My Cherry G80-3000 S TKL keyboard with brown switches has been used (quite intensely) for about 4 years. Recently I've noticed that right ANSI Shift has more pronounced tactile bump (feels like 3 times more compared to other keys). Only occasionally, probably when pressed under a specific angle. Mil...

Thanks for the date. Yep, this was originally 25-pin as well (see the description).

I haven't posted this yet.

Not sure how old it is but even almost a quarter century ago I wanted to use it for fun as something vintage and exotic - that's why the original 25pin connector was changed to 9pin one because RS232 had replaced the 25pin version in early 2000's PCs.

This is really beautiful - especially for a programmer, keeper of some farm animals and native Czech speaker at the same time. :) I'm a bit sceptical though. Classic programming we learn will be soon for a bunch of guys writing very specialised code (maybe specific parts of unusual firmware etc.) Fo...

The keycap colour is quite atractive.

They look almost linear.

Thanks for the picture. Love this kind of antique technical stuff.

Very nice!

But what kind of switches does use that rotary dial telephone?

Very nice keyboard! Wonder if the extra space above F-keys row was meant as an area for explanatory stickers/notes or just the style of that era?

Function keys have to be there for something , right? As I said launching mastodon apps like Outlook or Teams you typically start just after logging in a don't close them until the shutdown or reboot. Volume Up/Down/Mute Play/Pause/Next/Prev make a lot of sense on easily accessible keyboard shortcu...

Looks nice. Those hotkeys for launching applications give a feeling of the early 2000's.
(How often does one need to launch Outlook or Teams?? )

Looks nice. You should also get a white/beige ball mouse from that era... wait!!! ...LCD monitor???

When my fingers can't find them, I'll stick something else on there.? For example? :D I had completely levelled homing bars on my last rubber dome keyboard (Microsoft Wired Keyboard 200). Some old stickers for labelling audio cassettes (those tiny square stickers with numbers and letters attached t...

My Cherry G80-3000 S TKL has both - differently shaped F J + homing bars on them. They're slowly disappearing after more than 2 years of daily use. When my fingers can't find them, I'll stick something else on there. I'm a pig - so what?

I love the orange look, TKL would be better for me (mouse closer at hand), but the layout is an utter nightmare!

What are the two rows of keys good for?

Looks good. But who still needs two Window keys?
Why not place Fn instead of the right one and have the missing Ins above -> ?

Bottom row from left is an IBM/ Lenovo "Fn Ctrl ..." order. Win key missing - OK. But hey! What that comma between left Alt and the spacebar?

Great reading! Thanks for putting in your time on it.

All on an IBM Model F. The same one I just went back to a few weeks ago, in fact. I put 20 years on that board before retiring it for a "modern" keyboard in 2008. I unretired it with a thorough scrub and an adapter cable, and it's back on the job. Nice. Getting a used, perfectly cleaned Model F fro...

The location is correct but I'm not sure about Tesla - but I'm no expert.
Your funny picture seems to come from neighbouring East Germany and the computers are probably Robotrons. (Reddit)

Not so much a film, but a historic shot from a 1970's - 1980's telecommunication central. Wonder what those huge keyboards are?
(Open image in a new tab for full size.)

Great app, thanks for the effort!

Nice. Wonder what does the "GL" key (just above arrow up) do?
I would guess the L stands for a lock but standard three locks are already present.

Data Destroyer is even more powerful. :shock: Btw. my retyped book #3 is A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I've already read it and almost died of injuries while 'laughing my ass out'. Such a pity it was rejected by the publisher in time the author completed it (which cost him his life ...

What's the switch tech?

That backspace would put me in a mental hospital.

It's always fun to see all that Cherry MX hate, LOL. 34 reviews, 5.0 stars, MX Brown... Dell rubber domes in early 2000's were infamous for 'unpressable' keys, except when pressed directly from above (maybe +/- 10 deg). Missing *lmost *ll letters ty*ed by *inikies. Probably the worst keyboards I've ...

So what is the GOAT keyboard?



I should probably perform a hoof-typing test with our goats on an unused rubber dome board.

Nice boards. I like the industrial grey one best.
Strange the 2004 version is still without Win keys. That clit is removable, isn't it?
