I ordered them 2 years ago from Ellipse, and they’ve been sitting here waiting for the board to arrive.

Got mine today and set it up/flashed the updated firmware. This was worth the 2 year wait, imo. So far, no issues.

I did a search of the topic and didn't see anyone else ask about this, so here goes. Is anyone else experiencing an issue with Unicomp stepped caps lock keys binding in the F104, and does anyone know how to resolve it? I had Unicomp print red accent keys to match my board and unfortunately the Caps ...

Hello,

Just wanted to bump this thread to
1. Let everyone know that I am in fact, not dead
and 2. The channel has migrated to Libera, I was able to get in touch with krav and it's all sorted. Come join us!
If you log in on freenode and find that you are banned, that is why.

As of right now I've made everyone who is nominated have optional op flag in case trouble arises.

Edit: except for scottc, his nick isn't registered

Honestly looks like they just slapped micro leap motion devices between the keys. I see nothing new here.

I'm back with another review of WASD's v2 87-key keyboard. This time, their 87-key v2 with Cherry Greens. I've had the keyboard for almost two weeks now and have switched to using it as my daily driver from my Unicomp SpaceSaver.


Intro

Quite a lot has changed from WASD's “v1” keyboard that I ...

I figure it's only a matter of time before I'm banned here too. It never ceases to amaze me how good intentions are so often mistaken for bad.

I would like to hope that we're a bit more democratic, but based on my limited experience of your contributions to the community, I can safely say that ...

Miss out on the Kishsavers, did you? 60% Model F is one keyboard I actually have. Although it's waiting for a controller.

It did. In 1984…

No, I have several. I ...

I'd really like for them to build a model F 60%, but you know I'll never see that...

I've went ahead and done that. We'll see where it goes.

I just got a shockingly convincing email about ten minutes ago with the following contents:

Since it is April 2, but the email was dated April 1.. is it real?


Edit: I can confirm this is real:

Updated this thread as I'm the one who manages PayPal donations and lately people have been leaving no comment. PayPal tells me it's for Deskthority but if your PayPal email does not match the one on your user account (with no comment) your contribution goes unattributed!

Alright, well I've decided to take this on as my pet project if that's okay, because I've wanted to do this for a while, but I can't design PCBs for shit. I've got free time, soldering skill, and I'll run my own PCBs and order parts. so you don't have to mail me yours. Yeah, I know I haven't been ...

Doesn't Kickstarter use Amazon for deferred payments? There's plenty of projects there with goals in the low thousands, seems about the right kind of scale for fairly big group buys like this.

They do, and with Amazon unless you are buying from an Amazon reseller there is no dispute process ...

For what it's worth, I run the PayPal donations: It tells me Purpose: Deskthority so I know that means I need to PM webwit with an email address (or username) and an amount. If you don't include your username that makes it difficult if you don't use the same email address here.

Hello fellow Deskthority users. A few weeks ago I received a WASD Semi-Custom 104-key keyboard with Cherry blues as a review sample because I wanted to preview the quality of their keyboards for everyone at Deskthority, so that they can be more informed buyers.

I got this response from Unicomp today

Proof or gtfo. This pisses me off because I'm an actual developer and I didn't get one.

Honestly, any time someone posts 'good and cheap' in the title I say pick one or the other, not both. Good and inexpensive, maybe, but definitely not cheap.

Do we need a vendor subforum?

If we can get some vendors to join, sure.. I might ask Unicomp tomorrow.
I'd make that separate from Marketplace then
More like a support section.

I got around to asking them today, I spoke with Don Bowman and he said they'd take a look at our site and would more ...

I can only sum this up with this one image

I actually connected mine to my computer and used it for a while on Soarer's converter. Like any keyboard, one cannot accurately make a judgement until you use it. Using it for about four hours I still say my preferred order for IBM is:

Capacitive buckling spring
Membrane buckling spring
ALPS Plate ...

Where'd you get that? I'd be interested if not solely for the mod capabilities.

With all of the recent... "penetration" if you will, I finally bit the bullet and told iMav to pull the plug.

inb4 I can't believe you made a thread for this etc etc

Please don't start such obvious troll threads. Seeing as this thread has devolved into nothing more than a mere flame war, I believe it's lived longer than it needed to.

If you decide to sell one of those M2 keyboards.. I'm interested.

QFT, at least for any IBM fanatic.
