    That is what the previous few posts have been about.

    You could buy 20 bags Glenn, and you won't be able to put together a full set. Any raised line or scooped caps e.g. F, J and numpad 5 won't be in there.

    You do tend to get a handful of novelty caps though - I had about 8 Awesome Face caps amongst others, and quite a few RGB modifiers, but be prepared for a shedload of EPOS caps in there too.

    It's not a gripe - I eventually fleabayed all my caps and two or three numpties got into a bidding war - in short, I made a killing. :D

    Perhaps you can't put together a full matching set from SP crapbags... but some people have managed to cobble a set together in unicorn vomit in the past.

    JaccoW! I haven't tried a plate mod still :(

    I am scared haha! Which stabs is it on the board in question? Cherry stabs on a leo space bar that are really close together (comparatively speaking to other space bars) is that right?

    942 pages and counting....

    I've a lot of reading to do....:grr:

    Missing my Filco a bit but then I want something different! TKL/60% preferably....:D

    Looking at some of the sigs and the Mech KB's in there and the number of boards, makes me go: :eeek:

    Shrop has some Pure Pro 60% boards at a great price. I'd pick one up myself but I've dropped a lot of money on Round 5 caps and they won't fit that board.

    Personally I'm feeling the urge to self-build something, possibly a 40% board. Can't afford it for a while though.

    Pure Pro or a Poker II would be great choices on the 60% front. Pexon/shrop's price is pretty decent!

    Poker II is lovely, but they're pretty hard to find at the moment. There are some ISO variants floating about Amazon I think, though I don't know what it would be like buying from those sellers.

    Exactly, that or a Keycool 87.

    But I am waiting for a uTKL plate GB to come up. I could always give you something to practice on that way first. ;)

    What's it going to be for predominantly? For example I know some people that really don't get along with 60% boards for coding (I'd have no personal opinion on this but thought I should mention it). Also this will help with switch suggestions :thumb:

    HHKB! It has the best 60% Layout in my opinion.

    Not for gaming - it's a terrible layout for gaming imo (the control position is fine for general typing etc but I still muscle memory to it being bottom-left...)

    Fair enough - I've been gaming for too long with the ctrl in the bottom left to adapt to it! The rest of the layout is fantastic though - looking forward to being able to make a GH60 with a sort of HHKB layout but with the control in the bottom left :D

    Then that's not a HHKB!

    I have always remapped CTRL in games as I find the modern position too far out of my home position.

    Still loving the Type-S?
