not a horrible price for that keyboard

Wow, this guy is fast

Where did the keys with the chinese come from?

Nice job Does the AT PCB natively support the wheelwriter layout? I never was sure how people could ANSI mod the F AT (that many extra pads on the PCB?). indeed there are functioning pads under every barrel in the keyboard as well as where the alt keys would go. if im not mistaken the alt pads don'...

I found an F AT in rough shape; I restore and mod it with many photo TLDR; here is the before and after: https://i.imgur.com/BB5PSVw.png https://i.imgur.com/7DFoW9V.png Here is the full journey: Dirty Pics old dirty keyboard: https://i.imgur.com/BB5PSVw.png mm https://i.imgur.com/swBkRak.png badge i...

Hi, @fricked : any recent news on this project? (Or newer pictures/designs/schematics of parts to share?) Unfortunately I haven't been working on it lately :( There was much less interest than I expected so this project doesn't seem very viable. I might do it anyway counting on future uses for the ...

Found this beauty for pretty cheap and I couldn't help myself https://i.imgur.com/0LzuaBp.jpg If you have any ideas what the switches are or how old this thing is, drop a comment :oops: pics below I restore it Mounting cross is at an angle (this one is kinda broken though) https://i.imgur.com/Uiw3Hw...

Speaking of variations between models, I have observed in my own model Ms the following: Some bottom cases don't have these mounting tabs for the controller; instead, the controller screws onto the back plate: https://i.imgur.com/FlcYgR6.png Sometimes the membrane is glued to the back plate: https:/...

Would be cool to support lock lights, although each generation of Model M had a different interface between the lights and the controller - so maybe its not feasible I will include the lock lights "header" on the pcb but people will have to figure out the connection themselves given that they diffe...

Re: conductivity - get a 8B pencil (or pure graphite if you have access) and draw a solid plane of graphite on the bottom of the flipper. It would flake off after couple thousand keypresses - but for a quick check it should do. Note: NOT charcoal. Charcoal doesn't work for this particular case. Don...

You just can't compare a group buy with sourcing independently the stuff from different vendors. Having the PCB and the controller delivered probably cost as much as a GB spot :-) that's why a smaller group buy could have been interesting while you source the flippers. Anyway, if you're so sure abo...

Considering that engineering the flippers took ellipse a long time, why don't you just run a GB for PCB and the controller, without flippers ? This way people could use their own model f flippers, if they're compatible with the model m plate and barrels, and meanwhile you could further test your fl...

Fnhanced kfyboard? I'm in! I bet terminal Model M keyboards will be ideal "donor" boards, so that begs the issue of ensuring the necessary recabling and whatnot is considered as an integral (or at least, a close-to-core option) part of the project. A cable will most likely be included, I haven't ye...

Finally someone's working on reviving the Model MF project!
Just making sure, there's no plan to also print the barrel plate, right?

No such plans at the moment, the M barrel plate is compatible with very little modification

Very interesting initiative that seems paving the way to a new m/f hybrid project now that hybrid is so fashionable.
I'am in if only the survey worked. Please, fix the broken link.

Changed it to a google form, here's the new link: https://forms.gle/oz6EXbdKAtyEKZAu7

This is an interest check for an IBM Model M to F conversion kit. The purpose of this mod: to replicate the superior Model F internals in the superior layout and availability of the Model M. The kit would include: - (110x) Model F flipper (reproduction; not an original IBM part) - (110x) Model F sp...

Update on the flippers: Today SneakyRobb printed for me his latest flipper model, as well as my model that I sent him. His spring holder needs a revision but with some destructive modification (jammed the spring on) it works very well. Here is a sound test comparing both of our flippers to IBM flipp...

You need to reverse the coil to get a proper retractable effet according to this

Woah, golden tidbit right here!

Here it is reversed:


Nice and tight! Still pretty ugly though

Update: gave it 6 heat/cool cycles without taking it off the rod but the result is pretty much the same:

Had some of these terminal model m cables lying around but they are ugly so i decided to try to re-coil them by wrapping them around a rod and heating them with a heat gun and letting them air dry gallery: https://imgur.com/gallery/gkUuZ50 original cable was about 1m long: https://i.imgur.com/d4R6zY...

Update: the cardboard was annoying and wobble wobble so i came up with a more permanent solution

Case was damaged, cable was cut, missing some crucial keycaps and a couple switches were faulty. "beyond repair" was definitely an exaggeration but it wouldn't be worth the effort in my opinion. Plus, I wouldn't even use it now that I'm switching to this layout

I wanted to make a keyboard with a lot of keys for typing (most importantly at least 6 thumb keys), but that layout doesn't exist so I had to take matters into my own hands. When I got my hands on a beyond repair badly damaged Tanden with space invader clickies, https://i.imgur.com/98nK2rA.png I kne...

first !!!

Could this be done on an attiny85? I've used Engicoder's xt to ps2 and it works like a charm but now I've got some terminals i want to convert

where did you find it
