Re: [WTS][EU-DE] IBM 5251 Beamspring

You can use pandrews controller, much cheaper. They work great and are compatible with QMK. I use them on my 3277 beamspring.

Should I stretch it first?
No never stretch or strain the spring. That destroys the spring and you have to bin it.

All beamsprings are rare, but I believe they're referring to the data entry keycaps on yours, especially since it's an azerty keyboard. Incredible find, especially from a French perspective! Yeah that's a rarer model of a rarer model :D Thank you all guys! My partner is from Belgium (they use Azert...

Thank you! Yes they are indeed triple shot, didn’t even knew that existed xD Can you explain a bit what is rare about it? The keyboard as in a 3277 66 key version or are you referring to the specific keyset that is on it? I do know there also exist is 78 key version.

Thank you! Some keys of a Unicomp I had laying around doin nothing:) Planning to paint the upper part of the case metallic light blue, keeping the bottom part silver as it is. And then with the classic style printed keys which will arrive later when they are done by Ellipse will be the end game :D
