Re: IBM Industrial SSK - P/N 41G3600

If I remeber correctly, Webwit (black duck) had two Industrial SSK and was hording it like the crown jewels.

I have two NIB (broken rivets et al) SSKs hidden somewhere in some drawer where I can't find them....tried to find a NIB/NOS Industrial SSK but sadly no luck for me.

Lucky you.

Re: Alienware Laptop Rubber Domes.

Just dropping in a new Alienware keyboard is not so simple. The laptop has to be nearly fully disassembled in order to remove the screws that's holding the keyboard, I didn't actually count but it's about 60 screws from a total of 94. I see no point in replacement with a new keyboard only to have to...

Ten years ago, if someone said I'd modded a rubber dome KBD, I'd called them a liar and spat in their eyes......but last week, that's exactly what I'd done, modded a rubber dome, not spat at someone. Two keys on an Alienware laptop felt unusual, now and then stuck. After prying off the caps for insp...

I always remember you having two Industrial Model M SS kbds, IIRC you sold one of them.

There are many ways to remove glue, it all depends on what type of glue. If you accidentally make a scratch, use 3000 grit emery paper on that rectangular patch.

The MS Wireless Optical 2000 fitted my large paws comfortably.
On hindsight, the disk receiver is a better option than a USB stick receiver as the stick protrudes out further on the Laptop. A nano receiver would be perfect since in all my Years, Bluetooth just doesn't seem to like monkeys.
