Re: Using VIAL on an Apple Extended Keyboard II

Cool contribution! If anyone is interested, I can post a link to the adapter I bought and my bin file, so you can flash it yourself. Definitely interested. Are your modifications something you can submit to Vial as PR? I have only contributed with a couple of keymaps for keyboards already supported ...

Re: Is there something about Cherry MX switches that make them more "clonable" than other designs?

While there are lots of linear MX clones, I'm actually amazed by the number of Cherry MX clones that are tactile — with the tactile event early in the key travel. These include the Holy/Glorious/Fekker Pandas and Zealio V2, but also a few more. All of these are from clone manufacturers: Cherry neve...

Re: [EU-NL][H] Sun Microsystems Type 5c [W] Free!

The top case needs retr0brighting, but if you do it it will become one of the most beautiful keyboards ever made, IMHO. (I already have one) It is indeed beautiful, but the typing feel is not my cup of tea (I am more on the clicky side of things), I decided that someone will probably enjoy it much ...

I rescued this keyboard from an office cleaning. It needs a bit of cleaning, but it is not terribly dirty.

Giving it away for free, you just cover the shipping costs. I am located in The Netherlands.

Re: Hexgears BoxKeyboard Soda >>Just launched<<

Please check out the configuration and leave us some feedback. Honestly, the first thing I check about keyboards lately is support for QMK firmware, they are few pre-assembled keyboards that offer such a thing (Keychron comes to my mind, and only for a handful of models). I'd say that QMK support a...

I've never had much luck with desoldering wick, though.
I totally concur with this. It's a really good pump.

I always use GT85 thin PTFE spray lube for topre and rubber domes. I imagine wd40 with PTFE is pretty much the same thing.

Re: Bought a KBParadise V80 with Matias Click Switches

Nice combo! How is the sound of the Matias clicks on that keyboard? I got Matias clicky from a very early batch from 7bit and installed them on a Dell, with underwhelming results (for my taste): the sound was too high pitched, hollow and the keys felt wobbly. Maybe the Dell case was the one to blame...

Re: New to Deskthority, need help

Then the PS/2 can be converted to USB with a converter. The PS/2 to USB adapter you have, may be just an adapter, instead of an active converter, hence the reason why it's not working. Just contributing to this with my (limited) experience. I have a couple of those same PS/2 to USB adapters, they a...

As crazy experimentation, maybe you can register the numpad as input device using some of the device models from this list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Serial ... rnel_input

Re: Help with a RS-232 Number pad and Linux

I hope I am not going to say something too wrong :-) I have briefly checked the C code, it seems like a proof of concept to manage the device at very low level, it does not look even like a proper driver. While interesting, it may not help you too much to have the serial numpad working, unless you i...

Yeh dude, don't worry, I think everyone involved has spares. The shear volume of boards means that many are also gifting surplus to Inoz who's engineered the whole thing! Plenty to go around.

Re: Memorex Telex

Nice one! The thing is that that same model was available in Europe in ISO layout, a much more sane option that his (I have had a German and a Spanish one, I still keep the first).

I have some spare parts for it (keys and maybe some switches), but I promised myself to not hoard more of these :-|
