Re: Unidentified POS keyboard restoration and retrobrighting
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 ...

Re: my opinion on Apple Wireless keyboard
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...

Re: Not Sure I'm Happy with Cherry MX...
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'...

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.

Re: NMB PC122 Converter Saga
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...

Re: What's up with Alp SKCM Blue being so hard to find?
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 ...

Re: Switches with quiet upstroke ?
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 ...
