I'm currently restoring my German IBM 5251 Beamspring board, sanding, ultrasonic cleaning, repainting, foam replacement, etc., the whole shabang was wondering how much I'm looking at value wise once it's done

Yeah, I updated the OP a week back, I've got some work related stress right now (50+ hours a week) so I can't really go anywhere with this until it blows off. My apologies

Alright, I got the plate in and lasergist did manufacture it in the correct dimensions, the aruz fit fine with a bit of leg room at the top and bottom, I'll build mine and fix issues on the plate and that should bring the actual GB quite a bit closer

Lasergist shipped the plate yesterday, still waiting for it to arrive.

On that note I may have a delay on my hand because I've fatfingered the dimensions on lasergist and emailed them twice about it with no response, now it's shipped and I can only hope they manufactured it with the correct ...

It supports ansi & iso, stepped caps, split bs, split rshift, standard bottom row, wkl bottom row and aek bottom row

EDIT: We might add support for a 'true' HHKB bottom row (6u spacebar) rather than the usual MX HHKB version, which uses a 7u spacebar

We're not taking orders as of now since we want to make sure everything is working correctly once the actual groupbuy starts, we're currently waiting on the aruz plate, after that we should be good to go

Little revival here, it's (sort of) back in action, check the posts for updates.

The current firmware is running through QMK and the SMK switches fit in cherry plates without a problem as long as they don't have the side cutouts for top removal.

Little bump since ISO support has been added which should be a big deal for some people

We don't have a fixed starting date for the GB, but expect it to go live in about 2 weeks, we'll notify everyone who left their username in the IC form once it does.

And yes, no ISO support for this run. Sorry!

Hey,

MeltyBurrito (aka Dr. Nu) made a 60% PCB for Aruz and SMK. I'm helping him with the IC and distribution.

The Bleach60 is an Aruz and SMK compatible 60% PCB, compatible with the most standard layouts and programmable via QMK. These PCBs will fit in all standard 60% cases. Along with this there ...

Apple IIc board, seems to use Apple Hairpin Spring switches, judging from the keys at the top

I'm expecting some ProWorld-like knockoffs, since the LED cutout is missing, so I'm hoping that there's gonna be info on whether or not these are going to be tactile/clicky

Are these clicky, tactile or linear?

Anyway I'd probably be interested in at least 80

I'd love an Aruz/SMK compatible board but I really can't get behind the layout, 40% keyboards are just absurd to me. It would be neat to have but I wouldn't use it :(

I'm kind of in the same boat, there might be a 60% plate/PCB in the future tho

and a custom space invader board would be lovely ...

Hey,

I'm helping evangs organize a (probably small) run of the MiniVan - this time supporting the Aruz switches as well as Monterey/SMK switches.

Since both these switches have an MX/Alps incompatible footprint it's rather hard to find support for them, so we put together a form to see if we can ...

Welp, I didn't think i'd get the Telekom board. Here's hoping the numpad works as standalone

How yellowed can a board get?

and why is it always the apple keyboards

Very nice, a shame that the 60% isn't offered with 70g springs, personally i'd love to see 100g or above at some point.

i don't know what bugs me more, the fact that Q and Ö are swapped or that he keeps adding micro usb ports to everything

That's definitely futaba, smk switches have a different housing

yeah, there's a good amount of small differences, but what bugs me is why both have the slanted corners on the PCB

Thanks seebart! Didn't know you were the owner of that one

There's some subtle differences between the SKB-5150C shell and this one, namely that yours has an XT/AT switch and the indicator light has Scroll Lock and Power ON rather than just Power On

Alright, I'm very excited to share this one, not only because it's something everyone got a little excited about, but because it's another one of Tai Hao's "special" boards.

Enough of the talk though, let's get to the board

First off, the good ol' front

I bought this on eBay last saturday and picked up all 3 of my recent buys today, although it's a rubberdome I was pleasantly surprised. It has a nice weight due to the metal back and is pretty solid overall.

Keyboard front view, it's just labeled as BOSS-1 Keyboard ...

Not Focus-y enough IMO, at least I don't recall any focus keyboards using a stepped capslock key

Hey, the total was 9.99€ for both keyboards and shipping!

I'm currently waiting on the supposedly ProWorld MX clone board as well as a couple of PCB mount cherry stabs

Anyway, here are a couple of the more rare things i bought
