Unicomp/General Electric Model M from 2013:

I've seen you've already got your answer on your r/ModelM post. Unicomp can produce a controller with single usage code firmware that would be suitable for easy remapping. So as an FYI to anyone thinking about buying a PC-122 for PC usage, might want to drop them an email before your purchase reques...

Okay, sorry to make an ask like this, but if I could make a feature request: Would it be possible to have some iteration where we can choose a blacklist or whitelist on specific boards? I want to make one as close to my collection as possible. Or am I missing this and it is already an option? For m...

Update 2021-01-07 Today's a fairly-big update * The first of many Alps/Alps-mount keyboards have been added as a bonus and the first major expansion of the generation! To begin, 23 icons representing Apple, Dell, Focus, Leading Edge, Magnavox, Northgate and Zenith are available. You can find the ic...

My Unicomp New Model M came in! FYI: this is a leap forward for Unicomp!

Hmm... it seems to output to other applications fine to me? This is what I interpreted your question as asking about: Yeah, that's what I was referring to - that doesn't work for me! :lol: I guess my computer has gremlins in it... Anyway, I have a deeper look later and get back to you if it's actua...

Very nice work! :D I think I'll definitely be making use of this. I do have two comments as feedback that might be of help. Firstly, it seems that any remaps I've done are ignored. For example, when I tested your program on my 102-key terminal Model M, the scancodes and translations outputted are of...

In terms of performance ad reliability, there shouldn't be any difference provided the keyboard's original cable is still in good shape. As such, I usually go with option one since it means the converter is portable, easily serviced/troubleshooted and can be used for other keyboards you may have now...

Are you ready to sell your kidney?

Spoiler:

Good luck. I remember mine went for about 100$ shipped from USA in 2011. Old good times...

Lucky!

Hi!

I'm in the market for a black Maxi Switch Model M13! I'd prefer a UK/EU sale, but I don't mind NA if need be!

Cheers!

One thing you can try is seeing if Unicomp's UK reseller (The Keyboard Company) is willing to ship over the channel? They stock quite a few Unicomp products right now.

The old-style overlay: https://www.keyboardco.com/product/mode ... -cover.asp

I don't find many of them that controversial. I kept trying to like Python but eventually gave up: I just don't, no matter how ubiquitous it seems to be. Then again I use Bash for scripting which is slow, inconsistent and, erm, "differently aesthetic". But I keep using it as I've yet to find anythi...

Hey all,

As the title says, I'm in the market for a Model F "blue switch" or F/AT (or both!)

I'm UK-based, but I'm willing to entertain offers from anywhere.

Cheers,
Shark

Actually, please ignore!

Like them both but think you should ditch the insert for the IBM badge, and instead do something like what's in my avatar pic.

If possible, option for both. I imagine having the badge insert for those wanting to make an industrial SSK would be popular.

I see a lot of Model M bolt mods? Aren't Model M passé by now? :evilgeek: Should we start making recommendations on which keyboard that would have the highest scare factor? Maybe one of those roll-up ones? Good idea! You could add one of those laser projector keyboards as a laser cannon. That would...

Nothing hugely complex on its own, but I plan to bolt mod most of my Model Ms at some point. Going to be very time-consuming... I still have to finish my keypad conversions - I've got three Model M7s and a Japanese LPFK to sort out. I originally took on this project since I wanted a few cheap macrop...

more wow.png Yep, a Logitech G600! Unfortunately, not my preferred choice these days though. It fits my hand very well, overall solid build quality, and has a good sensor, but I can't write profiles to it properly, the scroll wheel's buttons are temperamental, and the side buttons are quite mush. T...

My first of hopefully many videos! rwH32-nroqU TLDR, I needed to make some typing demos for my website and I've decided to put them on YouTube in support of my website. I also wanted to play around with this YouTube thing as something else to do in my spare time. I hope to expand beyond typing video...

Welcome to DT!

Update 2020-12-16 Today's a round of content filtering improvements, including: * The replacement of the remove keypads/sub-60% option with the "Specific form factor" field, which allows you to select between all, all minus keypads/sub-60%, keypads/sub-60% only, 60% only, TKL only, full-size only, ...

New office baby. It's a GMMK TKL I got from the Black friday on amazon for a very good price. It's Hot Swap and ISO, switches are Kailh Pro Purple. This keyboard was intended for the /dev/tty keycaps I'm waiting, but a few days ago I got this Tai-Hao. It's so hard to find ISO IT sets of such a good...

Update 2020-12-06 Yet another round of improvements today: * Fixed bug with phone/vertical generation introduced after yesterday's cropping update ( whoops ) * Fixed bug with transparency being lost when generating with an image under certain resolutions * Added many new resolution options for the ...

Update 2020-12-05 Hey all, got some neat updates for the wallpaper generator: * 4x scaling option is now available. * Cropping is a bit smarter now. Since the icons themselves are stored at the same set resolution (128x90), resolutions that don't allow for an integer amount of icons (for example, 1...

Damn, this is a decent deal! Unfortunately, I'm penniless at the moment otherwise I would have definitely bought it. Good luck with the sale!

Wow, it was not what I was expecting when I was imagining it! Cool!

Thanks! Hopefully, better than those expectations!

Man, that's really cool, well done!

Thanks!

Very cool! Using this as my wallpaper now. Awesome! Hope you're enjoying it! :D Great work, love the options available Yours (and matyld's) interest are the reason I ever considered doing this in the first place, so thank you! Impressive that you have the small version on the 5280. What about the k...

I just finished restoring my other beamfoot. The plastic top case was already repainted, but all the internal hardware completely restored as you can see in the following images.

Damn, that's gorgeous! Nice work!

Well there are a few of us young bucks that are into the good stuff. I’m 31 does that count? 🤔 I try to preach the gospel when I’m on other keyboard forums but unfortunately a lot of people just don’t get it. I think part of it is that you have to be into that vintage aesthetic. I’m just old enough...

Hi all! Hopefully, this is the right place to post this (I couldn't find anything specific for art). But anyway, as per interest over at r/ModelM and deskthority Discords, I've developed a wallpaper generator using the IBM (and co) and Alps/Alps-mount keyboard pixel art I've made over the last few m...

Are they planning on nuking the UltraClassic line too? I know they make the Endura with the track point mouse and the trackball model but I'm assuming those are different moulds and less used. Would like to see the white/pebble/tan casing make a return as well. Might order an UltraClassic in that f...
