did you sell the Leading Edge? Still says pending

Waiting for those pics!

PM, good sire.

Dear Mr. Gainsborough,

Quit offereing these georgous keyboards. Quick question: how does this one play with USB adapters? I've recently moved to a mini-ITX motherboard with no native PS2.

What a beautiful board. GL on the sale. I hope you get finances sorted out.

I'm looking... I'm looking. It's beautiful. Thinking...

how are you running the Chicony board? Adapter or PS2?

I've always wanted to own this board, but I want one that feels and looks very good and already have a board with very smooth greens.

Any further details about the board? Where did you get it? I know you said the switches feel pretty good but do you have other green alps to compare them to?

Does anyone know what type of switch this is?
Looks like ADI inductive.

I have a video coming out related to this soon, as it happens. Can I ask what keyboard you found it in?

Seems to be from a vintage computer ...

Does anyone know what type of switch this is?

Can't find much except a brochure from 1983 about this terminal board. I think it was more of a budget system so I'm assuming foam and foil?

Woohoo. It works great with Soarer's converter. Loving the switches. Thanks for the board.

Ha! Nice to see you here. I'm much more active on GH, but I figured I needed to show my face here if I wanted some good vintage board advice :)

Don't worry about the converter cost. We'll get this thing working! I love the big F keys. I'm going to have to program them to something useful so I can ...

I just have a small hunch it's an electrolytic capacitor giving up or disconnected. I'd say to check them, but of course, check the others too.


Will do. Can you help me understand the process? I mean, I can get my digital meter out and turn the knob around and poke at things, but I have no idea ...

Yeah, I always power off before I connect it

It's definitely plugged in internally, I double checked. Also, the LEDs do light up when the computer first powers on. So it's getting power. I have it plugged into the PS2 port natively, just adapting from standard DIN to mini-DIN. I guess I'll bite the bullet and get a soarer's converter to see if ...

So, here's the board. I got lucky with "making an offer"

The switches are very nice. But I can't seem to get it to work on my computer.

The board has ...

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the knowledge.

Anyone know about this particular model? I'm guessing it's Hitek switches of some sort, but I cannot find anything about it. Seems to be in very nice shape.

Have a nice Monday, all!

Thanks, dude. Paid my invoice. Can't wait to try them out.

still interested when you get time
