This is the wrong forum to ask. DT is primarily a vintage keyboard forum.

... Discussions of homebrew designs and of group buys are also very much part of the forum.

Ofcourse they are. But the OP will get better responses on other forums for his/her query.

Hi, guys I just want to make a budget board with a few specifications. Important: Tkl and if not then 75%, USB-C, plate aluminium or brass. Budget around 200-400€ Fully programmable keys. Nice if there is any rgb or led lights. Most important i want the novelkeys cream switches or others that sound...

Already! LOL

Ship me one...

Just for fun, look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqZ-A5ndUmY

They look great. What kind of stickers are those? I can barely see the plastic lines. Or are they transfers?

While the price of goods in the US are the cheapest in the world, postage and shipping prices are among the most expensive. Unicomp is not in the business to attempt to profit from shipping charges - shipping charges continue to be raised by all carriers, public and private. The actual shipping cha...

Where does one order these ?

Looking for 2 pcs of Model M stabiliser inserts. One each of horizontal and vertical type inserts. I am based in Germany so prefer receiving from someone in the EU. Those are replacement parts that most people will not keep extras extras of. The vertical ones are more scarce than horizontal ones. U...

Hey, can we apply this setup to model f xt running by pro micro soarer's converter? If yes would you please provide information about wiring? Thanks. No, because Soarer's converter does not have a PIN set to trigger a signal for the Solenoid. And because Soarer's converter is not open source, we wo...

Now I want to drill a hole in the head of who made this. Whoever did it was ahead of times. There's your vintage RGB keyboard right there! The seller is obviously bonkers for demanding 1300 as a starting bid. That is a good example of keyboard retro-illumination, very ahead of its time. RGB of yest...

Newbie speaking here, but looking at the picture given to show off their 'beam spring switch' it looks to be nothing like a beam-spring, and very much like the MX design. Doesn't a switch need to have the mechanism of a beam spring in it to be called a 'beam spring switch'? (I'm thinking of the IBM...

Last time I checked we were free to discuss anything we want? Do you go to a shop/store without any intention of buying or selling, but instead stand in the middle of the store and start trolling, distracting the shop from conducting any business? That's poor etiquette. Same goes with this thread s...

Adding a solenoid driver (adjustable for different solenoid voltages and currents), not only an expansion header, would be extremely good. A relay costs less than 1 eur and a DC DC Boost converter also costs about the same. So for just 2 euros in additional components you can drive a solenoid. If y...

There are 24 pins for columns and 8 sense positions for rows on the PCB. So it's truly universal for all Beamsprings and Model Fs out there. Support for additional rows/columns will need a change to the PCB, but can be done.

A few weeks ago I discussed this concept with user listofoptions and he is in the process of designing a through hole universal beamspring/model F controller. unknown.png Features: 1. Full compatibility with Beamspring Keyboards and Model F keyboards 2. Easy to hand solder components - all component...

A single beamspring switch costs 9 USD. Cheap enough for a sacrifice.

MX black vintages are the best switches I own - I put them above my beamspring and blue alps.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube explaining how to clean, open, repair, mod model M keyboards...

If keys don't register, check the area for missing rivets. You can only do this by opening it up. If you are missing only a few rivets then there is no need to bolt mod. Bolt modding is the most talked about mod on a model M, yet 99 percent of model Ms will never need a bolt mod.

I dont think anyone cares about it being taken away. The company I work for, bins all used IT equipment when someone leaves and buys new ones for the next employee. Laptops have to be returned, due to data protection, sensitive data and software licensing. Keyboards and mice - no one cares about. Al...
