Was it the daughter board that sits above the arrow keys?

As long as it wasn't the main board, to which all the key switches are soldered, it's probably worth it

yep its the small board thats plugged with connector (connectors?)

it takes 5 minutes

has anyone here "upgraded" from a Kinesis Advantage to an Advantage 2? Is it worth it in any way?

I have a bunch of advantages (it's the only sensible keyboard to use tbh) and am not sure if I'm missing out on anything important

if only there was a way to know more about this....

i have received my filco majestouch 2 convertible (usb + bluetooth) with browns and it's been great albeit for the abs keycaps

where can I get a "normal" set of white text on black PBT keycaps? I can't seem to find any.

Are Bluetooth mechanical keyboards “a thing” (as the kids say these days)?

(I mean, mechanical in whatever way you people use it, not in the sense that all keyboards are inherently mechanical).

i have a filco majestouch 2 convertible and its good

bump.

should i just sell this thing to some nerd on ebay for 50 bucks or what

I take it you used some contact cleaner?
most model m issues afaik are related to bad contacts and are either fixed via cleaning them or what was called the “bolt mod” which iirc is where you replace the rivets that hold the assembly with bolts so you end up with a firmer/better contact.

is that worth 50$ to you??

I am aware of the bolt mod. I'm 99% sure the issue is between the membranes; I did spritz some contact cleaner down there but i think the 'top membrane' is closed so it probably didn't get down into where it needs to.

I think i can power through 84 chisels and drill to clean and re-bolt it. Just an evening in front of the teevee

take pictures! i have a model m where the e is doubled 50% of the time and its infuriating so I might follow :)

It already exists, and it's definitely hundreds of your dollars to get one. I'm waiting on my preorder of the Hyper7 R4. 173 key aircraft carrier of a keyboard. It was supposed to start shipping last month but the company they were going to have make the keycap sets pitched a fit or something and they're delayed until Q3 2024 while they work things out with a new vendor :sigh:
