Agreed with above comment, I am restoring my F XT and sanding the goo from the foam (and the paint) and then repainting is the way to go.

Omg, stop. Don’t watch it then. Unsubscribe. 🥱😒 Exactly! This thread (rather, the people whining about the video) is the equivalent of people following Trump or whoever on Twitter and whining about all his tweets. If you don't like the guy, don't follow him; it's that simple. Wait, I've watched thi...

bump bump, make an offer.

He's pointing out flaws in a horrible keyboard. You mean presenting a harebrained reaction to anything outside his comfort zone. Reminds me of Kübler-Ross model that I've seen applied to novel ideas (though it could be just as well the famous Mahatma Gandhi quote). denial anger bargaining depressio...

I originally hesitated whether I should reply, or not, and decided for the latter, but now that the thread is already here, I'm going to say it anyway: Chyros is an ableist piece of garbage and seems to be fishing for pewdiepie's audience of 13yo edgelords, I'm only waiting for a "heated gamer mome...

W-w-well actually s-swearing is not funny therefore you shouldn't get any views and I hate you!!1

Yes, very disrespectful! I watch these videos with my children! Next time, please include a WANING at the start of the video about the sweari...oh wait

Why [not a friend of expletives, I am fond of real language] don’t you read my posts? [emphasis added] I think his point is that you shouldn't watch videos you don't like and then just whine about them. I thought it was an enjoyable video. I don't mind the swearing, and I completely agree that 1. y...

Why in the fuck are you still watching anyway? xD Why [not a friend of expletives, I am fond of real language] don’t you read my posts?

The MCK-142 always looked compelling, but it doesn't come in ANSI. At least the Northgates seem to have a plate design amenable to an ANSI modification. I don't get why with the billion 3x4 macropads out there, nobody's doing a 2x6 explicitly designed to bolt to the left side of a keyboard, or a 2x...

Welcome to Deskthority! German layout is not in the PCB. It is indeed all in software. The electronics on the PCB reports the position (number) of each pressed key to the computer, and if you have German selected in your operating system then the operating system would rearrange the input to match ...

Hiliarous part is that Northgate Bob has some NOS for $180.

Hi guys. Want to offer some basic and cheap PCB design. All I am really doing is a small step above hand wiring; just diodes, switches, and Pro Micro, but for some people that is enough. All I will need is a layout and some stuff like what switches you plan on using and where you want the Pro Micro....

It's already in my possession Maybe I can pass it to someone who could use it for parts.

Can you not remove a keycap to check switches? haha

Thanks for the lead! I found this page which looks to have the same keyboard: https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/stara-klawiatura-mai-basic-four-4312-lata-80-i7792409903.html I'll try to find out if it has rubber domes, but it feels like it. Definitely nothing clicky. Yeah I would stay away from th...

Hi folks, my first post here. Picked up this keyboard. It has no logo or stickers, and I don't know what it is. It has some German keys on it (ß), and a key saying "EXTRA TEKEN" which is Dutch. The connector is of a phone cord type. Anybody knows what this is? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EYtMIydX0A...

If you don't mind, where did you got the PCB and how much it cost? I am obviously not Robb but JLCPCB has the cheapest PCBs by far, just send them some gerber files and they can usually do 5 for under $30 before shipping (and they sponsor a fair amount of people so you can easily save a decent amou...

I think the swearing and the hate on special-needs keyboards has gone a bit out of hand. It's not interesting and it's not entertaining. I wouldn't have opened the video without this comment. And to be honest, I stopped watching some time after the flurry of impecations (at ~1:18 of 16:19) coming s...

I think the swearing and the hate on special-needs keyboards has gone a bit out of hand. It's not interesting and it's not entertaining. While I see where you're coming from, they could've done this in a much better way. Start by building it well, then by making it slightly more of a standard qwert...

I love how this board is already fucking horrible and then they go ahead and make it worse with the build quality that makes a Cherry G80-3000 look like it's built like an Omnikey.


You should make a video gaming on it

Got my second Model M13 today! It came in pretty great condition and with a still-wrapped manual.

"pretty good", that looks mint! Nice find

You’ll just have to get some scissors to make the weird ones line up. Plus make some small holes under each barrel since XT (/3178/5291) barrels mount slightly differently than 4704/104/122/AT ones. IMHO, you might as well cut a piece foam yourself at that point but YMMV. As ddrfraser1 said, I'm su...

left-hand Maltron for $12.5 (either the photo is off, or it's some black version with white keycaps that I haven't seen yet)

It is a scam. They used to be at $2.50 each. It is a generic picture, not taken by the seller.

Already checked that out, but unless I am blind, there isn't an option for F XT foam.

Hi guys, bought a model F XT and loved the tiny bit of typing I did on it, but it needed a restoration. I have that underway but am stuck at what I should do with the foam. It was completely disintegrated and when I pulled apart the key assembly to clean the metal plate, it just fell apart. Is there...

Maybe try a Soarers on a modern PC?

It's been for sale for so long lol. I almost got it like six months ago, but decided not to (thank fuck I didn't lmao).
