Everybody needs some DCS Honeywell in their life if you ask me! 
Seriously though this will be a banging set, plus while SP wants whoever buys them to keep producing keycaps & working with the community there is no guarantee they will. So I’m grabbing up as much Signature Plastics keysets as I can before the sale just to be safe!

My set of DCS Midnight just came through the door very recently and I was contemplating on buying this set… it’s so beautiful.

What does “injection-treated” even mean?
Are they trying to church up injection molded?
EDIT: just realized they’re out of Korea, perhaps a translation miss.

Vala has a bunch of JTK sets (including HSA WoB and BoB) in stock now and has HSA Hyperfuse at 30% off (Hyperfuse is the only HSA on sale though).

This is sort of a things that make us go hmmm… I was interested in the knight stabilizer because I just can’t get my space bar to stop ticking. I’ve lubed and tuned it. It’s perfect on the left side but has a very slight wobble on the right and I always hit it with my right thumb. I’ve dismantled the board three times to remount the durock v2. So…knight stabilizer to the rescue. $15.00 looks good and then shipping, $18.00. Ouch.

Yeah I bought some other items with them to justify the shipping. There are other vendors who carry them. They’re just all sold out. Probably restocking soon though.

Keyboard layouts were so wacky and interesting before they were mostly standardized. Wandered by this at the Vintage Computer Festival this weekend.

Love it! A cursed cursor layout with the smallest of space bars.

I am wondering if it is one of the numerous Sinclair ZX80 clones that have been made in the 80s, as written in Marcin’s book Shift Happens …

So I got a chance to try out these Pure sliders in some switches & they definitely do make them feel smoother. Geon may be onto something with the POM + PTFE mixture. From my quick tests these definitely do better with switches that are a little scratchy in the first place, like Cherry switches for example. When I tried them in HMX housings there was a tiny bit of improvement, however they are already very smooth switches & I feel it would be a waste of these sliders to use them for just marginal improvement.
The other thing I noticed is they have a higher pitched sound than just plain POM sliders. They’re supposedly 80% POM & 20% PTFE so I wasn’t expecting the sound to be changed as much as it is, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in pitch in all the housings I’ve tried so far. I think this could be mitigated somewhat by lube though. Still got more experimenting to do, but I am leaning towards putting these in either new nixie or MX black housings & lube + filming them. Will report back when I get a chance to mess around with them some more!

No it’s a bizarre COSMAC advanced variant.

I often wonder, with the ease of small-scale fabrication, if there isn’t a market among the retro enthusiasts for seeing these layouts replicated at a reasonable price. Just as one example, it’s easy enough to get C64 keycaps, but that layout has always been its own source of 'memberberries.
