Only ebay kids will get this one

Spoiler:

Thanks,

I know that you find that thumb trackball mice are not that accurate but I want to counter that statement with the new Logitech MX Ergo . This is a daily driver at work and use it for very fine micro movements. I did have to replace the standard ball that came with the mouse for a Perixx Peripro-303...

I have a full set of ISO DEC style. I don't know what set you are trying to match originally because not all caps were made using the same colourway. If you can post a picture of the caps that you currently have I can see what I have that matches.

The Televideo 955 is really clean (actually all the boards you posted look nice)! If it was the 1-eyed space invaders, I'd ask you to keep it (someone recently reached out to me looking for those switches). I had a chuckle seeing this on ebay BIN for $199 https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TELEVIDEO-...

Currently have a NCD-108LK keyboard for sale details below: This keyboard has been tested and it's working. Note : This keyboard uses XT over PS2 cable. Will need remapping see my thread here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22258 Price: 50USD +shipping Shipping from: Canada Shipping to:...

Great story lol! This is really a nice board and looks great restored. Can we get a sound clip or video of typing on this bad boi?

I use mine as part of a standing desk setup. Fits a RollerMouse with room to spare, and is pretty comfortable at the right height :) https://i.imgur.com/gb1svLY.jpg Nice! I use mine as an extra keyboard when I have to turn my desk into a workbench I will post pictures later. I really should try thi...

Hi All, Here is some background information about this keyboard: This keyboard was designed to be mounted in a server cabinet along with the server that it has the ability to be plugged into. The keyboard is fully steel including the mounting plate that holds the switches making this thing weigh a l...

Hi All, Back with another NCD find. This time it's a N-108LK in a DEC Style layout. This keyboard uses HI-Tek 725 Series Linear White 2 Eye switches. Just like the other the other NCD keyboard this one is NOS(New Old Stock). Additionally, this keyboard uses white clicky switches that are now linear ...

Great find! This one really is a looker!

While I think this is decent for some people it doesn't cover a lot. There is a lot of boards out there that use other terminal protocols and then you have to fall back to a simple logic analyzer. The other protocols beside AT/XT is where the community needs help and there is not enough people/time ...

Regular AT101 (non W) would be amazing addition as well.

I would guess it is a Oemmax MCK-860

I have an OEMMAX MCK-860 and this does look like one as well but I have never seen it with the RJ10 connector.

EDIT: Also looks like there is a din connector that comes out of the case which is interesting.

I think some manufacturers use a Taiwanese era-date. Year 80 is ~1991.

This is correct, a lot of keyboards are made in Taiwan and WYSE was one of them.

Aah too bad. It was worth a shot, anyways.

So the keys are desireable? Any particular reason? I might as well learn something.

They can be most I have seen typewriter mx mount caps go for is $60 USD

Hi All, I finally got around looking more into this keyboard and making the converter integrated into the keyboard. https://i.imgur.com/HvlfnIG.jpg So this keyboard has the option to run either in AT mode or polling mode. Polling mode I'm guessing is the ADDS protocol and I will have to dive into th...

Thanks, guys. :) I shall try the DecentKeyboards guy (also recommend by... Mu, I think?) once I've actually specified what I want, which may take me a little while! And that's quite an interesting keyboard you have there, Inverse. May I ask what it is? I suppose nowadays LK200-type keyboards are re...

Yes they are a thing. Strangely enough though the only ones that I have found are handmade.

You might want to try to replicate these, they are carved into the plastic somehow drilled maybe and then infilled with ink/paint.

Geek in Calendars reminds of this:

Anyone in the US that hasn't gotten theirs yet either? I paid the extra for tracking but once mine arrived in the US, I've been unable to track it. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid and/or impatient, but I'm starting to get a little worried. I got mine in Canada and they were not tracked when they ...

These switches are an early attempt in solving the problem with Gundams and how loose the caps feel on them. The new grey switches had a line of plastic in the grove that holds the caps so that they now fit more snugly. I love little tidbits like this. Where did you find info about these switches? ...

I have a similar keyboard with all gray cyclops and a white heavy switch for the spacebar. Looks exactly like yours but is branded "MS" and the case is yellowed as fuck. They are ultra smooth, like Cherry vintage blacks with with a heavier bump. Can you please post pictures of them so that they can...

Hi All, Back again with anther NMB adventure. This one includes the tale of the unknown switches..... After a long time I was looking for a NMB board with Gundams(soap dispenser) switches; these are the earliest switches that are known to exist with in the NMB 725 series of switches. They come in ei...

I saw an update to the "Cruciformer" GB/IC that said it supports Nexus sliders. Have these also been found to crack keycaps? I was confused when I read it but cant find much info.

Nexus slides can crack keycaps because they were based on box stem dimensions.

Thanks for the video, personally they loose the crisp click sound and I bet feel as well. That's a hard no from me.

https://i.imgur.com/csUeggK.jpg Linjars, going into a build soon 👀 Linjära :P Seems like a modern super linear according to video reviews: - so little wobble like filmed retooled blacks - so smooth every unlubed more than the retooled blacks - sounds like the Cherry blacks with these housings Looki...

Hi,

Just managed to get this TA QWERTY typewriter and wondering what's it worth?

caps.png

sold that same exact set about a year ago for $60. depending on how much shine there is/condition they may be worth more. or less.

Thanks

I'm interested for sure. Looking at 250 switches for me as well.

Hi,

Looking for 8 return springs for a beamspring that is near the end of restoration.

Thanks,
