod;52019202]I was gonna get a whitefox but then I saw the price and had to go lay down for a while[/QUOTE]
now imagine having to pay for it, AND the import taxes which is like 75% of the price added on top

RIP Wallet, just got a TX87 kustom with 65g Zealios and zealencios already installed for $475. What a steal.
You paid $475 for a [URL="https://deskthority.net/wiki/TX87"]keypad[/URL]? :wow:

Deskthority wiki seems confused, it says on the TX page itself that the 87 and pad are separate things. 87 = standard Tenkeyless.

Tx87 is a tkl but there are kustom pass that go for 250+. Especially stuff like the Lightpad

Good lord, no. I don't even use my number pad.
I'm on mobile but here's an album of it being packed [url]http://imgur.com/a/KHad0[/url]
nvm

Also, there hasn't been a public GB for the 87 specifically, only the 84. There aren't many 87s out there since they have only been sold in extremely small quantities.

wow, like i've said i hate TKL formfactor (96key is as big as i can go), but that rose gold case with the clear switches and zealencios is fucking 100
do zealencio's change the actual switch feel? if they can retain a firm bottom out + silencing + not overly reducing travel i might need to pick some up
[editline]31st March 2017[/editline]
i just want him to bring back pink linear zealios
[editline]31st March 2017[/editline]
assuming i can get the cash i might ball out for lsv3...
sip sockets, zealios+zealencios, pcb swap sockets for switch hotswapping, rgb leds (assuming that lsv3 supports it)
hardest part will be finding the keycaps

Yeah I wouldn't have spent as much as I did if I didn't think the case it's self was good looking. I'm gonna put SA Chocolatier on it.
AFAIK the travel change is like 0.5mm so it's very negligible.

Also look at Invyr Panda switches as a solution to linear zeals, I've heard they are very smooth.
[editline]31st March 2017[/editline]
No need for switch swapping if the board supports switchtop removal. Zealio housings are godlike for everything.
Pretty sure I saw on Reddit thay Zeal is doing​ linear Zealios in a single weighting next round, so there's that.
Also read a fair bit about pandas not living up to expectations, they have inconsistent lubing from the factory and even with manual lubing them yourself they're not as good as something like Gat black or vintage Cherry black stems in Zealio housings.

Man I wish I could get my hands on one of the CP variants like in that video, that compact 1800 layout is super nice.

Zealio said on GH that Gateron shot down Pinks despite him trying to negotiate it 3 times, so I'm not sure they are happening. Hopefully they do (even if its a different color). I would kill for 55g zealio linear switches for my LSv3.

TX-CP is getting a R2 group buy soon. Keep your eye on GH.

Also Zombii, just from seeing your board with its num/caps lock indicator LED's, I need to get some for my own board when it comes in on Monday.
