Re: IBM 3277 beamspring keyboard

Didn't you get a 5251 from another community member for a very good price then you slagged them after the case got damaged in shipping even though they were shipping you a replacement case? And after all that you were looking to sell it before you even got the replacement case... <SNIP> So what's c...

Re: My Alps64 with orange SKCM is disappointing

I really like the AEK/AEK2 chassis for what it is sound wise. Always been happy with the Apple boards as stock. My favorite is probably the IIgs keyboard with SMK switches, though.

Re: Apple Newton Keyboard - The time Apple turned to IBM/Lexmark for a Model M derivative

Hey thanks for the shout out! If anyone has any further questions about the converter I'm happy to answer. With regards to trying IBM Buckling Sleeves, I definitely think they are worth a try.

Re: Project Log: 3D Printed, "Double Shot," Spherical Buckling Spring Keycaps

I would love some alternative keycaps for my Mini M (and possibly other buckling spring keyboards)!

I will be following along, and good luck with the project!
