No, 14 is still too big. Need 10.

AT cable is the one on the left, it's a 5-pin DIN cable on the other end.

You can also confirm this by just looking to see where the wire goes, as the cable just runs right through the case.

One thing to keep in mind with this: You'll need to make custom adapters for each row. MX keys are designed to make a curve on a flat board whereas Buckling Springs are designed to make a curve on a curved board.

Black casing with white on black keycaps could be nice if you wanted to render that.

Or you can just save time and get a Model M! :D Alright, you don't have to, a lot of people don't like how loud they are. They don't, however, loose their legends or get shiny and are fairly cheap. Regarding the original question, I wouldn't worry too much about the shine. Unless you work in the mid...

I actually almost bought one of the plastic IBM stands, no computer in it, just the shitty keyboard. Kind if wish I could've moved it, was only $5.

I find it interesting that you got banned for using a VPN, unless it's a public one or something. I use one to get around the school web filter and I've never been banned.

I still find it depressing how little progress we've achieved in the last 10 years, being as I still have a couple Dell Inspirons that weren't even high end with 1920x1200 15" displays, yet a modern 15" laptop seems to be coming with a 1366x768 display which is what I would expect in 2006, not 2013....

I've decided it's about time to clean this thing, but before I did that I wanted to take some pictures of it, better than the ones I posted on geekhack back in February. Please excuse the soft focusing, this Canon T4i I'm borrowing has the worst autofocus I've ever seen. http://goput.it/0ts.jpg http...

Eh, why not?

Oh don't worry, two isn't anything; I own three and none have USB controllers .

I would also like to nominate ebay sellers. A lot of them are the worst kind of people - ones that over value everything by about 9002% Not only that, you also find ebay sellers who think it's appropriate to pack your $200 keyboard in a plastic bag and shove it in a flat rate box with no extra paddi...

I'm a fan of the IBM 3278 full size board. A 3278 board has quite a nice feel to the switches, as well as the strength to survive the zombie duck apocalypse, something that not many keyboards can do.

Woo hoo! Seems I'm able to go tomorrow!

Anyone want to trade a random Cherry MX keyboard they have, any one, any switch as long as it has key caps and is PS/2 or AT? I have two Model M 122s and 3 83-key Model Fs I could trade.

I'm a bit odd in that I actually quite like the Alps Plate Spring switch that's used in the PS/2 P70. My only complaint is the PS/2 P70 has a raised keyboard without plate mounted switches, making for a very flexible keyboard.

This thing didn't actually make it to production thankfully, but that Talons Keyboard that showed up on Kickstarter. Many issues with it such as the major issue: momentary push button switches instead of keyboard switches. Typing on that thing would be hell, I would rather just not type at all than ...

I strongly believe that xwhatsit's Beamspring USB controller is one of the best mods of the year. Making a beamspring board work on a modern computer has been a major issue for a while, with lots of work put into it and he has not only made it work on USB, but he also has working NKRO and doesn't de...

Personally a fan of the APL Keycaps on the Beamspring board mr_a500 has. Not only are they awesome looking, they're triple shot; something that not many companies do when secondary text.

I'm not yet of the legal drinking age here, so does root beer count? If not I can try again with Ginger Ale and probably fail again.

Something interesting that just showed up on the classiccmp mailing list here, a 3278 (Beamspring) to PS/2 controller\adapter. The interesting part of this one is it isn't a controller replacement, but something that goes on the end of the existing controller. A link: http://www.ibmsystem3.nl/IBM327...

And that's why you should buy a 49 port hub.

San Francisco is a lot better for me, as I'm only 50 miles from San Francisco and 87 miles from San Jose.

Almost younger than most of you - 16, 17 in early January.

At least I know I'm one of the three that's voted so far under 17.

I didn't send any special messages and I'm #40 on the list, marked as received.

While not really center or multi-touch capable, or even ergonomic, a Cherry G80-11900 has a trackpad and is a better board than a rubbermush.

Aww man. Has to be quality. *puts back the Digital Mavica*

Well guys, I managed to get number 0040. Nice to have an even number.

There are a couple problems I can think of with 3D printing these right away: 1.) You would need to design them vertical, with the cherry mount down. This here is to make sure that you get a somewhat round side on the IBM side and to make sure overhang doesn't kill the design. 2.) Making sure that y...

Welcome to Deskthority, although I am going to say now that no one will stop anyone from flaming here.

This place generally has a better attitude though, unlike the other side of the keyboard world at Geekhack...

I wouldn't be too worried about what camera you guys have; I use a Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) that's 9 years old and a Canon Speedlite 199A or old Vivitar flash from the 80s and I get halfway decent results using guess-n-check exposure.
