Haven’t noticed a problem with the space bar since.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to debug this somehow.

I got my F77 in July 2020 so it’s been a little over two years; since I’m sharing an office I don’t always use my loudest keyboard but I’ve probably used it about a third of the time. I was expecting to see some degradation or chipping of the paint, but so far at least it’s looking as good as new. ...

Does anyone happen to know why spacebar wire keeps hitting some of my keys such as X and : on Model F62? I can't seem to figure this out at all. Wire is placed correctly inside of those metal clips as well. This doesn't happen on my IBM M SSK when I swap them. Spacebar is original but I have dyed i...

I finally got my hands on F62 keyboard! I didn't join this project directly in the past because it was still too expensive for me to do so. I found a person who was willing to sell this keyboard which was still unopened. It came with first aid kit as a bonus. springyboba.jpg IMG_20220721_220415.jpg ...

Damn, a modded HHKB2. I had a same kind of setup in the past but without that granular mat and I had different colored keycaps. Is this still for sale? I live in Finland and I'm interested to know about the shipping price as well. Cheers. EDIT. I will cancel my offer. I bought a more recent HHKB re...

Voted for The Impostor. That board contains a look that reminds me a bit about video games as well. Also, Control and Caps_Lock are swapped, that's a wonderful thing. Might work as a daily driver just fine.

Interestingly enough I got this keyboard to work on my friend's computer. Also I got Orihalcon's SDL to USB cable combined with Soarer's converter and this WORKS! I almost lost all of my hope because this thing didn't work on so many computers. This is life

Those flat ribbon cables can be troublesome so I would start there.

Thanks for the info. It seems they're easy to take off with careful wiggling.

I found your post in the EU GB thread; you should definitely also make sure you have an active PS/2-USB adapter. Cheap 2-3 USD ones apparently won't do. Yeah. I need to confirm that. According to a local shop comments this should work on Model M keyboards. This makes me to wonder my PS/2 alone didn...

Do you have a full-size Model M keyboard with compatible controller? You could try performing a controller swap; if the SSK works then, it's likely that there's an issue with the original controller. This is my first Model M keyboard and I don't have any spare parts available. Would have been a nic...

I bought a bolt modded IBM M SSK keyboard a while ago from a group buy. I can't seem to make this to work at all. I confirmed that this board has been working normally via elecplus before shipment. I've written information down in to the group buy thread and I contacted directly elecplus as well. I...

Got my IBM M SSK yesterday; seems to be in a nice condition. I had to pickup this from local Posti so it wasn't far away to get. There are little dents on the left and right side of the board but that's minor :) I can't seem to get this to work via my PS/2 to USB controller. I need to get an another...

To those who have received theirs: Was the shipment handled by a local organization in your countries or was it handled by Hermes? Nothing has happened to my package during the last 10 days :( I'm starting to wonder if this is a classic case of Posti losing a tracked package for a week or two befor...

That price surprised me a bit. Well, time to pay.

EDIT1. Payment done!

GO GO GO!

all weights taken . Who was it who wanted to know how much it weighs before i ship ? Who was it who had the solar panel ? Yo. I believe it was a user called Pansku if I remember correctly. I'm also interested in this. I'm the one with a bolt modded IBM M SKK. I believe 2-3kg is pretty close though.

If the shipping weight of my Wyse crosses a certain threshold (often 2kg) where the shipping costs skyrocket, is it possible that you send the "filet" only? I think it was wodan who used that term for the PCB + switches (+plate). Ah, right. We're both from the same country and that's pretty true. G...

it's our beloved electronics master elecplus I'm getting this from. I was in talks with elecplus about perhaps shipping some keyboard stuff to me. If that happens, I am willing to bounce your stuff to you from here if you guys arrange to get it to me. This sounds quite a thing and I would be please...

Is it a vintage keyboard, and would it be possible to have it declared on the customs form as a collector's item? Here in Sweden, I think the toll+tax is even worse for "electronics" but the toll rate for "collectible" is 0%, so that I would have to pay only tax. The items I have received declared ...

It's been a while. I've hit an issue I can't really know how to avoid. I'm getting an expensive keyboard from a certain member here and it's being shipped from TX. Finland, the country where I live have pretty strict customs and I have to pay a hell a lot of money for the procedure ie. 12% + 24% = ~...

Wahoo! Got the thing today as well.

PM sent

I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in!

Woohoo, they came!

EDIT1. Oh boy.. took a few hours to complete this thing with cleaning. I'm not sure do I even need to lube these because these feel pretty damn good. I'll fiddle with lubing later if I ever need to use it for these

Wh-what the heck, a thing like this exists..

Yeah, this is a bit hackish and I'm a shady hot glue user. If if I ever run in to a trouble I'm willing to clean things and make this mounting even better. Thanks for the info!

Hey! I had some spare Teensy clones aka. Pro Micros to fiddle with and I decided to make a AT to USB mod with NTC KB-6851EA keyboard. NTC stands for NAN TAN COMPUTER CO. and it seems to be from Taiwan. I like how keys are arranged on the board and it makes the layout even more obscure yet delicious....

I got everything to work! I re-soldered and heated some pins that had some brown stuff around them, it seems it was corrosion after all
