https://i.imgur.com/zMutHXj.jpg Thank you to everyone that came. I had a great time, saw some great keyboards, and I hope you did too! It was the biggest UK meet (so far!) with 163 checked in attendees. We gave out over 20 keycap sets, over 20 keyboards/kits (and one IOU for an AKB OGR), through bo...

Sold out! Hopefully see some of you there!

Tickets are back up for sale. Link in the top post

We've stopped selling new tickets for now in order to give everyone who purchased a ticket for the cancelled meet a chance to redeem their new ticket. Once we've done that we will make the remaining slot available, and I'll update here to let you guys know. Would be really great to get more DT peopl...

Damn they're on to us! It's just so randos don't just turn up without a ticket, something we've always done. We still check tickets, but it just makes it easier.

It's a really nice venue, in a very good location.

First post has been updated to reflect new date and to include information about purchase/redemption of tickets.

So, I’m sure you all realised, due to the lockdown etc. that this event was again postponed. Everyone with a ticket was informed via various channels but I thought I’d update this post to reflect it. Instead, again, we are having a virtual get together: https://discord.gg/ZS3b2N3m. We don’t have a h...

The keycap arrived today!

here is is next to my terrible stopgap:



and in place, perfectly matching



So happy to have this complete

Thanks again!

Thank you so much!

Very close to having a complete, restored, ANSI AEK II, just need an H key

Good news everyone! The venue has confirmed the meetup has been moved to the November 28th (the date which won the vote). If you have already bought a ticket – its valid for the new date. Please don’t refund your ticket unless you know now you can’t make this new date – if you find you can’t make it...

Important meetup news posted to the MKUK discord: These are unique and uncertain times. As I’m sure it has become apparent, the London meetup on the 28th March is not going ahead. We want to keep you all as safe as we can; and it would be irresponsible to hold the event in the current climate The re...

Update that was posted to our discord: Planning continues on what is set to be the keyboard event of the year but we thought we’d take this time to address some concerns. Obviously, we are acutely aware of the COVID-19 outbreak and its potential impact on the event. We have no intention of cancellin...

Mechanical Keyboards UK Meetup 6 - 10th September 2022 https://i.imgur.com/rV5R9bJm.png We have FINALLY re-arranged the long delayed MKUK meet (that was originally supposed to happen in March 2020) If you already have a ticket from when they were on sale way back in 2020, and you didn’t get it refu...

Status update! I have a locking caps lock and working N key. Replacing the locking lug kindly provided by swampangel was a bit trial and error but got there eventually. The "N" key I just opened up, gave a clean and replaced and it seems to be working fine now (It was double pressing sometimes, but ...

I'm planning on building a board (cyclopse PCB) that uses the AEKII ISO layout but I'm missing the keycaps.

Ideally I'd like to buy either an incomplete set or an old beaten up board with the caps as I don't like the idea of desecrating a board that's in really good condition.

I heard back from the seller they said:

I received it from someone overseas - I believe the case did not come from Apple.

Looking at it, and the finish, lack of blemishes, channels and size of it, I don't think it's SLA printed, or if it is it would have been a hell of a lot of work.

Have any of you seen this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283572577249 I can't find any info about it. I know that apple made some of their macintosh prototypes clear, but I haven't seen any keyboards like it, and I haven't seen any transparent original (128/512) Macintoshes using finished (or nearly fi...

Hi, I recently traded this M0110a for this M0110 . Unfortunately the M0110 has a few issues. One of the many previous owners has removed the lock switch locking mechanism (as per this post) and removed the 4P4C (RJ10?) port to make space for a teensy. Also one of the keys only works intermittently. ...

I really like that, It reminds me of my logitech k810 which I bought for £30 instead of getting a £100 crap type cover for my Surface Pro 2 and it was one of the best decisions I've made. If only this mechanical one was ISO!

UK keycaps is, AFAIK, the only reseller that has a working relationship with Devlin. They only have blank K-Series in stock currently, I am pretty sure the ones in your picture are Q-Series. Might be worth keeping on your radar in case they re-stock.

Thanks laser, I can see now that it clearly states that out on Hasu's thread!

I made an ADB to USB converter using an pro micro (5V version) for my ISO UK AEK II and it works really well. Thanks to everyone for their contributions to this thread, made the process simple and answered all my questions I had throughout the process of making it. I downloaded a hex file from the T...

How much do you think for these: Cherry G80-1192 HAG - In good condition with a working clicker/solenoid WYSE PCE - ISO UK fully restored, with an internal soarers converter and retrobrited (though some caps have regained a bit of their trademark inconsistent yellowing) IBM model M 1391401 - 1990-09...

Your perseverance paid off!! Great find.

Oh disregard part of this it does have a pinout, woo
