Here we are with my son's rig: Keychron K2 HE, hall effect acquired on Kickstarter after getting 3D Amber.clear keycaps by Oshid : The First Mechanical Keycaps Set with 3D Legend. Orange theme.

Let's give cats their own keyboard.

Does anyone here actually have one of those keyboards in their collection? The photos in that link are too small to be useful, and I'm definitly not paying $300 + shipping from Japan for one of those just to take some measurements :(


Hi DMA, I got one of this in my collection, even though no ...

A very interesting discussion :)


truly an inspiring discussion. the suggestions proposed immediately reminded me of the Brother bucking springs, which have the same feeling as the IBM originals with a slightly more acute sound (pinging). for the rest they are modular and have a snap-fit system ...

Dear DT,


So this time I am not addressing you, Ellipse. I address all other DT members with my question:

Do you share my view ?
I mean are you fine with the way the forum has evolved by one single member ?
Are you find with a forum in which members take information, use the forum as their ...

Drawing inspiration from your great daring - Snuci, I took courage for converting my ANSI IBM M15 to ISO, Italian layout. Yes! Now I'm writing this post with a f* 'fine' Italian IBM model M15.
Sorry for necro this post, but I thought that it would be more useful to publish here my m15 porno pics ...

Hi modelf, what a shame that broken stabilizer. A quick solution, which don't involve the tearing apart of the whole assembly keyboard and the consequently stabilizer replacement, might be that suggested by me in this old post that call in a metallic washer.

Hi and congrats for your haul. 5 are quite a bunch of model Fs. Lately I found quite interesting and profitable converting an F122 with a firmware (tinkerboy credit) qmk/vial enabled that means key mapping on the fly without the need of uploading a new firmware every time you need to change ...

What a shame that's only partially ditto to the original triumph adler Dario (in the pic).

what about the PCB keycaps, quality, thockness?

Hi I$, thanks for your kindly support and encouragement. As you will have understood, having quoted the SMD Universal controller designer team, I'm using that controller sporting an Atmel MEGA32U4. So, since the beginning I oriented my choices for the compiling of the firmware toward one forced ...

Very happy to reading from to you again, i$. Your work has been of great inspiration to me and a very good hobby for the past months. My FEXT is outstanding and I like the clicking sound and tactility completely different from any other model Fs in my possession, and believe ...

F62 HHKB still going strong after over 4 years of heavy daily use. :ugeek:

I still need to buy one of your beamsprings, Ellipse.

Wow. It sounds strange that Webwit has something to ask Ellipse!! Out of curiosity , who has the broadest IBM keebs collection of you two?
looking @ https://www ...

Hi folks, here on sale an IBM model M4-1 ANSI rubber sleeves with cables in perfect aesthetic and working conditions. I put it on feebay, but I'll make a 20% off discount to DT members. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Great. I like it! you don't see many of them around. Let me know which keycaps do you need specifically. Maybe I could be of some help.
Cheers

I never had to do any of that when replacing my cable, i showed them a picture of the connector i needed and they had it in their warehouse, always worth asking if they have it first

Unfortunately, I do not think we have ...

Thanks for the advice. I emailed Unicomp to confirm they have the right cable available but they haven't responded, so I might need to give them a call.

For replacing the internal connector, how did you splice the original one onto the cable? (I am not sure what method I would use to connect the ...

Yes, follow w's advice. I myself replaced my black m13 frayed cable with the corresponding curly unicomp's one, flawlessly. Only side note is that you'll have to replace the cable plug from AMP to the original internal one but it's very easy since internal cable colouring scheme is the same, so the ...

What key switches use Lambos? after all.... even these are keypads, aren't they?

I have an extra e-ticket for the train from Amsterdam Central to den haag, available for everyone coming to ClackyCon with validity on Friday, April 5th. Please let me know if you need it. I will be happy to share it via email. See you there. Happy clicking.

Ps. Mu you are still in time....

Wow, your keyboard pratically TILTED!

My two cents is IBM RT 3200, as very well stated here

It seemed strange to me that this new topic could have gone unnoticed by your capital opinions. Why don't you come too, MU, making your presence real. I mean flesh and bones. "Pick up" this unique opportunity to write and view at the same time.

I was thinking of attending the Den Haag ClackyCon on April 6th, 2024. Will there be anyone else from the DT community? It could be an opportunity to meet and have a together. Just for sharing some talks about our hobby. Please let me know. Ciao

Thank you! That makes sense and is very helpful. Would I need to just remove the keycap of the O key when I remove the switch to adjust the spring, or will I need to remove all of them?


You'd need to slide off the whole 'module' key from behind, opening up the keyboard back plate, taking the ...

Assuming that I am by no means a beam spring key expert, the issue you described reminded me a similar problem I experienced on a key module present on my 3278. It seems related to a misalignment of the module key metal slats, as well described by Ellipse in this video clip , which with the service ...

Ok it seems to be the best GB this community has ever conceived. Subscriptions open?

Pm'd.

Wow, it's incredible how are they getting high with prices. Mine. Same manufacturing year, bar code label, square badge etc. Exactly 5 years ago was purchased on feebay for 174€, including shipping and custom fees from us to EU.
Anyone want to come forward with a proposal?

That's a typical case of lost in translation. I don't think any of you have never watched such a lovely movie whose title is "pacco, doppio pacco e contropaccotto" that should sound something like "Fraud ...
