Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Local Marketplace find, the layout is unusual, the case looks like a model m clone and the apple logo caps are really throwing me for a ride any help would be appreciated.

Re: PSA: tai-hao alps ISO-enter wont fit most old boards
Tai-hao really needs to fix or sell a 7U space bar with proper cherry stabilizer spacing. I would pay anything for a space bar that works so I can finish my stupid SKFL keeb. The set has a lot of keys that arent compatible with SKFL and other alps switches with the bar in the key stem but more of a ...

Re: Have there ever been any attempts to make MX mount sliders for a Model M?
I experimented with MX caps on a Model M back in 2021 with some success but I was still semi new to CAD and it had some drawbacks not to mention extremely tedious. Model M key caps are huge so only high profile key caps could be used to fit the case as cherry profile key caps are way too short. 1U k...

Re: GOOD Cherry MX Switches
Cherry makes really boring or annoying switches, reds are meh, blacks are too stiff, blues are too loud, greens are too heavy and loud, browns aren't tactile and clears are too heavy. Spring swapping helps most of these switches besides blues, greens, browns and the switch I'm going to say but that ...

Re: A lighter Model M
I don't remember where I read this but the weight difference comes from the size of the flipper, since the f flipper is larger than the M's. Not sure if it's true but makes sense to me. I wonder how much a model f flipper weighs compared too a m flipper.

Re: Unknown XT dome board TEBD-0014 [silver reed domes of some sort]
It seems that a board I own uses the same keycaps but with completely different switches. https://imgur.com/a/JnNKh3N mine came with adapters for these assuming Jelco made skcc clones, the larger keycaps also use a pole for stabilizers.

Re: Mods complete, would like to introduce you to my Mini M. I named it "mPossible", can you tell me why?
I wanna say MX (or other keycap type) to buckling spring adapter but you would have to offset the bottom row which not sure how well it would feel 3d printed parts. The caps look like they sit too low to be 3d printed adapters though compared to the ones I have but otherwise really impressive.

Re: Issues with a model F
I had this same error with my F XT and my issue was the USB port was just an extension and wasn't providing enough power. Try a USB port on your motherboard and see if it gives the same error.

Re: MX keycap to Buckling Springs prototype.
Quick update on the 2U adapter shown here https://imgur.com/a/G7XhyEh . It is working but there are a few things, the support stab isn't shifted over enough so it binds a bit on the left currently and the stem height needs to be just a little bit taller to get full travel. For some reason it only cl...

Re: MX keycap to Buckling Springs prototype.
Will the finished product raise the key height as pictured in the demo? I don't think it's possible to make this design without raising the height of the keys, based on how regular buckling spring caps work. Karmel is right, I've been testing 2u keycaps and the cherry stab mount collides with the b...
