I would be willing to test out but I'm also in the USA. Shipping will be $2.50 USD, 17$ USD total, about the same in Australia actually The case itself is only 22mm when closed but when split into two halves sits at a comfortable 11mm each. I can easily cram it into a load of HDPE foam and ship it ...

If you can wait, Wingklip is making little two-tone 3D printed PS/2 => USB converter boxes currently that should be going up for sale relatively soon from the sounds of things. I think he said about $20AUD shipped (?) was what he was looking to sell them at. If you're comfortable with soldering, I'...

IBM Model M to USB, mushy stabilzers, backplate

I was wondering what the best way to deal with the model M PS/2 situation, I want to turn it to USB but I'm not sure what the best method of doing that would be. Is there a controller or something I could buy for it? As for the stabilizers, for some reason they feel "mushy" and bind with off key pre...

When the traces make contact, a keypress is registered. Therefore the traces must be facing each other with the plastic sheet with holes in be...

A couple of questions. 1. How careful were you with the controller while you were working? Did you store it carefully? 2. Are you sure you assembled it correctly? The correct order should be: 1. backplate, 2. membrane with traces facing away from the backplate, 3. plastic sheet with holes, 4. membr...

I think you need a multimeter to check if a trace is broken, Btw you helped me a lot with your post, I have a keyboard with some keys that dont register and I saw on your pictures the reason, that they are all in one row, which means that this trace broken. Thanks for that, now to your problem, che...

IBM Model M bolt mod help

Okay so this is my first time bolt modding and I tested the keyboard before I disassembled it, the keyboard indeed worked.
