With permission here is a nice comment and setup photo from a new Model F FSSK user who requested to go by "Jason in New Zealand":

Has anybody do M-Star Controller but the classic not mini version? I think BOM is wrong about capacitors values.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy two vintage Cherry keyboards:
1. Cherry G80-1000 (any variant, working preferred)
2. Cherry G81-3007 (any variant, working preferred)
My requirements:
- Good condition, no major cracks or broken parts
- Working switches/electronics are a big plus
- Pictures of the actual

The truth is, if you're obsessed by keyboards, you are obsessed with tactility of one kind or another- the way things you regularly use feel or sound. You'll always be interesting in trying out something that feels interesting or different for one reason or another.

Hi Sinnerman,
I’ve been following your collection thread for a while, and I just had to comment — your keyboards are incredible! I’m especially blown away by your G80-1000, it’s in such amazing condition.

What does the OMNI key on the ULTRA "F" model do in Windows?
I've made a replacement PCB for the gen 2 OmniKey's that replaces the existing controller PCB, which is a separate PCB from the key matrix on the gen 2 boards, and supports USB-C and runs QMK/VIA. I'm trying to replicate how the

JP, where do you hang out now then?

Be careful, my friend. Just my 122-key M-platform keyboards number in the double digits. That doesn't include other M-platform keyboards, or Model Fs. BS keyboards can become an obsession.

I got a Focus FK-555, but it has printed keycaps with faded legends.
I am hoping to find some doubleshots for this board. German QWERTZ. Possible donors are probably Focus FK-2001 with Focus layout or another FK-555 with Omron switches.
I know this is very unlikely, but if you have one of these boards,

I have the Alphas, Modifiers, grey spacebars, and 40s of the SA Symbolics 2.0.
How much are they worth now? Bought during the gb, great condition.

Wire up the switch under it to a keyboard switch.

Hi hi...Responding to this just in case you're able to get an email notification. I have a Zenith ZKB-2r and interested to trade for this

Responding to this just in case you're able to get an email notification. I'm interested in this kit if you're still selling

I have a fully functional Atari 800XL AWC keyboard with open-top Cherry M8 switches, except that inexplicably one keyswitch is missing its spring. Anyone have one lying around- or a complete Cherry M8 open-top keyswitch?
