I still have yet to find any M's made on my birthday. If anyone has one from late January of 85, then hit me up 8-)
If that existed, it would take the record for oldest Model M

Re: How are the domes on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard?

Sounds like it's a pass then. Too bad, they look pretty neat!

I'm looking for some good Ps/2 keyboards to go with some beige boxes I've got. Most of my boards are 5 din or USB oddly enough. My current favorite is my BTC 5130. I've never tried Scorpius domes so I may give one of them a try.

Re: Playing games on an Acer 6311 is infurating!

If I game, I use the Apex Pro. As others have said, good typing boards (ei, vintage boards) don't usually make for good gaming boards. Not a hard and fast rule but I don't think I've ever even attempted to game on something like a buckling spring or even an alps board. IMO, better to use the boards...

Re: suggestions for /dev/tty2 ?

I would love to see an APL set. I'm only now realizing there are no SA APL sets (that I know of... ok sail and symbiosis but ya can't buy em)

An MT3 set ala The IBM 5100 would be primo.
Dare I request those delicious front legends?

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

Yeah I think these switches can be fun projects. Chyrosran22 did a neat youtube video about them a few years ago. The switches themselves are nothing special but the stems are great for swapping into other housings such as Zealios.

Maybe sorting out the stabilisers and swapping the caps out would take it up a notch but for now, my search for a new gaming keyboard continues.

Re: Keebswap - A Mechanical Keyboard Marketplace

Lol, I for one joyously wield the term 'keeb' and wear it as a badge knowing how much it irks the vintage vets. If you're gonna call it a keeb, you have to just accept the derision that goes with it - sort of the keyboard equivalent of saying 'moist' :lol:

Of course, but it wasn't really a matter of not respecting his wish, I didn't actually read the details as you guys probably guessed, it was more that I made a simple request and he was an ass about it.
