    Knowing my luck I'd break the switches if I did that.

    I believe that Imsto has some Pokers with brown switches over at GH.

    Yeah, browns is the only switch type there is still stock of for Poker. Other switch only available as custom order from factory for distributor, big MOQ.

    No idea, it is a really unclear thread! I can't be ares to monitor it so I will wait for them to appear second hand one day!

    Yeah. I'm going to continue keeping an eye on the thread, but the best thing would be for me to get access to making threads in the marketplace. :)

    It's so weird being another forum newbie after staying here so long!

    True Poker is easy to mod, but even for me that is expireinced, sometimes it is hard to locate stems in marketplace to do the mod... and if you had to buy switch from retail, even a good price of $.60/ea makes the price much more than if you could buy the keyboard with switch you wanted in the first place.

    If you want painted caps, get some hobby paint... why you need to wait for someone else to paint a keycap?

    Lysol,
    Do you have ds modifiers that you might sell? Not beige in my plans but am looking for a modifier set to go with metal caps on my Pure. Titanium spacebar ordered. Know I might have to compromise on shiftkeys. The odd location tilde key is reserved for a girldc ironman key ;)

    You also mentioned a grey set? If dolch style I may be interested for my wasd but that is ISO so might not work. Looked at the R4 GB but don't have time to work out what I would need.

    Nexo, Yeah, BBC micro, now i come to think of it, i cant ever remember having to replace a bbc micro keyboard, when ii used to repair 8 bit micros back in the day.

    Dam ive got old.

    I remeber the Oric and we had to mod every one of them as they suffered a problem of keybounce.
    Well everyone that came in for repair that is, wheter it was for a keyboard issue or not.

    GMC, if you want white on black I can get Cherry doubleshot set with 1.25 mods, and center stem caps, but it would be $90ish. If you went that way I have some spare 1.75 white on black shift I could include. My grey is black on all light grey, and is GB ISO... but I am not certain if I do want to sell it or not.
    If you want Dolch, I might be able to get that as well, but would be looking at $150ish for ansi, or $220 for ISO DE.

    Dolch would be lovely but that's too steep for me after 2 Ti spacebars and with the ironman imminent.
    Got any pics for the black on white? What would I do for the fn key?, perhaps try to find a symbol mod?
