Hello everyone, i create my first pcb with "flex" xD, plz 1/10 (pcb for alps "aek one layout")

If you're going to use the Apple caps for this, don't forget to rotate the F row switches

Sorry to ruin your discovery there @hellothere and @ntv242ver2, but that's just a cover Alps used for the very tall Apple keycaps. They clip in to a standard Alps switch, in this case an SKCM Orange. Still, though, it's a rather uncommon piece to find, so it's a neat find nonetheless. :) So, if you...

Well, that's a Cherry keyboard. A Schneider MF2 Cherry keyboard. I think the code should be something like G81-3090 HAQ. Very nice find!

what layout is the keyboard in for the keys on the right?

You can set it to whatever you want -- a Nav cluster, a small numpad, a bank of F keys, all your choice

The original F77 had it for macros, they have some relegendable caps there.

Bump, items added

Are you looking for one in a particular language or one with a particular sublegend? I have one here in French Canadian if you're interested.

Oh yeah, I heard about those! Congrats on getting it!

What a looker of a board. I'd love more pictures of it.

PMing

mmmm, very nice! I'm certainly interested in one of your Zeniths, if it has the caps I'm looking for.

But overall, great haul! Congrats!

I have a Commodore Board (G80-499) with some West German vintage blacks. I can clean them with an ultrasonic cleaner, and ship them disassembled and ready to lube. I could try lubing them, but I don't think I have the right lube right now. If you don't want to keep the rest, I'm certainly intereste...

Bought from another forum member. Let's see. That's a 10u spacebar and a 3u = key on the numpad. Cool.

I regret to inform you that this is not the 10u spacebar. It's 9u.

That's it, really; nice board

Are those really alps?

Should be the General Electric SKCC, yeah. Something like that.

For cream fans I would like to share this video of my favorite keyboard hacker. https://youtu.be/8-slWdMji8Y

Wrong Cream... if it's actually Cream and not Ivory/Cream Damped, then that's some heresy putting White click leaves in.

I've got some Salmon Alps here that I believe are in very good condition. I'll PM you the details.

Does anybody know of a standard extended keyboard layout which has Alps doubleshots? I have a couple boards which have Alps double shot boards (Leading Edge DC-2014 and the keyboard unit from a Toshiba T1600) and I really like them but I'd like to have a full-sized, preferably ANSI, board with them...

Also looks like this dell 103 is using doubleshots made by alps, maybe there is also ansi version with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULd95hM_JZQ Here's the description, Google translated to English: DELL's ALPS Black switch adopted 106 Japanese mechanical keyboard "AT103 (47444)". Although ...

The actual 5556-001 has PF labels, just a note:

The fix shouldn't be too hard -- the switches are Cherry MY and I believe they aren't the worst to repair... you'll need some glue though, I think? (I'm not sure if the switches were riveted in or clipped in). As for the parts -- the switches will be easy as people usually just throw away Cherry MY ...

Awesome pics and an awesome keyboard, thanks for sharing. Can you use it on a modern computer as is, or did you need to convert it? You do need a converter, yes. I've heard it uses Set 3 with a weird pinout, but I'm not entirely sure. The board acts weird with break codes though, so it wouldn't hav...

It was a pain for me to find a good quality photo for one of these, so I figure I should take some. ;) I didn't take any pictures of the bottom of the case mainly because the case isn't original and is from the Chinese dyesub variant, but anyways... Enjoy! :D https://i.imgur.com/JFMyctj.jpg https://...

I would LOVE to get my hands on those manuals!

Great find! Wow, the FMR board looks to be in pristine order! What do you think of them?

I'm mainly looking for the click leaves in KPT switches, the ones that look similar to Alps ones but are a bit smaller. No, not Mantis foot. I'm mainly looking to get them from those who just have them laying around from boards with the caps looted as I'm not going to pay much for these. Just shippi...

Took delivery of an ISO (qwertz) SGI granite today and it surprised me by having a switch I've never seen before. Bamboo cream damped. The sliders are kinda greasy like pine cream damped, and honestly the board feels pretty nice despite being dirty, very similar if not a bit better than my SKCM pin...

The Thai legends are not that worn. It's just my bad photography skills :lol: Here is a better picture hope that better shows the Thai sublegends.
