Looking for another alps board, since mine is in really bad condition. Probably won't buy, but if you have a really good deal I might dig up some cash. Just interested about the prices. Thanks.

Yeah I was thinking about using a modern MCU, the problem is that I have no idea how to map out the matrix. Can I just use the existing solder pads from the Intel MCU and just solder the teensy or the pico on that? I mean the pico and the old intel controller are both 40 pin. LOL. My car and a Ferr...

I checked my connections 15 times over, i also re-soldered the wires. It's most likely dead. If i were to find a replacement controller, would just replacing it work, or will i have to program it somehow?

I got this keyboard from ebay in working condition, but because I didnt have a proper adapter for the din5 interface I made my own really janky din5 to ps2 adapter and it worked fine. Because I wasn't planning to keep using my abomination of an adapter I ordered one through aliexpress. Last night I ...
