Okay, I'll byte :D

It's ISO alright, just as US ANSI is ISO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_9 ... rrangement

But when every keyboard layout is ISO, none will be.

Just a potato picture, but after a long trial and error I finished the bottom row mod of my Model F AT this morning. The xwhatsit controller is already installed, idk if it works, but I hope it does.

I'm leaning towards unicomp caps on this one. the AT should have one piece caps if they were original, should it not?

The way I usually tell is that original APL caps have "APL" on the front face of the backspace key, which they could do to a 1U backspace I would think. Also, anyone ever seen an ...

You have Z and Y swapped ;-). Swiss layout is QWERTZ not QWERTY. -_ and '? are also not in their original positions.

I've got an M122 with an ErEOF (front print Recrd) key and another German M122 with a Lösch Feld (front print Aufz) key in the same position. So Erase to End of Field makes a lot of sense.

From the Geekhack link, the buttons attach to where the 3 footswitches are connected internally. Looks like the left/right button pairs are mapped to one footswitch each, so you could add up to six buttons.

I feel sorry for you, i wouldn't have seen that too. I guess the only way to tell that it's a rubberdome is to google the number on it :( If it has an sdl cable you can make some money back, else I can tell you if you can reuse things, the knowledge about these rubberdome is probably limited here ...

Nothing concrete on the case yet. Though with the big left/right/top bezels, a F 4704 style case suggests itself. did get some Korean Corian clone off-cuts. The sheets are 12mm thick, which is on the thin side (4704 top and bottom halves seem to be 15mm each). Hmm. Also, I think I'll practice with ...

I'm going through the try-all-the-switches phase. So here's my grey HHKB2 with grey alphas and Topre accent keys and my kitchen counter.

I only added the left-hand enter key because you called it out in your post and that made me rethink my choice. Originally I had Caps Lock in its place (because I don't need three Control keys, not because I want Caps lock). I'm fairly convinced that Enter is a better choice, can be useful when the ...

For the base set, how do you feel about a 1.5u Fn key? I can imagine using a layout with Control on Caps Lock and Fn in the bottom left ("the other laptop layout," maybe this belongs in the "Mac" set).

Another custom 62% Model M build

I posted about this on the Compact Buckling Spring thread, but thought it was rude to hijack rsbseb’s thread, so I’m starting a separate topic here.

I’ve been using a Kinesis Advantage (brown MX) without thinking about keyboards for the last couple years until it had a beverage-related outage. So I ...
