Automatic buy if there's a HHKB version of this board. Please. Please. Please.

Located in Texas, US and looking for a 3278. I prefer to buy from someone who's a community member than someone who doesn't really appreciate vintage boards. Doesn't have to be converted. Thanks!

Reviving an old post here: https://i.imgur.com/l0XAmo7.jpg For some reason only these keys are registering when I use hid_listen. I checked all the soldering joints and they don't look that different from the ones that are working. The multimeter also beeps on all columns and rows. I'm using a Teens...

Hi all- I am running into a problem with xwhatsit's controller. For whatever reason, the .exe file disappeared and does not reappear after I unzip the downloaded file again. I asked my antivirus to skip this folder but the same issue still persists. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any clue on...

Thanks for the write up! I really enjoyed reading it.

Really? You have a link?

It was an limited offer from a local Makita distributor, I think this cases accumulated and they just wanted to get rid of them

Cool thanks! That's a great find!

It only gets better...

Made a mistake of ordering four cables... contacted the seller and s/he's willing to cancel it. Feels like a legit guy to me.

Never have an F&F. I know some people really hate it... I suppose I should start looking for an xwhatsit

Anyone has experience with this one? https://i.imgur.com/WlMMFM9.jpg The seller says it's Harris C1100 but I can't figure out what switches are in it. Thanks! This looks a bit like NMB (space invader), but I could be wrong Interesting... I guess we will see when it arrives (from Egypt, God damnit)

It's always fun to see a tatung keyboard since they're known for making rice cookers in Taiwan

Anyone has experience with this one?

No you're not. I'm getting really skeptical about this market. Some prices are just not making any sense. The sellers may use these to justify higher prices...

Yeah it's a rather stranger seller. The estimated date is August something. He did refund me eventually, after a month and a half.

Hi all- I don't have the product and do not plan to manufacture it BUT I'm curious how many people are interested in a 9009 or other classic sets for buckling spring boards such as Model M & F. If there's enough interest, I can do some research to see if it's possible to find people to produce them....

Yes it was me! I saw your video and decided to just give it a shot. Thanks for sharing more information !

I DID IT!!!! Never thought that I could actually build a converter myself...

Thank y'all for the support.

My solution to the trouble of soldering tiny wires was to - trim the outer housing back about 1.5 inch - strip the last 0.25 in of each wire - hot glue the outer cable housing to the teensy - bend the 1.5 in of stripped wire in a loop This lets you solder to the teensy without much tension on the w...

I did remove it, it was fairly simple. To figure out the pinouts - use a multi-meter and check for continuity to leads to the controller chip. You only need to identify the GND and VCC from the controller chip. For CLK and DATA just try both options out until it works. Wrongly connecting the CLK or...

you should be able to identify the pins on the connector to determine what needs to go to your converter, That is what I did when converting mine. Unfortunately I don't have it handy so I can't look at what went where. Thanks! It seems like a pain to full remove that connector but I guess it's the ...

Okay, so two strategies. Any input will be appreciated. 1. But this and wait until they arrive from China: https://www.ebay.com/i/224043710919?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3Df624e00b42b54854881240fb4152501e%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D2...

Patiently waited until the week the board should arrive. Just got the refund without a word... not sure what’s going on. He has some recent positive reviews since my purchase.

You can just cut the borders of the plate (where is meant to be mounted originally) and and some nuts and bolts in between, looking for an specific place where your PCB has no traces. Try to avoid buying an entire custom plate, is the most expensive thing in most keyboard builds and prone to errors...

Thanks! What type of shop may provide this kind of service? I don't think I have any equipment to cut metal. If you can find a local shop you may be able to get parts cut for cheaper than online places like laserboost. There is a place local to me that can cut plates at a tenth the price of laserbo...

As you can see below, the plate is too high for the cap to sit on the switch properly.

Since you want to know why I want a custom keyboard and not a factory-made one. It is because I want to do as much custom as I can do for my setup. And my layout would be ISO. I would love to have my function keys for shortcuts but its not necessary. I am asking because you may be able to achieve y...

The question should be: what do you want to customize? What do you want that factory-made keyboards do not have? If you can tell us this, I'm sure $200 is 100% enough.
