Great job bring this back to life! Hopefully you can use a converter and get some more functionality out of this POS terminal board. I've bought DIN to ps/2 and ps/2 to usb converters, all seems to be working fine. The trouble is the software I need to program it. You might want to pickup a teensy ...

Good video but box switches though....

FEM is heavy computing load that makes both the CPU and GPU stressed, as well as the ram and the hard drive, we know it, but for a 2500 euro laptop claimed to be "top gun" you won't for sure expect a shitty cooling system under the hood. unfortunately it's a problem with many new apple PCs. the new...

Could anyone indentify the switch in the photo? I do not have the keyboard, but I'm considering purchasing it. To me it looks like dome with a slider type, but I can't identify which it is.

Thanks!

Can confirm NMB dome with sliders.

I always see these popup on ebay would definitely be interested in the next round.

What keycaps did it come with? Thin or the nice thick doubleshots?

• Infobox fields (such as "price") are optional. If you leave one blank, it will not be displayed. • Protocol is already covered by the "interface" field in the infobox. • The template needs categories. In the previous thread last year, I offered to write the templates, but matt3o stopped me becaus...

On a side note I just got done putting red 40A-L o-rings in my Ducky One with MX Clears for work. It did quiet it down a little, but not by as much as I had expected. It also made the already somewhat mushy MX Clears feel even mushier to me. I really crave harsh mechanical clacks in my typing. Can'...

So if we are going to start to standardize keyboard posts on the Wiki I think that there needs to be as standard layout for a each single keyboard. Below is the code that I think should be a decent start. Please comment if you think that there should be something included in a standard layout/post. ...

sometimes it's amazing how wikipedia can run on such software

You and me both.

So I just came across this while trying to edit the pictures in the gallery section. If the gallery already exists then you don't have the ability in the visual editor to add additional pictures but rather only have the option to search for them. 2019-02-04 17_11_16-Editing ADDS ASCII - Deskthority ...

I love the non-green SKCL switches, they’re among the rarest Alps finds.
How does these creams compare to the greens? Heavier? Lighter?

Congrats!

I would have to say that they are on the heavier side of greens but not by much. Something around 5-10g heavier.

I got these to work with the wyse converter so you might want to give that a shot first if you haven't. Yep, you were exactly right. The Wyseverter worked perfectly. Here are some photos of the finished product: https://i.imgur.com/YKWSC7o.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ce78Jdy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UNx...

Look at the RT101 sections they are a mess and need to be consolidated. Personally, I think each model should have it's own page. https://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:Keyboards_with_NMB_switches Indeed those pages are a mess, but only someone who knows specifically about NMB keyboard models could ...

Wow. Incredible. I think I saw that board somewhere... Maybe it was ebay?

The caps are almost NCR like.

Ahh I found this one on Kijiji but maybe it was posted there as well?

Dude, what a score! SKCL creams and those beautiful Alps doubleshots?!

Yeah I was surprised that they were not as yellowed as the case to be honest. Also they are very nice.

So I came across this keyboard in the local classifieds recently and I noticed that I couldn't find any information about it. I knew that there was another one that sold on ebay a while ago from this thread. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=5700&start=14670 Epson Q103A (Sold): http://www...

I desoldered all of the switches on both boards. Whoa! Those switches are a nightmare to work with! I once bought one of these as a donor for switches and caps but it was so beautiful and nice that I couldn't bear to harm it. Yes these boards really test your desoldering skills but I think that the...

Hi All, A long time ago I bought a PC122 that was in great shape from Cindy and well it didn't work.... Well after some research and help from Engicoder, it was determined that the board needed a higher voltage(9v) and that it might not be speaking XT but rather a different form of XT. https://deskt...

Reorganized categories that have duplicated data/entries What do you mean exactly? There are some articles for keyboards and switches where multiple variations are listed in the same article, but each variation has a redirect page to that article. Here there would be some duplicity where both a red...

Blue Alps are not hard to find. They're just expensive. The Dell AT101 has come down in price SIGNIFICANTLY after the big inflation of two years ago as well. Blue Alps will also go down at some point, I think. That's what I love to hear! :D Brown Alps have recently dropped in price as well. Prices ...

As I am now adding a lot more to the Wiki here are some things that I came across: Standardized page layout for each board or version Reorganized categories that have duplicated data/entries Add converter section in standard page layout Add Todo section of information that is missing from pages

I decided to start working on some of the Impostor boards. In hindsight, I really should have called this one "The Wyse in Disguise". This particular one is Hitachi branded.

I promised @TheInverseKey that I would share some instructions to help him convert his 725 keyboard. I figured it makes sense to post here in case anyone else needs the details.

Thanks so much Snacks for posting this. I created an entry on the Wiki and will credit you for making the converter.

what switch ?

Sorry should have added this to the ad. The switches are NEC Blue Ovals.

Hi,

Looking to sell my NEC APC-H4120 as I don't seem to use it as much as I would like. It's in good condition and there is not much yellowing on it.

Switches: NEC Blue Ovals

Looking for $80 + shipping. SOLD



Thanks,

The only downside to Cherry Silent Reds, as I've discovered on a number of boards I have with them, is that by eliminating nearly all the bottom-out and upstroke noise, the shuff-shuff-shuff sound of slider friction suddenly becomes very apparent. I'm sure a lot of folks don't mind that sound, but ...
