That is awesome! Thanks andrewjoy, i'd like to something a bit more elaborate for the next one, but I'm not sure what yet. I was thinking of getting a wooden case made for standard filco etc TKLs but do it as lots of layers of wood ( a bit like the acrylic cases.) End grain plywood can look quite g...

i have a cheap ps2-usb converter but that didnt worked either. if theres really difference i will try another. thank you.

is it an "active" converter?

Passive ones ( the little green or purple plugs that go on the end of the cable) wont work as they are just a passive pin adaptor .

Many modern PCs dont have real PS/2 ports, they are just on the USB bus. Try it through a known good PS/2 to USB converter. You need an active converter, search for " blue cube" PS/2 to USB or lindy also make some good ones. This is the famous "blue cube" many do not bother with it anymore as they u...

Hi, cool. I guess your coolant doesn't go straight from cpu to gpu, but to a secondary radiator first. You must have super high fps in fortnite :D That would make very little difference , its just simpler for routing the tube ( in this case anyway). As long as your res is feeding your pump it matte...

That is awesome!

As was stated above make sure your converter is an active one. This one looks to be a new design https://www.lindy.co.uk/cables-adapters-c1/i-o-c125/usb-to-ps-2-converter-cable-p11390 but i have used the older style lindy one and never had an issue, even with two high powered devices ( L-Trac and Mo...

Its a very good quality board, if you get relatively clean switches that is! Not quite as nice as an AEK1 but its still loverly. onrage > salmon when it comes to switches. Orange is to slamon what blue is to white. Think some AEK2s have cream alps , they can be good but get very nasty with dirt ( th...

Thanks! I'm going to get a multimeter and muck around with it. I'll probably ship it off, but a little measuring can't hurt. Make sure you get one with a good continuity buzzer (ideally a latching one altho that is usualy on the super expensive flukes etc), you will want to kill yourself if you hav...

I may have a kidtrack left let me check.

You look so young ! I had a dot matrix printer in about '90 it was slow as hell but quite nice for the time , colour too. Dont remeber the model , i think it had acorn branding on it and the style matched to A3010 . It looked a bit like an image writer 2 i think . Not exactly the same but a similar ...

If you send it to me i will retrobrite it and send it back in about 40 years or so

I dunno man, looks legit to me. From the centred text on down to the animated gifs. Thought that mid nineties aesthetic would float your boat!

They do.

But its the layout and the yellow and the centre aligned text

All websites should look like this

Northgate bob has been in the keyboard repair business for years, before the whole keyboard community got started.

However his web design skills could use work.

Ahh NP then.

I had one ( a case) and i was stupid and got rid of it. And now i have a NoS XT replacement internals and need a case for it, dont want to use my good XT .

So one of the companies said they'd do it for £40 and it should take 10 minutes when they "get a moment". The other one said I'd have to prep the plastic first, then I'd be looking at around £20-£30. Is the first one just hoping to take my money and do a quick coat of paint that won't last? Need so...

Where are the empty beer cans discarded crisp packets and mouldy mugs of tea ?

Or is that just me ?

Let me teach you about the joys of something called a "trash can".

Yeh but thats full!

I seem to have missed this thread, thanks to CeeSA for his comment which bumped it :D hmm i guess you could even remove any circuitry in the pedals then hook them to a pro micro then they could just be programmed like any other key switch That is a good idea.

First off if your going to try it yourself get good quality paint, there is nothing worse than you doing everything right and then having crappy paint not work. I have used this company in the past ( they had a different name tho) https://www.dcpaintsolutions.com/ I spoke to a guy named Darren there...

Some of the pictures are amazing , some of them tho , you wonder why someone can spend 100s if not 1000s on a keyboard have crappy 22 inch monitors worth 20 quid

I dont have any pictures of me with my A3010

I tired a USB footswitch, its fine and all but it floats around too much as its just cheap china junk.

That fully transparent G4 cube is dope! Gota love the G4 cube, some of the best engineering apple has done, pritty much ever!

In the depths of my mind i can see a image of a clear classic shaped Macintosh, so i think your right that it was a thing for apple in the past. Now that Mr Form over Function has left lets hope we get apple devices designed for humans to use again , and not just look pretty in photos. The new mac p...

I found that the Mac SE (1987) had been made in clear supposedly so that they could study the airflow inside the machine to see that the fan worked as it should. The engineers blew smoke inside and watched through the clear plastic where it went. When apple cared about cooling :D The picture above ...

My argument is why use wireless when cables will do! The wireless spectrum is already a mess of old standards and overlapping spectrum that mess with each other and you want to add MORE !!! ( just ask the weather station guys how happy they where when 5ghtz PTP wireless links came out and messed up ...

Do you still have that trinaton. Even after all the years ( it was even old in 2011) it still looks fantastic! 2003’s hardware. But I really did use it as my desktop then. We used them as lighting controllers in our galleries up until about 1 or 2 years ago, they never failed and where on 24/7. Back...

Modern games are all just generic boring slog fests designed to get money out of you after you already paid for the game.

Any chance you would be willing to sell just the caps from the macro pad ?
