New post [Group buys] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
I don't know which batch you ordered and whether you ordered the compact or classic style case (both are powdercoated in the latest batch) but the latest batch's (Jan. 2022) updated coating was reformulated and should better resist wear. So far I believe the reports are noting keyboards from earlier

Feel free to use them =) As I said, I'm stupid when it comes to stuff like this. And no problem about the stabilisers, I just printed new ones.

New post [Keyboards] How to use Hasu's PS2 TMK on PS/2 with a pro micro?
I'm thinking you can use an inductor to prevent the bootup power surge from tripping the boot process on the pro micro.
I need to convert an IBM 5576 Keyboard with these pro micros for the IBM protocol, so it seems like there is no V1 variant in any of this.

New post [Gallery] Representing IBM at a meetup
Yes to both questions. It's fairly straightforward as it's an AT-compatible device but with a specific PS/2 plug pinout - the mouse's passthrough pins are in the usual positions with the keyboard's clock and data through the two typically unused pins. I think IBM did this because they assumed the host
