    Wish i hadnt thrown all my Amiga stuff away now, well i think its all gone.

    Its only taken 30 years for us all to come back to wanting the quality of yesteryear back.

    Seems weve gone full circle.

    Cherry 1986 is only a little better made than Cherry 2009. I only say 2009 since they discontinued doubleshots in 2010 and their laser keycaps are no comparison.

    Personally I'd be interested in buying all of those boards as they are. Which ones have blues?

    There are a couple options, WASDkeyboards is a little expensive for just white keys but an option nonetheless.
    You can try Qtans store (Google esports gaming equipment)
    you can check out deskthority/geekhack forums to see if anyone is selling some
    and of course, there's eBay to consider :)

    @kid the choc mini has blues, as well as a Poker that should hopefully arrive this week (Canadian surface mail...)

    Cheers.
    Whatever you decide, I would be interested in giving those a try, I'd rather them without any mods anyway. :D So it's a Filco MJ1 with blacks, that could be interesting! Is it TKL?

    It's a Filco MJ1 TKL with ghetto reds actually! I have a bunch of black springs you see ;)

    It is definitely the best MX Red keyboard I've personally tried, I actually like reds now (shock)

    Unfortunately no, there's a Poker in nx black and blue but not brown! However Pokers are very easy to mod switches, so if I had brown switches I could install them pretty easily. Or just brown stems/springs would do.

    Even if I get a Filco, I need to get a damn Moogle kit, and there aren't really any available right now. :(

    Edit: I bet it's unlikely that you'll have any 1.25 doubleshot modifiers to sell Lysol, but what do you want for them if you do?

    A terrible predicament :(

    Although I personally can't think why you would need a Moogle except if you have a set of Cherry original/replica caps without the bottom row..?

    Moogles are cherry profile and have the cherry font, which doesn't really go well with other caps.

    Because the rest of the board will be cherry doubleshots, and doubleshots are almost impossible to get in 1.25. :)

    1. Buy white Filco
    2. Buy lysol's caps
    3. Put all caps but modifiers on board
    4. Replace Filco modifiers with moogle kit when you find one

    next moogle GB won't be soon, just buy a Moogle off a member tbh, your best bet.

    And sorry I don't have modifiers on their own, although I will have a complete DS set soon hopefully.

    Going to in a little while.

    Have you any idea what price you want for either the Poker or the Filco Hamza? Sorry to ask so soon. :)
