WTB AT layout keyboards (See Model F AT for what I'm talking about) Some examples of what I'm looking for: Epson Q103a SKB-5150C Monterey K2AX w/ Alps Datacomp DFK-777 w/ Alps DataDesk PC 8700 Polish Model F AT Clone Unitek K-151 w/ Mitsumis And I'm always looking out for other stuff too so if you h...

I bought a FK-727 recently and there's a few caps I need replacements for.
Alphas: 10u spacebar, minus and plus.
Mods: Numlock and alt
F-row: F7 and F8 (XT Column)

The listing Max is talking about is different from the one you're thinking of I think. There was a Xerox 6085 listed by a scammer that didn't show or say anything about the switch despite them knowing it was browns in the hopes people would think it's neons. The listing you're talking of is the one ...

Added a pretty interesting board today.

did you sell the Leading Edge? Still says pending

Oh yeah I did. oops.

Added my DC-2014.

Oh, cool, so many AT boards. Datacomp the best. I have noname blue alps kb in same case (pcb branded as interchip). Is this Datacomp have Cherry pcb? It seems it’s really cherry keycaps, not Taihao TH clones… The PCB was made by Datacomp so I'm assuming only the switches, stabs and keycaps were mad...

And with that I've taken a picture of everything in my collection that's in a state to be photographed. There's still some stuff that needs to be restored so I'll be posting those whenever I'm done restoring them and I'll also update it when I get new stuff.

Please what switch is this, and is there a wiki I could read abou tit? https://i.imgur.com/HNcMqye.jpg Kinda looks like Fujitsu Peerless but the hole is nearly square, not narrow like the alps cap mount, not round like the other Peerless I've seen album of the board: https://imgur.com/a/qCCJwC9 It'...

was it the board or the alps you didn't take to? Either's a controversial take :lol: I don't like Blue Alps as a switch, the DC-2014 is a great board though. oh? do tell I just don't like how it feels. I like my rounded switches on the heavier side and I find Blue Alps too light for me.

Very nice stuff, i didn't know about that chicony board before! I'm going to do a full documentation post about that one sooner or later. Originally I was going to do it when it's fully restored but I've been putting it off since the membrane is cooked and fixing membranes is a fairly long process....

Great board if you like Blue Alps but I learned early on it wasn't for me.

I don't like Blue Alps as a switch. the DC-2014 is a great board though.

I figured I should probably document my collection somewhere, so here it is. I'll be posting these in the order I got them. It's going to take a while to take pictures of everything so this will be updated as time goes on. Laser 2269 https://i.imgur.com/tofyfBE.jpg Album My first vintage keyboard ac...

Well this is quite the necro but I figured this is a appropriate place to post it. A Fujitsu Leaf Spring version of the HEKB01 was found a few months ago and I've finally gotten around to putting it in the database so I figured I'd share it here. here's the original listing on YAJ and a imgur album ...

Lowered the price again.

Price drop.

Added Data General N860-4735

WTS: Leading Edge DC-2014 w/ Waxed Blue Alps $150 + shipping PP FNF Sold https://i.imgur.com/hBXFfNH.jpg Switches are in pretty good condition I'd say, but this was one of the first boards I worked on and I messed up a couple of the clickleafs and springs so they were replaced by NOS White Alps. I ...

Some of you might know Beardmore's Fujitsu keyboard series database . In it he says "substantially more data is needed to get a clear picture." and after seeing the Cherry and IBM databases it got me wondering, why has no one made a larger Fujitsu keyboard database yet? So instead of doing nothing a...

I've been interested in Clicky Fujitsu stuff as of late and for a while now it's been bugging me that there's no sound test of Clicky FLS 1st Gen. The only thing I could find is a short video on the computer by a vintage computer Youtuber named RetroMels which had a small sample of the sound of the ...

A quote from the homepage of their website "As many of you have noticed, last week we had to suddenly withdraw availability of the Mini M. Unfortunately, as with a large number of companies that use electronics, our supply of processors used with the Mini M has not been available for two years. We f...

Oh yeah and I'm surprised I forgot about this but another really cool set would be IBM's airline reservation keycaps.

I don't know how many more keycap sets are planned on being made but I have a few suggestions for future ones. For the czech layout planned I was wondering if it maybe done the way IBM did it with front prints. Right now I don't think there are any sets with front prints on the alphas so I think doi...

Thanks for sharing I had no idea. Doesn’t seem to be much info about it.

There will be more info about it sooner or later. I have one I'm going to ship out from China in July and when it gets here I'll be documenting everything I can about it.

I've been keeping up with this on discord so it's nice to see it finally get to GB. I'll definitely be picking up a vintage set at some point.

[video] What the heck?!? :lol: Try as I might, I cannot make this happen on mine. I re-re-flashed the firmware just to be extra sure, then immediately loaded your layout file into my keyboard. When I hit my Backspace key using your layout where it is programmed for \, I get a \. And when I hit my \...

Edit: I don't know if this is a problem with your firmware or Vial but it seems like backslash and backspace are swapped, not as in the default layout but if I select a key to be backslash it's backspace and vice versa, not a huge issue since I can just swap what they say they are and it's normal b...

Sure I'd like to try Vial considering QMK and VIA don't seem to be working as intended. 'k. I'll make & post a complete updated release for everyone later, but for now, here is my latest Vial hex file for the F77. It defaults to the ANSI_0-9 layout, but as you mentioned that you have been using the...
