arccos(248/((49 - 39)^2 + 248^2)^.5) =~ 2.309 degrees for everything but the b62 arccos(210/((49 - 39)^2 + 210^2)^.5) =~ 2.726 degrees for the b62 but i'd need the actual chassis measurements to be accurate. Either way, we can reasonably assume the typing angle is less than 4 degrees and probably cl...

I worry that if the angle by default is too steep, I'll have to lift the front of the case up a lot. Visual confirmation isn't helpful to me. if you can get me measurements for A, B, and C below, I can calculate the default typing angle

what is the typing angle going to be on the R2 keyboard?

I have a pair of original beam springs, but I never bother to use them because the steep typing angle makes them uncomfortable.

nope I didn't. I just have the one switch. can't find anymore

It's a very heavy linear switch, and it appears to have the same dimensions as SMK Vintage Linear. Here are pictures:

Bump for m0110a

Hottek 1PF101, these come with clicky HTK switches. its a smooth (when in good condition atleast) and light clicky switch, though they are somewhat inconsistent.

I'm looking to buy the following: M0110A with SMK Vintage Linears: I know that the ones made in Taiwan had these. Condition of the keyboard doesn't matter much. purchased 90+ SKCL Green Alps: must be in 9/10 condition or better Black Label Zenith Z-150: must have green alps, and the switches must be...

Have we tried nyogel 774VL? data sheet here: https://shop.newgatesimms.com/wp-conten ... _774VL.pdf

40c viscosity is 903 cSt, specific gravity is 0.86 g/cm^3. so the viscosity in mPa-s is:
903 * .86 =~ 777

I've got an F-AT I need to foam up. is this still available?

for anyone in germany, I believe this keyboard will have micro switch SC switches: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/robuste-itt-din-tastatur-701552-003-kult-xt-at-rar-retro-keyboard/94967854-225-1781?ref=search my reasoning is the keycaps are very similar to https://deskthority.net/wiki/I...

I also have a strange one to identify, a Philips with, what it seems to be, relegendable keycaps. Sadly I do not have more details:

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=9821&start=30#p208611

It does indeed look a bit like Epson's Topre: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Epson_Business_Full_Keyboard Besides the spacebar, the caps scream PBT. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a Topre. This is something I can actually speak on due to my foray with using sony pve-500's to get OG BKE Domes. You see...

People forcing caps onto Beamspring switches deserve to have their fingers burnt. Bad, bad!

Did you buy some?

I didn't. i have the mini 3278, so no need for the num keys.

if anyone with a 3278 was trying to find BoW numeric keycaps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Selectric-Typewriter-Parts-0-9-Keyboard-Number-keys-Complete-You-Get-10-Keys/153861388256 Aren't those actually MX mount? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~v4AAOSw22ZeaXpx/s-l1600.jpg Ah damn, I've been had!

Tulip generally comes with cherry switches. But I couldn't tell you without seeing the switch.

If the Dah Yang Unitek K151L deal doesn't go through, I'd love to take it.

Sorry man, it's gone. Forgot to update the listing

You mean contributing to the skyrocketing price? What a joke! Worse paint job I've ever seen :twisted: I hope it was not this Orihalcon dude who painted it.

I've draw a blank on this switch - and the keyboard too. The switch is clicky, perhaps an Alps clone of some sort, but with a simple rectangular slider like an SMK 2nd Gen switch. Doesn't feel too bad at all. Does anyone recognize it? IMG_20210328_112747.jpg IMG_20210328_112551.jpg Looks like a kpt...

Ebay is weird.

Zeal is working on releasing an mx switch with an alps style click leaf. the'yre called either 3-in-1 or clickiez. Two pieces of intriguing information in one thread - it's almost too much! :D Cool find! I purchased the keyboards off of another forum member, so I can't really take credit for the fi...

they're pretty scratchy honestly. it's not due to the click leaf though, because i experimented with removing the leaf. oddly enough, when you press with a bias towards the back of the switch (the side the contacts are on) it binds (even with the click leaf out). but if you push down towards the fro...
