Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

That is an admirable effort by you, for sure. I believe that Joe should be pressured into doing repairs like that. However, since Joe does not face any sort of repercussions for not providing services after you agree to his terms of sale on the website, I'm afraid repeating the same 3 points over ...

[WTS] Lot of 10 boards | ALPS, Keytronic F&F, FLS 3, NMB, etc.

These have just been sitting in my basement collecting dust as of recently, looking to get them to a better home where they'll be used. I have posted this on various discord marketplaces, so that's why my @ is in the timestamp.

All lightly used by me, the Zenith is the only one that got over a ...

I would reply to the whole keycap mold response by saying that just because doubleshots are an option does not mean you have to use them. You can easily just go with dye-sub PBT if that means that the keycap set for your own product is complete. It's effectively just as durable, nobody will wear ...

Can't wait for my B122 to arrive! But, in the meantime, I figured I'd share some info with everyone who might have had the same problem as me when it came to finding keycaps for the board.

The F13-F24 keys and the 10-key macro cluster on the board don't officially have any keycaps in the set that ...

Re: Harris Computer Systems KB-23B (Keytronic Foam and Foil)

Update:

I just noticed while putting the board back together that it actually has either a solenoid or a buzzer to receive status codes from the computer. Too bad the keyboard doesn't actually work when i plug it in, so I wouldn't be able to showcase it.

On the note of it not working with an at/xt ...

Interesting. Are you sure those are Keytronics? They look similar but the inside well of the slider isn't usually that smooth. They look a bit more like the KT dome with sliders I have.


Well, you never can be too sure if they're not just some knockoff clone switch I suppose. But the switches ...

Harris Computer Systems KB-23B (Keytronic Foam and Foil)

https://i.imgur.com/uGm4iWy.jpeg

I just picked up this Harris KB-23B off eBay last week.

I didn't know what it was, and neither did the seller. It wasn't on the wiki either, so I decided to purchase it because it seemed like a neat F122-style-layout keyboard. Considering that it had that layout ...

Yellows are great. Really I think the whole first gen SKCM/SKCL being better than all the newer stuff is a bit overblown.. Condition matters far more than anything. I'll take a clean white alps board over a dirty blue alps board any day of the week.

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Does anyone know what this is, or at least what switches it uses? To me it looks to be some variant of F/Fs or domes.

The keyboard has no ID or serial number on the outside, and the seller has no idea what it is besides the obvious Harris manufacturer.

Should I? It's $90 + 25 shipping. I'm 99% sure its rubber domes but that old wireless transmitter and the layout are so cool!

Zenith ZKB-2 (Alps SKCL Yellows)

Another eBay purchase. Very expensive but overall I like it. I was sorta bummed out at first that it didn't come with greens, but I've found that I like yellows and don't think their weighting is particularly overpowering for me.
