Thanks guys. I got better potatoes: BTC-53 (foam and foil), Mitsumi KPQ (tactile dome), and Se Jin EAT 1010R2 (Futaba MA, reverse cross mount). It's gonna be a pass. Interested in checking them out, could have salvaged the BTC caps, but not worth two hours in the car. Not with gas at nearly $1.80/L....

Hello everyone. Can you help me ID these 3 Model M looking keyboards from this potato? Planning to go pick them up, but it's a bit of a drive. One ANSI, one ISO with windows keys, one Bigass enter. No badges visible. Classic colours and layout. Thank you. https://imgur.com/gallery/X4uaYbn

Like a model M but with a rectangular badge (missing) Please help me ID what looks to me like a Model M copy. Any idea of make, model or switch? Thanks Edit. Krytronic maybe? Looks like Keytronic E03600 rubber dome, but without windows keys. Anyone know the model or switch? EditEdit… wait, is this ...

That’s good news, I think.

I have a "Tactile Pro" (clicky) with their clickiest switches, and though I loved it when I first got it years ago, I do find it incredibly scratchy now. I will eventually try to linearize and lube these. I also had a "quiet click" keyboard (tactile) at work that I absolutely loved and I miss it. Th...

I've seen a few that have that on the numpad enter key
I assume they are in an environment where there additional abrasives present that cause additional wear to the keys

I've read that nail polish will do that. Or maybe it's just long nails?

I have 3 Matias boards and I really like them. I've had no trouble swapping the caps on my Tactile Pro with Tai-Hao, AEKii and Vintage Toshiba caps. Sorry to hear you've had bad luck.

Troy is Troy Fletcher?! He's the reason I ordered my first MiniVan. I go back to his videos all the time, especially this one explain why 40% https://youtu.be/AKGXZ1ReU54

And check out his buckling spring 40%!!!: https://youtu.be/XRFf-oLy6Vc

Troy, ya been doxed.

Correction T3100

Pretty sure my T3200 uses the same switches.

Here’s a little video of an Apple G5431 mouse made wireless. It’s only one button, but still pretty cool. https://youtu.be/Nioyj4QXn_g Also, I just watched a neat video from NFM, one of my favorite YouTube channels in Japan. It’s a quick walk through of a higher capacity rechargeable battery for his...

I just saw the black one today at a thrift store. Should I go back? Any luck with the teensy conversion?

What, no ApplePay?

All you would have to do is: - remove the keycaps shown in the pic - find keycaps with the correct ANS size that would optically fit the keyboard (that's probably the toughest part) - mod the keycaps as necessary so that they have one stem sitting on each of the existing switches - for the caps wit...

Hello fellow DTs. Would like some help identifying this keyboard. It's one of many that I acquired in a recent "barn find" along with some WYSE 50s and Model Ms. It's branded HEXATEK, which seems to be a local IT company, and the PCB is marked Cherry 122. Thick AT cable. The switches appear to be vi...

I daresay you've improved on the original with the symmetrical mod. And those cherry red LEDs!

Very nice!

Update: going to pick up this beast later today. Hoping to convert the keyboard with a Teensy, or maybe Soarers converter (doubt it will be that simple). Also need to build a case for it. I’ll post some links to others who have undertaken work on these.

I have the information I need now (added to the wiki already).

Great build vid. I built mine from an Irish board and the same case, albeit with less care and expertise. Mine would benefit from a proper cleaning as you demonstrated. Did you lube the sliders? Also, where did you get the plate and insulating strip that you adhered to the case?

I really like this. Would like to try something similar.

Thanks Hasu. It's all good now. Loving it!

Update: I've managed to install dfu-programmer though brew hub. But I can't get my keyboard to flash. Granted, I really don't know what I'm doing and my Terminal learning curve is vertical. Here is what I'm stuck on: No LED illuminated on pcb when pushing tiny button. (It lit up once.) atmega32u2 er...

Just built my first keyboard. Soldering and caps done. Still needs a case, not low profile I hope. DONT KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM IT. HHHHEEELLLLPPP!!! Want a layer for Fkeys, numpad, arrows etc. Ongoing build log here. https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/alps64-from-french-canadian-iso-aekii-t19138.html ...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to put together an AEK64 using Hasu's pcb and AEK (US layout) plate. I've harvested cream dampened switches and keycaps from a French Canadian ISO AEKii, but I haven't found a satisfactory solution to making everything fit. I don't like ISO layout, especially the short right ...

Any bells?

Thanks. I'll have to find something similar locally as two of them don't ship to Canada, and the import and shipping for the other triples the price.
