3 interesting keyboards I totally have no idea what they are

Here is my educated guess:

Keytronic F&F
Alps tall cream
Vintage SMK/Maxiswitch

Tandy 3000

Or just buy 2 replacement switch modules from Orihalcon. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/IBM-BEAMSPRING-Key-Switch-COMPLETE-5251-3101-3278-3279-5120-Displaywriter/302464820514?hash=item466c4ee522:g:ZRoAAOSwsU5ZxwpL Wouldn't the replacement modules have the same or greater resistance as the ones he has in t...

Also does anyone know how to lighten a beamspring spacebar? The 5251 spacebar is twice as heavy as the one on my 3276. The most facile method is to remove the lefthand spring. The key technically does not need this spring to function as intended. A more pleasing and calculated solution would be to ...

The main difference between the Alps lube conversation and lubing the FLS is that the Alps switches are all discrete. FLS? The slider contacts the spring and that's directly on the PCB. I could see contaminating other leaves being a problem. I don't see this being a problem. The switch plates that ...

You can try the Dark Reader plugin.

FLS is overrated as fuck, almost all the boards have awful protocols that and terrible layouts so you have to map the matrix and use QMK, and on top of that the switches aren't even that good and have a weird force curve and weighting. Chyros praised them, hence the stupid prices lmao. I would pick...

If I was going to get a 2260, I think I'd want the airline reservation variant. (more buttons = better) IBM 2260 airline reservation.jpg I noticed the keycaps look engraved , not double shot. ( what the hell, man, what the hell??! ) And here's another shot of the predecessor. It's labelled 1050, bu...

Fujitsu Leaf Springs

Some Microswitch drop in replacement?

If you can remove a keycap you should try. It either has white switches or blue switches. In the latter case you've got something on your hands worth a few hundred bucks! is there a way to do this safely without a key puller? Check the box. It should come with a key puller. If it doesn't, it's not ...

Yes, of course.Please PM with details and pictures.

It's right here. Be prepared to pay at least $450 for it.

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on a keyboard auction that is commanding a high price. It looks like a NOS NCR k440. I couldn’t find anything in the Wiki or much online, other than it might be a Cherry switch based. It’s way out of my budget but I was curious why it’s seems to be s...

Is this industrial XT legit?

You have to make the key switch weighting uneven and have a terrible keyboard controller as well. That is quite possibly the worst keyboard I've ever had (the one you see on the wiki). Even if you forgive the messed up key weighting and keys getting stuck, you literally cannot touch type on it. Fast...

"Never Used" IBM 3275/3277 Beam Spring.

Incredible shine on spacebar. "Never used"

Might be a bit of a weird request, but can you please take and post a picture of the keycaps dead on from the top, like a straight up 90 degrees angle between the camera and the keycaps? I took some photos with my smartphone camera. I hope this will do. https://i.postimg.cc/cKC0gVPq/IMG-20201125-10...

I think you are going about it the wrong way. Even if they do not steal the keyboard, they can easily destroy it by "accidentally" spilling half a cup of coffee onto it. I would say the best way is to treat your coworkers well and not give them any reason to cause you harm or grief. If trust and the...
