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.

QC is generally pretty good but ...

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. While it's certainly not the same experience as buckling spring, of course, it is a nice snappy tactile swi...

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!
