Yeh I call bullshit on 60wpm on that. I would say it would be possible if you had two of them , one for each hand.

I think the design process should have happened when the Model F AT had been designed. With only a few minor tweaks, it could have been better and the the Model M layout would not have been necessary. modelf.jpg I quite like your layout however that caps lock needs to go away and be replaced with c...

Could you please provide more info on the problem.

The name and model of the device
The OS of your computer

We need reproduction sun caps for cherry / alps and so on.

Thank thing just looks amazing!

I also face the intractable problem of the rusty springs, no helpful solution after searching whole forum.

Tried vinegar and WD40 also, still like shit.

If you have good idea finally, really really appreciate it.

Try Evapo-Rust

Just an idea , how about 2FA ?

[I did not know filco made piles of translucent vomit :P normaly they make classy shit , like my majestouch 2 or my zero( that is filled with green alps now :) ) :D Filco can swim with the best of them, in any cesspit. This was an attempted but very conservative copy of the early iMac phase when Jo...

What a fantastic job! Good show old chap. There looks to be some issues / corrosion under the solder mask, you think there is anything that can be done about that ? There is not much... nothing you can do about corrosion under the soldermask. It's due to delamination humidity age moisture etc. The ...

I would at this point just cancel the order and get your money back before your paypal protection runs out.

Could it also be that the dummy switch plate that acts as the tactile element adds more stability to the slider ( as its physicaly more substantial ) making the switch feel better as there is less movement in the slider so its more consistent and therefore smoother?

Found this just now on Flebay; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Filco-FKB-Skeleton-Vintage-PS-2-Japanese-Keyboard/123605471595?hash=item1cc775d16b:g:JssAAOSwNqRcRdDz Unique looking Filco, with some kind of bamboo-like Alps switches. Interesting find. I did not know filco made piles of translucent vomit :P ...

Browns have a totally different tactile element than any other alps. Its not just a bent metal leaf , it has a plastic part that a piece of metal fits over https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCM_Brown They are not very common. Cannot say how they feel as never used them, but they apparently they fee...

Indy model Ms with a square badge are quite rare indeed. You lucky little monkey you !

What a fantastic job! Good show old chap.

You can get USB break outs that have the male connector on them

But they are quite bulky.

I don't care what its being used for i would expect my 2000 USD machine to not throttle when a 400 USD laptop works fine .

How about aluminium tape ?

THe surface may be protected with something but you can just rub it off with a scotchbrite

You think they would let me trade that black SDL cable for a modern crappy one ?

You try with a XT/AT converter or with the terminal one ?

Old and vintage blacks are the black sheep of the MX world..... they are good, very good in fact if cleaned lubed and treated well.

Many keyboard enthusiasts started out with Filco, years ago, but there are many good alternatives these days. I would get a Leopold or a Ducky. Anything costar like , with decent build quality is good :) I prefer filco but if you can find the same quality for less go for it. This is the list of dro...

Fantastically what, I wonder?

I like the feel of ML, and the sound.

Better than MX brown IMO.

Arm will drive Intel the way of PowerPC in time. Nothing is immortal. Well, besides Unix, maybe… AMDs chiplets are what will kill intel, if intel don't do it themselves with there pathetic attempt at 10nm, its coming guys soon TM. I mean beating TWO of your competitors chips at half the power with ...

Vacuums baby - always suck, never blow. I would recommend against this, i mean if its all you have go for it, but digging through a whole vacuum bag looking for keycaps and stabilisers is nowhere neat as fun as it sounds... trust me. EDIT Just remembered this . https://www.ebay.com/itm/100PCS-Dispo...

What about Cherry ML?

Get out!



Not sure on the reliability of them to be fair. The ones i had where fine( and fantastic).

Is the wyse 50 complete with all caps and stabilisers ? There's only one stabiliser for the space bar since all the >1u keys are stepped. It does have all the caps and that one stabilizer. US layout i am guessing ? I am interested , if we can get it to the UK for a less than insane shipping price .

What type of switches do you like ? Do you want to be able to swap out kecaps with little issue ? I usually recommend a filco TKL when people are starting out. https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/usa-filco-ninja-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-soft-linear-action-keyboard.asp They are well made , its sup...

I would guess that number on the right is the date ? But that does not make sense for US dates , in the rest of the world where normal people live i would think that was 19th Feb 1978? I have made a google doc and added this one , will do mine when i get home https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...

The Debians are ok. Gentoo ofc as its all build form source. We lost Arch PPC tho .

Its sad we are losing things like PPC SPARC etc just making x86 a little better every year is boring
