Both keyboards sold. Thanks!

Looks like rubber dome. Keycaps are 1.2 mm thick, and quite nice.

Accepting offers on the NIB Sun keyboard and mouse set.

Sun board is still available.

Rack Mount is sold and price drop on Sun board.

That's a nice AT. Good for you - you kept your big-ass enter AND got a longer backspace. I tried to get used to the single unit backspace but couldn't for some reason (bizarrely I was able to figure it out on the XT, though :-?) Also my enter was really stiff, on the brink of binding when I hit it i...

Rack mount board is pending.

I'm trying to make some space and thought it's time to sell my: - Sun Type 5, new in box. Comes with mouse (which seems to have been removed from the box for some time) and some classic paperwork and mousepad. I haven't got the time to put it into service. Asking $80 $60 plus shipping. A second mous...

Yes, I read that a while back, and now having done my research it carries more weight re-reading it. Thanks for the link. The community seems to have as varied opinions as there are trackballs. Also seems relatively common that people pine for the trackballs that went out of production a long time a...

How do you compare the scroll rings on the two Kensingtons? I hear that the Orbit's is smoother than the Expert's.

The CST and Elecom HUGE both look pretty top notch, and seem to fit in entirely different categories. How is it with that scroll wheel way up there on the CST?

Trackball aficionados: on the quest for your perfect trackball, you might have ended up with a couple unused and/or detested trackballs in a drawer. I'm interested in trying out finger or thumb trackballs, preferably with scroll wheel of some kind. Let me know what you're ready to part with!

Me too. I hope there's enough interest!

To add to the knowledge base and answer some of the OP's questions, I dropped the guts of a 2017 Unicomp into one of the 1995 grey industrial cases. End result: mine has the same accumulating play. It's clear that they used the left side of the board as reference. IMG_20201017_140810.jpg What can be...

Also I am wondering what color that PF1 key really is! That numpad is a looker.

Nice keyboard, looks kind of familiar :) The case on mine seems to have come from the same mold. I'm surprised to see how many different switches Falco used. I've seen differing degrees of yellowing on ABS keys on the same keyboard before, but in this case I think you are right that the keys with pr...

I haven't got better pictures at the moment but mine looks similar. I'll let the protocol specialists add the details.

SP seems ready to make all kinds of ancient stuff but doesn't keep 9.75 unit DCS profile spacebars in stock (go figure). Rayndalf, what profile is your keyset? They even offer stepped molds for non-stabilized keys. Presumably there is a minimum order, even for keys without legends - has anybody got ...

It's pretty cool, someone can make a really cool desk integrated pc with those as peripherals. I'd do it myself, but I have too many projects that I need to finish already. I agree 100% with both comments! Looks amazing; layoutwise and originality! I'd be really happy to take it off your hands! :D ...

To be had for the price of shipping: Available: Compaq Enhanced II keyboard (Key Tronic foam & foil): Hefty yet "space-saving" design from about 1990. Its nifty detachable SDL to DIN cable is interchangeable with IBM's, for the curious out there. Claimed: I salvaged two 18 in. rack mount keyboards f...

Do you mean the /? or \| key (to the right of left shift) on the UK layout? If \|, that's probably because that key doesn't exist on the US layout. Never mind that the IBM PC initially placed it there...

2B is shared by both of those physical locations (and they are functionally the same). Of course, that depends on the scan code set - much more info to be found in John J. G. Savard's article: http://quadibloc.com/comp/scan.htm

I'm afraid that it will not work directly with a modern computer since the protocol is XT, not AT. You'll need an active converter.

My idea with the lock lights was just a first-order check if the controller wasn't fried. It's by no means a true verification. But it leads me to think that it's likely a contact problem, either between membranes or from membranes to controller. Especially since none of the keys work. Have you clea...

Do the lock lights correspond to their respective state in the operating system? In other words, if you hook up a second keyboard and turn on Num Lock on that one, do both keyboard lock lights respond? Weezer is right, I've had trouble with getting good contact with edge connectors before. Also make...

Nice layout, especially the back tab. And the partially-mirrored num pad. I personally would keep the AltGr key next to the spacebar, but that's just habit from the Enhanced keyboard. And I actually liked your nav cluster unencumbered by other buttons; as pointed out above it's really the space arou...

Hi all, first real post here. I've learned a lot from you all while lurking and thought it's about time I join the conversation. And an F AT...modded to an F77 layout Nice keycaps on your F AT! I need to have a nav cluster and num pad available, especially while teleworking during confinement. So it...

I’ve got a whole ISO F122 if you’re even more desperate…

That's actually a nice solution, especially if it's for the price of a couple keycaps but I'm not to that point of desperation just yet.
Thanks for the replies so far!

Hello everybody, I'm searching for a vertical ISO enter and backspace of the older variety with thin wire stabilizers. For instance, those who have performed the ANSI mod on their F122 might have an extra hidden away somewhere. I'd like to ISO-mod on my model F AT. Thanks! Edit: in case there are an...

Late response! Has your friend already bought something? I've been using my wife's Ultimate Hacking Keyboard during the confinement, and I'm very impressed with it. I know it's not quite what you asked for (it's more like a 60%, and not by default in the Norwegian layout), but once you master the mo...

Hello all, I've got an Apple Macintosh Portable keyboard module, which I've mounted in a temporary plywood frame. I used a Teensy++ to rig up the matrix and it's a joy to use. I might write up something about it in the future if I ever get to finish the project. However the French layout is not real...
