I had the same issue as well with mine something is off with the clock for sure.

Hi All,

Looking for Alps clones that are similar to KPT clicky switches. Pm if you have something similar.

Thanks,

This might be in the right direction but the G4mer keycaps is something that would keep me away from buying this. Looks like they are trying but we shall see what the future of keyboards holds for Cherry.

To quote your IIc listing "The keyboard unit was malfunctioning and has been repaired with new parts." Did you forget the rest of the quote? I can provide it for you here, it went a little something like this: "For any inquiries, please message me with questions." Buyers shouldn't have to go out of...

When you buy a vintage computer on the internet buyers expect to get the original machine with all original parts. If you are modifying the machine from it's original condition then you should go into full detail of what you replaced so that the buyer know the true condition of the machine. I agree ...

Changed URL to get bigger image . BTW. The image looks like it was shrunk slightly on the horizontal. The keys are not perfectly square. There are some switches used for typewriters where you can pull a key and not put it back on again without having to first disassemble the typewriter. (That was n...

My problem is your cynical spamming of the forum. All your frantic thread bumping is like a jackhammer! You’re getting on everyone’s tits! Slow your roll, fella. Yeah my intention was cynical. You’re right. :roll: I wouldn't call it cynical you are right but more along the lines of idiotic...

Ohh boy! If I don't have to use finishline ever again I will be so down to make this a thing.

Such a unique sound, I am in love...where do I find these switches? lol

Uhh recycling centers and friends really, I have only seen 3 boards in the last few years.

Finally got around to making a typing test.

I am guessing that the seller has replaced the switches, as those NEC boards were made before ALPS introduced the white slider. Looking at the PCB i can tell for sure that the switches haven't been desoldered. %90 of Blues came with a grey switch plate, and the Whites only white switch plate. Have ...

The thing is that is I can easily make them feel nice and tactile but I don't know if it's the "correct" tactility. Unless I can have access to a NOS tactile leaf (wondering if it's worth it or if Alps tactiles had this poor tactility out of the box) I don't quite understand your confusion about ta...

Great final build and aesthetic! The only thing out of place to me is the spacebar, i'd opt for a more navy blue color bar to fit the rest of your theme better. Do those switches feel like alps? If so, which type? I would guess SKCM black but I'm shooting in the dark here. I think the sb looks cool...

Cool, I love unique stuff like this. It's obscure but it has the added bonus of the most popular keycap mount style. IMO the GMK modifiers you used look quite nice with the dye subs. I'd probably go for a different space bar since that color kind of comes out of the blue at you but that's my taste....

Bro, this is such an interesting and unique switch that I've never heard of (but always wished existed). I would love to see a typing demo. I hope Chyros gets a chance to review these one day. Thanks for sharing! I wish that I could ship the board to him but the amount of money that it would cost t...

Hi All, After a year of searching I finally have created the board with one of weirdest switches that has been found the ProWorld switch. ProWorld switches are a unique switch that mixes MX switches and Alps together. https://i.imgur.com/dwWuiKU.jpg https://deskthority.net/wiki/images/thumb/4/41/Pro...

Thanks for posting the back of the PCB from this keyboard.

I believe this keyboard is similar to the other keyboard clones of TH-5160.

Is that flux on the board as it seems very shiny?

Very nice-looking board! Never seen a badge like that on a 5182 =o .

I'm guessing that this was the alternative to the NMB RT-101 that shares the same badge.

Since Soarer's converter didn't work for a lot of the special keys, I changed the TMK software a bit to convert the NCR 4950 on a Teensy 2.0: https://github.com/davidkleymann/tmk_keyboard You might have to adjust the Keymap and the code is still a bit buggy though. Sweet thanks for putting more eff...

I noticed that you are using an image as your background and I have to say that this is not the greatest on the eyes. My suggestion is to make it more of a neutral colour so that people can see the products properly.

Hi,

This keyboard is listed under the following location on the wiki: wiki/Hi-Tek_Series_725_second_generation

This is a second gen AT layout keyboard and they are quite common but nice find none the less.

It depends on what you are looking for via reviews. I think that there is enough reviews out there but most of them will be the same since a lot of keyboards share the same switches. I don't know if this is really that practical in the long run but it's a decent idea. I was thinking something along...

Not sure how hard this would be to implement, but I think it would be nice to have a "reviews" tab on the different keyboard pages. Something along the lines of what the Pentax forums does for their lens database. This way there is an organized area for more subjective thoughts on specific keyboard...

I talked to a couple people on Discord that tried the Silo beam switch prototypes. They reported it feels a bit more like click bar and quite a bit different vs the IBM design. I guess that makes sense when you shrink everything down so much. Lets hope they improve the final version before launch. ...

This thread originates from the following thread: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=459331#p459331 where my AT&T 56k 460 was banned from work for being too loud by multiple co-workers Personally, I don't care too much as I like linear boards as well and they are office friendly. I think just t...

Totally forgot about this board as this board was banned from work. Great board though and the switches are something very different for sure.

Given that Tai-Hao has double-shot Alps molds they are using for their ABS keycaps, why couldn't they make double-shot PBT caps with those? Are the molds non-interchangeable for different plastics? Speaking personally, any OEM PBT Alps keycaps that include a modern bottom row would be a win. It's a...

It doesn't matter that it's not in the wiki. I have a lot of switches that are not on the wiki yet doesn't mean that they are worth a lot. I have these switches as well doesn't mean that they are worth what you are asking. A couple days ago I personally asked you what you think they are worth and y...
