Hey, sorry, I missed your messages somehow, (and honestly not even sure how this thread popped up again in front of me today) If you're still here, then: Please repeat measurement 5 paying attention to be 100% sure you're measuring the correct pins. If it still reads 0.8V, (with the ROW/DAC tester o...

Just a follow-up on this: I just got a programmer, and I have read out the EPROM from two different Mextel Autokey 40 keyboards, both have Rev. 3.74. stickers on the EPROMs. (interestingly it's printed correctly, unlike the hand-corrected sticker on kbTinker's picture) The two binaries i have read a...

Is this a USB-C to USB-C cable? If yes, try a USB-A to USB-C cable. The (old version of) the controller that comes with most F62s does not support C-to-C cables. (and if that's what you have, then I'm surprised it even works sometimes, I expect C-to-C to not work at all) I think there may be a new v...

I was considering this, it should be possible, but I'm not working on it right now. A couple things to note: Hardware wise, for solenoid support you would have to cut the "+5V" trace that goes to the solenoid header, and connect it to the RAW/VBUS pin. The rest of the board should work at 3.3V. The ...

Just make those pads ESSK-style, and you'll probably get a decent enough boost (it's not multilayer, btw - it's single-sided essentially, the back side is basically solid ground). Ahh apologies, I thought it would be multilayer, since I remembered you mentioned you had a ground layer, but then it m...

Well of course, if you cut off the nub ("central protrusion") and put it over a PCB instead of a mat, it's gonna be clickier. But the F will be just as clicky if you shorten it to a Model M size. (of course it's a good question if the F flipper is gonna survive or not over time if you do something l...

I did my own "MiniRazz" replacement controller for the Mini M, see here: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/MiniRazz I've done VIAL firmware for it here: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-minirazz/releases And pure QMK PR is pending here: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20106 There's al...

Disgusting practice by Apple, assuming there's no other way to achieve the same functionality, I wonder how come they haven't been sued about this. I have no idea how apple keyboard function key is supposed to behave, since I don't have any apple computers, but Unicomp Spacesaver M keyboards (the on...

I don't think the controller was replaced. Here's some photos.

You're right, this is the original controller, sorry for the bother!

My Mini M isn't new. I got it when it was released a few years ago. Or do you think they installed a new controller? Yes, it's possible, that's why I'd like to see the picture. It doesn't matter that the mechanics of the keyboard is older. You're the freshest Mini M repair recipient I know of, and ...

Interesting. I just took delivery of a New Model M last week. It took them 3 months to get me one. Also just got back my Mini Model M I sent to them to flash or repair the disconnect problem it would suffer from. Now I have a small label on my back sticker that it was serviced by Unicomp with a dat...

Unicomp very recently started shipping Raspberry Pi Pico based controllers with their New Model Ms. Not sure what they ship with their PC122 keyboards, but if they ship the same, then it doesn't matter what firmware it comes with cause now we have open source VIAL-QMK: https://www.reddit.com/r/model...

I meant these ones . Unfortunately, the terminology around fasteners has a lot of inconsistencies, with different sources using terms like self-tapping screws, thread-cutting screws, thread-forming screws, and self-drilling screws in different ways. Oh interesting, I wasn't aware of the ones you li...

Yes, self-tapping screws are better in that respect. My concern with them would be their compatibility with nuts because of the different thread and having a shank slot at the end. What do you mean shank slot? Do you mean like self-drilling screws like these ? I'm not talking about self-drilling sc...

However, if you drill into plastic, you don't have to use a tap, you can just drill a tap hole with a tap drill and then put in a screw, which will cut its own thread. I very much disagree. Taps actually cut away the material, that is, they result in shavings removed from the hole after you use the...

The proper tap drill size for M2 machine screw in plastic is 1/16" or no. 52, depending on thread pitch. Thanks, that's a very useful .pdf But just to be very clear, that's the tap drill size, meaning, that you must use one of these tools to cut the threads if you use that drill size: tapping_tool....

Few stores in the US sell M2 screws, I order them on ebay from China. They are very cheap but plan on taking 3+ weeks to get them. If you are willing to pay considerably more, McMaster-Carr ships fast. https://www.mcmaster.com/Screws/thread-size~m2/metric-sealing-pan-head-screws/ A 1/16" bit (Imper...

I'm in the process of getting tools together to screw mod a Model M keyboard. Right now I'm stuck on drill bit size. Can't seem to find a consensus. What's the size of the bit they use in this video ? Also, where does one find "M2 machine screws" of the variety used by clickykeyboards.com in their ...

You can also try Sparkfun-style staggered pins . It doesn't necessarily have to be every odd pin moved in one direction and every even pin moved in the opposite. You could have every pin in the middle where it meets the chip moved outwards, and then have the remaining pins alternating. I've done thi...

I guess one particular reason for feeling disgusted, is that the sale happened, because the active community had value, OneCommerce said as much on their website. It didn't get bought for the domain name, brand, trademark, existing links pointing back to the website, which are all fair game to sell....

the reason we are not happy with it (IMHO), is because of the outcome, not so much the decision itself We're rehashing things because of the outcome, but I think I'm speaking for many people saying that the dissatisfaction was there as soon as this thread started, if not sooner. I have not really v...

Text content is/was probably public domain, but it was vaguely stated by webwit on Discord right before the ownership transfer that all content is "CC" (no version specified): The wiki content was regarded open source (CC) but we lazily never formalised it For text, it's probably more bound to be p...

Overall the above infomation does not give a good look for the forum. Please be careful with your data posted on the forum, as we do not know what they could do with the website next. If you are worried about your data I have a couple scripts that you might be interested in: I have a script to down...

Looks like the keyboard is detected, it identifies scan code set 3 correctly. Do any new "rNN" messages show up while trying to type? (Maybe the keymap is set up to not send anything, but you should still see it in hid_listen). Can you get it to type anything by shorting a row to a column with a wir...
