    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Keyboard

Well, just out of curiosity, does anybody have a clue what keyboard this guy is using ? :

Could it be custom made or something ? Can't find anything like it on the net. I just think it looks kinda cool. :cool:

Thanks!
 
I don't think that's it. I went full screen and tried to read what's on the front edge, but it's nonsensical. I have some gamer friends on FB, so I posted a screen cap there to ask.
 
Thanks Marcel and Tom.

I like that it is about half as small as my own keyboard because it has just about no surrounding frame. Also letters on my keyboard will start to fade eventually starting with the A and S keys. I guess this won't happen with a keyboard like this of which the letters are lighted. (i think..)

Marcel, no, it's not the Corsair K55 but thanks for the tip, thru it i found this comes fairly close but it's still not it : Cooler Master Ck550 Gaming Toetsenbord: Amazon.nl

Yeah, can't make out neither what's written on the frame, that's why i guess it could be custom made ( like your mouth mask, Tom :livid: )

Interesting what your gamer friends will say, thanks !

I think those markings are something like Halo or something. I recognize the markings as a keyboard from a company I bought one for my son once or twice. I just texted him to see if he recognizes it...

Why you'd be asking a bunch of old fogies like us is beyond me ;)
 
Not sure what the guy in the video is using, but I had a very similar keyboard that was only about as big as it needed to be to hold the keys, the Ducky One:

The Vortex is even tighter in design, but I like having a little space between the key sections:

You might browse around this site... They have a ton of mechanical keyboard designs, and on most you can choose between a wide variety of switches depending on whether you want client, clicky, etc.
 
Thanks guys!
Think i must've seen about 250 different mechanical keyboards by now. :dizzy:

Thanks John, i like what this Jayz2Cents guy is doing. Always been an aircraft-model-weathering-enthousiast-a-la-Verlinden-way. Very much appreciate what he's doing with this neat little computercase and keyboard. Love it! Have made a few Star Wars models myself. Weathered and all.

Getting all kind of ideas in my head.First to establish which mechanical keyboard to get. F.i. i might get a Trust GXT877 Scarr or one of these Redragon's.

Thanks again all ! :encouragement:
 
And then they bring up this.... ;)
