So i think my keyboard is in the process of giving out. The 2 indicated collums keep going dead. If i remove and re-seat all the keys on those collums they work for about 2-3 keypresses then both collums go dead again. At first i was hoping it was springs skipping from where they should be, but with...

So technical question for you guys. My F77 has started to develop a bit of an frustratingissue over the past couple weeks. Initially it was just 1 key, but it has spread to a second one now. What I am having happen is that the key will stop responding to keypresses until I remove and reinstall the k...

So just watched the LGR video and I'm kinda disappointed in a lot of the complaints he made about the board, which is sad because normally I agree with/like his commentary on things quite a lot, this time not so much and I think a lot of it is not the fault of the hardware, but rather his choices an...

Not to derail this thread, I have created a new photo thread for pics of great pens on great keyboards:

Ohyes!

Oh I'm definitely getting in on this! Scarpia, is that an MB149 or 146? Either one, awesome! Here's my quick pic with pens on hand! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/412911432481636368/813480282304806962/PXL_20210222_183926904.jpg top row: Pelikan 805 Blue Dunes, Sailor King of Pen, Aurora Opti...

Talking about overlap in hobbies. . . .



2 generations of IBM (also this was really heavy, the Selectric II is another 35lbs in addition to the weight of the F77 lol)

ahyeah the V5 is a great pen! For non-fountain pens, I really enjoy the Retro 51 rollerballs! Which also look good sitting on the pen res, BTW ;D The one in the pic earlier is a Pilot Custom 74. Which reminds me, I need to take a pic of the F77 with my other IBM keyboard based device and post it he...

Day 2 of typing with the F77 here and I absolutely love it! I've officially decommissioned my old corsair K90, unplugged it from my computer and put it away for safe keeping! Just the F77 from now on :) The key feel when typing on this just feels good and it sounds good and I'm just having a blast t...

yes they are, thats what I'm using right now, but once my new keycaps arrive I'll be switching them out

So, this is interesting @Ellipse, I have not touched the F77 in a few days as I was getting tools and supplies together to solder the pins and fix the dead collumns. Today I opened it up to take some pics of the controller to get confirmation of what I needed to fix and then put it all back together...

Those are clean! Also! Where can we order a key with the buckling sprint diagram on it like that bottom right one?! :O

I have not checked that. Does it cause an issue if they do? Also what kind of tape is it? ahhhh...I was so hoping it would be something simpler like adjusting the spring or me just not putting keys on right. I have not soldered things in 20ish years and don't have the equipment :( (edit) Did pop the...

yeah, got the first aid kit and pliers etc. Gonna have to pick up the soldering iron stuff and do some practicing before I even think about working on the keyboard it's self

ahhhh...I was so hoping it would be something simpler like adjusting the spring or me just not putting keys on right. I have not soldered things in 20ish years and don't have the equipment :( (edit) Did pop the back off so I could put the big chonk feet on and snapped a pic of the controller while I...

Ok, taking a look.. I have not taken apart the baord, so I hope nothing is going on with the controller, just removed and reinstalled keycaps, I also donno where to find the control software, or which one my board has installed (downloaded some stuff off the site but none seem to be a program, just ...

Hello hello! Mine arrived today!!! It is beautiful! https://i.imgur.com/fnPsipB.jpg But I am having some difficulty with keys not functioning. I have mine set up with Unicomp keycaps and made sure to have the keyboard in the right orientation when installing the keycaps. A couple of the keys that di...
