edbods these boards do not have large QC issues, despite what the same few folks like to repeat and show the same photos again and again over the past several years. Several people posting mostly about paint from boards made 5 years ago does not indicate widespread issues. With 7,000+ boards ...

Lol no surprise there, such is many things in life unfortunately. But until someone comes up with an alternative...doubt things will change.


All you have to do is search for ‘issue’ or ‘problem’ in these threads to get the real truth.


Yeah I did read up about all the issues around QC and all ...

Interesting that his one came pre-assembled...I had to put mine together lol. Still though, I'm happy with mine, especially after figuring out exactly why my space bar kept binding (had to push the right stabliser bar bracket further back so the stab bar could actually get some horizontal movement).

I think I spoke too soon, seems like when resuming from sleep the keyboard seems to miss some keys despite updating to the latest firmware...doesn't happen consistently though, very strange. it's acting exactly like a wireless keyboard that's low on batteries.

Honestly I'd say just blowing it out with an air gun would suffice. The gaps above and below the main key groups/areas are big enough for dust to get out when blasted with an air gun. The drawback to doing this is that it might get dust on the underside of the barrel plate, and you'd need to take ...

Wowee. Just an FYI for anyone else with an F122. The case and barrel plate screws (the ones that have a hex-head) use 6-32 threads (guessing it's UNC as the thread pitch is larger than an M3 coarse thread screw). Replaced the upper two that have a nut acting as a spacer because I felt that those ...

Looking for a 20x20mm decal/sticker for the decal slot in the IBM model F keyboard. There's a guy on Etsy that sells one, but his one is a 25x25mm one incorrectly sold as a 20x20mm one.

Nice. Still eager for that PS/2 daughterboard though.
