Yeh those IBM boards were heading for 40 years old Ellipse. Your cases haven’t lasted a year.

Here is Issue #164 of kbd.news , with great DIY keyboard projects. Even more goodies (new shops, coupons, meetups) in my weekly editorial .

I received the B104 Round 2 sample by air mail last week and sent the factory some feedback. The new PCB was slightly misaligned so some keys were not working correctly and there were some small other issues so the factory will be working on remaking this sample and making
