You need to use the no parse tags!

 

What do you mean? sorry quite new here

 

No worries

The no parse tags allow you to quote a post without it displaying images or videos i.e.

The tags look like this: [noparse] [noparse] put the body of text here [/noparse][/noparse]

 

Ahhhh my apologies!

, will be handy to know

 

No need to apologise! Everyone is new at some point, the tags just help keep the thread clean otherwise you get 5 people all quoting the same images!

 

Or even better, when you quote a post full of images, just replace all of the text with something short and relevant like this:

 

yeah and a huge wall of image spam /noted

win!

 

That is a good point!

 

Hi,

what are the (semi-)low profile options on the market ?

The only one i could find so far in Europe is Cherry MX-Board 3.0 G80-3850, but that is next to impossible to get shipped to Slovakia (the only one i could find both in stock and shipping is CCL Online, but they ask £68.63 for the keyboard and probably £20 for shipping . Amazon UK has it out of stock, and i am not settling for german version.

 

I used a G84-something quite recently and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it felt to type on.

 

that is the short board isn't it that has ML switches?

Aye, ML has a very mixed reputation. Some people swear by them, some people despise them!

 

Yeah the one I used had a trackpad on it, but I was expecting the MLs to feel terrible and whilst they are not up to MX standard, for short throw switches they weren't bad. Preferable to scissors.

 

EDIT: I'm stupid. Confused MLs with MYs hah

 

faugusztin, perhaps PCHome for the G80-3850? They also have choices of switches unlike most other places and are probably cheaper, though you may get slapped with import charges...

 

I still love how the switch types translate into English - particularly 'tea axis' as it makes me think of an axis of evil hell-bent on world tea domination

 

I like how in asia green axis normally means mx blue switches.

 

PCHome :
Keyboard without VAT - $101.39
Europe - shipping $ 20
Total : $121.39
Total (EUR): €91.97
Total with 20% VAT : €110.364

CCL Online :
Keyboard with VAT : £68.63
Slovakia - shipping : £20.00
Total : £88.63
Total (EUR) : €103.73

No point in ordering from outside EU in this case, as it is more expensive than CCL.

 

HAH! Somebody's hit me with rep - went from a couple of thousand to 1/4M in the blink of an eye... I'm looking at you fuss, margon...

 

Wasn't me, I swear......
