From '83?

That was my guess at first too, but there doesn't seem to be a system as to where they are placed ... In fact I found about 3 golden ones scattered on the numpad keys and the only bronze one on the numpad 0. Before that I didn't really start looking for a pattern and in fact there seems to be none. ...

I have a question for all the Alps experts here: I recently purchased an Apple M0118 (SKCM Orange 8-)) with ISO-DE Layout and just finished disassembling the switches for the ultrasonic cleaning process. But there is one oddity I noticed ... there are actually at least three different spring variati...

When I press random keys I sometimes get a random input. For example if I press "/" on the Numpad I get "0" on ev...

Hello everyone, first post here. I thought I'd share my BTC keyboard I bought recently which was NIB. There is just one problem, though. I can't seem to get it to work with my DIN-5 to PS/2 adapter. Keypresses are not registering, even though the LOCK-keys + LEDs work just fine. Is it maybe an adapt...
