Adding DSA Granite keyset with several extras

Up!

I got one of the XMIT keyboards form the first Massdrop batch, but I have not had it with me until now (long unrelated story). I'm still getting used to it, and after watching some videos about HE switches I have learnt about the clicky version (it looks like these original HE switches would only re...

Adding some Carbon SA keys

I have discounted a couple of euros.

PMs replied. ALPs has a new owner.

I have several sets with minimal-no use I would like to sell: Tai-Hao keyset for Cherry MX and compatible switches: Full ANSI US layout, 104 keys, plus ISO UK kit, plus extra modifiers( 2x 7u spacebar, 1.5u Alt and Ctrl modifiers and 1u modifiers) ABS material, doubleshot, "Granite" color scheme Bas...

The MCU is QFP, I resoldered one side of the chip using the drag soldering technique, I will go back to it when I have the USB connector working again and see what happens.

The MCU seems pretty obscure, so the chances to find a replacement are almost 0, I fear.

Thanks again for the advice!

Hi! I really appreciate the advice :-) Before reading your replies I tried to resolder the troublesome pins in the MCU (time ago I practiced this with small SMD stuff) Funny fact: after this the troublesome row started to work for a minute and then started to degrade and die again after this. Now I ...

I'm opening this thread to get some advice (or at least receive some comfort). >1 year ago I bought a cheap DIY keyboard kit but I only assembled it recently. The PCB had the microcontroller, resistors and so already soldered, so I just threw some switches and LEDs at it. The resulting board was wor...

Sorry for the late replies.

All the boards are gone, the user rotovator got the stash (he is also located in Spain, so shipping costs were considerably lower), in exchange he has made a donation to Deskthority. Thanks rotovator.

To the rest of users, thanks for your interest.

I want to get rid of the following keyboards and components, so I'm charging just for shipping costs (all this material is located in Spain) * Keyboard with Futaba switches, Spanish layout, PS1 connector. It is yellowed and requires cleaning (it has the remains of stickers and so) but it has some po...

I will look into that thanks! There is the enjoyPBT set that looks like olivetti. Anyone knows if it is an OK match? 80 bux for just the Moogle is pretty expensive though! https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Enjoypbt-keyboard-mechanical-keyboard-keyboarded-hot-117-keycaps/32694867686.html?isOrigTitle=tr...

Working Beamspring IBM VideoWriter in the EU, anyone? http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HFMAAOSwzaJX6Vh4/s-l500.jpg I know some people here consider IBM Beamsprings their personal unicorn / white whale, so when I saw one pop up yesterday my first instinct was to jump on it. The thing is, it's >$200 shi...

I have a couple of things I would like to put a realistic price: * Poker 2, ANSI, MX Brown, in really good shape and with its original (and never used) thick PBT keys (with ugly font) * Cherry keyset, German ISO winkelyess, lasered thick PBT. I know being lasered makes it not that much desirable. Th...

Thanks! I'm specially happy of being able to use old Cherry keysets

I just wanted to show a small keyboard I got not long ago. I'm just the lucky buyer and assembler, most of it is the result of the nice work of Txepox, from the small but merry Spanish keyboard community, he got PCB, switches and stabilizers and did all the soldering and initial programming. The cab...

In Spain you only hear that in the South You can be creative and add the adjective "Seco" to remove any trace of dignity. But for me the effect is almost comical (while still being an insult).

True. There is a limit. I don't support the idea of Japanese prefectural flags (as flashy as some of them may be), or the various counties of Scotland, England or wherever else. But some non-nation states are definitely worth recognition. The nations in waiting! Such as the Basques: https://upload....

maxmalkav was first on the waiting list but didn't get a go in the end. Maybe seebart sold him one. Indeed. It's funny, I have been quite busy lately and I have just realized I have overlooked quite some details about this buy. Indeed I have bought one from Seebart (probably he saw this thread and ...

Thanks Seebart Halvar!

He did post that he had some kind of bike accident earlier on, so a few people have speculated that he was in over his head with medical bills. Kind of a "Breaking Bad" story... But that's all just speculation. I had something like this in mind, at least it is what fiction shows all the time about ...

If it is really a scam, I really wonder what may lead a person into doing something like this. He had spent quite a lot of time and effort making several PBT GBs happen. How much such a "scam" may give him? Several thousand $? Building a reputation for so long just to do that? It does not sound like...

I join the waiting list just in case one unit becomes available

My rule of thumb is.. (ok, that was an easy one), right. I was taught to type with old and purely mechanical Olivetti typewriters, so I guess the habit started there.

Matt3o, I did not find anyone for Spain (maybe we do not have any club member at all in Spain ). Anyhow, I'm still willing to proxy for the Netherlands if needed

Thanks a lot! I was familiar with the concept of "game of life", but I was not aware about the details like this.

A friend and DT member got some 7bit's assorted packs of DCS/DSA keys for a raffle among the Spaniard folks ... ... and we are really intrigued about the meaning of the key you can see below inside the red circle: http://i.imgur.com/46OgoRo.jpg Anyone knows the meaning of the symbol or at least the ...

The lack of yellow in the winning options is disturbing!
