The switch looks cool but just keep in mind that a kickstarter is not a pre-order its a donation / pledge with a "reward".

Now input club has been around for years and chances are it will be fine, but its something to keep in mind.

20 inch sony BVM/PVMs with RGB card!

(CRT ofc)

SGI and sun microsystem stuff.

Ebay must be showing you one of those "We found something similar" links.

that must be it

Nice keypad. But major human slime under it!

Not sure if counts as great in the current state, but: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-MODEL-F-AT-Keyboard-Buckling-Spring-Vintage-1503092/123829458306?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D460d543129dc4369bd28e44ea8827ba4%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%...

Why throws that kind of thing away. There are some low profile switches there that cannot be more than a few years old as they only came out recently.

Honestly , some people have too much money, they should give it to me so i can spend it on crisps and beer.

Nice.

Take a peak inside , you may see a happy surprise.

Some M50s ( if not all ) have a half F half M design . An F style top and bottom plate with M internals. Or what i like to call a "Proto M"

I checked my controller boards and the connectors and I believe the only thing that can cause this is corrosion. There is no screw etc. As you have said ... there is no corrosion anywhere else on the board, it is very odd. I wouldn't use the original connector, as it is super hard to solder to the ...

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. They all look to be just re brands of the same thing . I found the same thing with another name for about 6 GBP so orderd two...

Hi All. I have been looking into possibly trying out a foot switch for holding down mod keys ( shift control etc ) as when playing long sessions on some games and needing to hold down mods and press buttons for actions (shift 1 2 3 4 5 6, control 1 2 3 4 5 6) and so on. And it can start to be uncomf...

Try spraying a bit of contact cleaner in there , it could be corroded .

That is just amazing. What are there like less than 10 of them ? And you just found it lying around.

Honestly you should give up now as unless you find a space cadet in the street you aint' topping that !

Do we have to pay extra for the tooling marks on the case and the misaligned lettering on the keycaps ?

moreover, the tooling is ancient and difficult to work with, apparently

Sell it to unicomp , they are used to working with shit broken down tools

Drink tea , its better !

For business purposes, I was repeatedly offered a Windows phone or laptop or tablet in the past 10 years. Free stuff, IF I did something else such as purchasing X or ordering Y. I never took up a single one of these offers and have no regrets. Free Windows devices usually are of minimal use. Paying...

Yeah, Beams are appreciating insanely in price

Beamsprings are the new Bitcoin

At what price to i cash out my beamsring

Impressive.

One day i will tell you about my industrial grey Z-KB2

He makes a good point. All they had to do was move down arrwo from 2 and move it to 5 and not bother with the whole silly nav cluster to begin with.

They have two windows keys two shift keys who control keys ( that all send different scancodes) a menu key and 12 bloody F keys.

If they cannot program proper keyboard navigation with that then they need to give up and go home.

I would however be all for F13 to F24 becoming standard !

Four more years. MAGA!
Boris for PM!

Always good to see your photos.

Dont know why but this photo reminds me of the 4704s that got away that that guy had shredded.

You have a tab key on the numberpad! This pleases me!

You should have done a black keys cream case and tried to find some grey alphas .

That would have looked amazeballs!

Good job tho mate !

Keyboards made it in. Don't have time right now to clean up the Hi-Tek RT101 but the Old Logo AT101 has the cleanest Alps switches I've ever gotten without cleaning them myself. Red Space invaders !!! Do tell! The dell looks nice. I was lucky enough to get myself a NIB dell ( new logo sadly) and mo...

Very impressive work mate!

Old IBM documentation is just outstanding! Some of it is so good i am convinced you could build the machine just from the books.

If only that was still done today!

This sounds like a fantastic idea. I would be up for more DT merch , i love my anniversary mug. How about a huge desk pad , something like this. Let me know if i can help out with this or the DTA. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57c48b9f6a4963affcaf57d5/581cecb39f7456e5fe2423fe/5a27121171c10b...

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.
