Been floating this idea with the Keepers and some others. In
the past I ran a
switch and keycap tester tour. Hashbaz has the
ultimate switch tester tour. But it seems like interest to ebb and flow with the
tours. And I had my tour set so that the minimum post limit
was 100 posts, which was a high entry point. I think weve
come up with a solid idea so I thought Id see what the
community thinks.
Switch/Keycap Tester Library
You know how you go to the library, it has all these
books, and you pick a few that youre interested in? Same
concept. Well stock a bunch of tester stuff and if you want
to try it out, just let us know. I have the tester in my
switch tester tour link above. CM Storm
has those 6 switch testers coming. I can buy/borrow/collect keycaps and make an Alps tester
board. And I have a way to get a relatively cheap Topre
board.
The thread would work something like:
- CPTBadAss switch tester Available
- CM Storm tester /#1 On loan to XX
- CM Storm tester /#2 On loan to YY
- Keycap bag Available
- Alps tester board Available
-
Topre tester board On loan to ZZ
So wed keep the boards on hand and have a perpetually running thread. If you wanted to borrow something, you leave a message in the thread. Borrower pays for shipping both ways. Have less than /#/# posts? Leave a deposit with one of the Keepers (probably myself or jdcarpe). When we get the tester back, you get your deposit back. Have more than /#/# posts? We lend it to you for the cost of shipping.
I think this could work for CONUS/Canada/Europe. I have a proxy in Italy that could help me distribute testers in EU for cheap (USPS shipping rates from me to Italy). BlueBar might be able to add his tester to this when hes all done with his plans.
I know in the past Ive been skittish about lowering my post count rule on my own tour but Id feel better with the backing of the Keepers about lowering the rule.
Anyways thoughts, opinions, and comments are welcome! And maybe I can get a hold of a Model M but those would be a bit harder (i.e. bigger) to ship.
