Since I never had the chance to try the space invaders, I'd say the Unknown best fits the description
Also, being able to simply connect it to a PS2 port is a huge benefit as I have no idea how to convert the other ones.

Calling dibs on Cherry doubleshot keycaps. PM'd and reached agreement few days ago, waiting on snacksthecat to send payment details. And remove the item from the table above

Wow! This is amazing.
Two people typing on the same keyboard simultaneously! And such coordination.

I finally opened my present :-D https://i.imgur.com/DHQdAxp.jpg It's an Alps starter pack and it made me very happy. Most of the keyboards I had the chance to try were either Cherry or Buckling spring, so Alps switches are very welcome. To make it even better and noob friendly, they are already modi...

Feel free to open whenever, whether it's today or next year. I know I sure wouldn't want to wait. https://deskthority.net/off-topic-f10/deskthority-secret-santa-2017-photo-thread-t17906.html No, no. I'll wait at least until the week before Christmas. I'm too busy at work right now to properly enjoy...

Or an OLKB plank

I meant huge. As in lots of planks fused together.
Or it could be a cutting board and a set of knives.
Ah, the suspense is killing me

Mine arrived yesterday. Can't wait to open it. Judging by the rectangular shape, it's a huge bar of chocolate

It works even better with headphones, I found out. You can crank the volume up and still be able to see when someone is calling you because keyboard lights will act up

Sure. I think I got assigned to only one Secret Santa this year by mistake. Ask Compgeke to add you to the list

It's similar but not the same thing. Chyros never reviewed the XMIT Hall effect board but he did film a review of a board very similar to XMIT round 1. That keyboard was produced by the same Chinese company that XMIT used to outsource production, so in effect, it's a XMIT round 1 keyboard without al...

One of a kind M-122. End game conversion already included. Price is currently low considering the value for the real connoisseurs, but it's guaranteed to go sky high. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-IBM-Model-M-1395660-122-Key-Mechanical-Terminal-Keyboard-Clicky-1985/202063626905?_trkparms=aid%3D2220...

Hi,
is there anyone from Paris willing to do a local pickup (not a keyboard but a small Hi-Fi amplifier) and help with sending the stuff to Croatia? I will, of course, send the money in advance so you don't have to risk anything buying the thing.

Count me in

AEG Olympia ES 72
MX white (or clear) switches.

Btw. guys, do chime on on this. I bet most of you pulled few keys off at least one typewriter. Did you find anything interesting? Were you disappointed? Share the knowledge.

After much talk and ebay listing spamming on DT Telegram channel ( https://t.me/deskthority ), we decided it would be very useful to pool all the little bits of knowledge from everyone's heads into a single thread, later to be transferred to a wiki page. The idea is to have a single resource listing...

Great idea!
Can you post some more pics/references because I have no idea what some of the vote options mean

The question is, what are we trying to achieve? I think a database is an excellent idea. Our current wiki is a great resource, but sometimes one just can't find the exact model since an entry doesn't exist or is buried somewhere in the old threads. Here is what I would consider a great finished thi...

Hi, I just stumbled upon an interesting vintage mouse. The post is in Croatian, but it doesn't give any details anyway. If anyone is interested, I can act as a proxy. The asking price is 50 HRK (6.75 EUR) + a small postage amount (2 EUR ?) + whatever postage is needed to get it to your place. http:/...

Oh really?
Didn't really read beyond first few lines.
Anyway, bumped!

Mr.Nobody, is that you? How many account do you have?

My rabbit kit just arrived. Such beautiful things, much nicer than the OP photo would have you believe. They could practically be used out of the box. Pictures and comments to follow...

@Wodan
Thank you again for such a nice gesture.

Too bad the Knight keyboard didn't make it into the top 100. I guess I'll have to vote for little Space Cadet, then.

This sale is one wicked idea. I am currently hanging from the top of the rabbit hole, barely finding strength not to let go, and you propose to clobber me on the head not with one, but with three perfectly lethal boards. I have grown up knowing that old IBM keyboards are the thing. Later I learned t...

Ok, after realising that the rules of contest require others to actually like my selection, and seeing how I have zero experience (owing to the fact that I still own zero mechanical keyboards), I am forced to shamelessly steal from other peoples posts, thus securing at least a diminished chance of g...

Hi, I have another noob question. Is it possible to make the Soarer's converter out of Arduino? I noticed that everyone is opting for Teensy but I was offered an Arduino Due as a gift and was wondering if I can make Soarer's out of it. I recently found two XT keyboards and would like to use at least...

Hi, Deskthorians. Does anyone have an idea what the keyboard in this old thing could be? It's an old Philips P2000C portable computer that I have a chance of buying. However, I do not have the space for it and would mostly be interested in the keyboard, if it could be of any use in more modern syste...
