it did look interesting with all those crazy legends !

could very well be, but why would they have their logo on their tablets and not on their keyboards ?
Sometimes I am really surprised how little information you can find online about the lesser known brands: there is hardly anything on Pericom, or that is what Duckduckgo tells me at least..

:lol: funny difference in coolness between vintage hairdo's and keyboards ! Don't know about the keyboard but it looks like a Summagraphics puck in his left hand and a Bit Pad (or some equivalent) in the right. Maybe re-branded to Pericom? For some reason the guy reminds me of Neil Buchanan - might ...

I came accross this nice stock photo, that still sees some use.
What is this keyboard that ages so gracefully ?

great reviews ! I had been looking at that ITAC professional, but didn't get it because of the lack of scrollwheel. I use a CST, but like mr_a500 I noticed the DT225 is smoother, but then that one doesn't have a scrollwheel either. And precision-wise, I found that using a trackball is a skill that y...

A standing desk is a great idea, first time I saw them was at the beginning of this very thread, thanks for reminding. I'm thinking of moving my home working space elsewhere, and there I will give it a try for sure !

makes me curious how many of these have now been built !
I suppose xwhatsit knows how many pcb's have been produced in total..

When I'm done I will have at least one spare to sell too !

Wow - Volker Craig! That's awesome. (Canadian too!) I think you need to rearrange your desk though. You don't want that lovely Volker Craig keyboard slipping off the desk. yes, was super happy to find it, still waiting for the user's guide though: impossible to find anything on this particular mode...

!

moved from 'opening a terminal' to 'switching on a terminal' !
( a Volker-Craig 4152 terminal from around 1980, vt52-compatible)

I've ordered from them a couple of times and mostly it's super rapido; this is the first time this happens !
I guess I should simply be more careful to check their stock before ordering, I thought I did....
Ordered elsewhere now, will arrive on Monday..

:( still waiting for the atmega chip, after more than a month ! I ordered this one http://nl.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=1748524 which has been on back order for all this time and farnell tells me it will not be available until end of April, which is ridiculous. Was sort of busy rec...

hey wow, that is a good find, bravo !
Now the next question is where we can buy one !

my question too !!

On this page I've posted a diagram (a page or two down) with my recognition theories: http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/hi-tek-vs-stackpole-t7092.html I did not find any more branding when I reopened the case of this keyboard, so I am not sure this will be of any help, but anyway some more pictur...

verrrrry nice board ! (and sad story..)

Interesting to see the similarities with the Commodore and SP doubleshots, and also I wasn't aware of the Hi-Tek versus Stackpole question. If I have time tomorrow I will open it again and see if there are any clues I overlooked on the plastic part that holds the switches; but I think I would have i...

top.JPG My most recent find is a DEC vt100 terminal keyboard, from I believe 1980. I keep trying to find keyboards that are a bit older than that, but that is not that easy (without spending loads of money on shipping, since such boards rarely show up on this side of the pond, for some reason). Thi...

drool ! drool !

nice-looking keyboard and caps ! is that plate plastic or metal ?

paid!

clear !

I think is not broken, because there is another one also "non-clickey": http://www.ebay.de/itm/261395715066?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 see the description, second paragraph... see the second to last picture: Says Oak switch systems :) I asked the seller to put up a picture o...

Hasu has experimental Kishsaver converter support in his TMK firmware now. It's not perfect (as it polls quite slowly and can miss repeated letters) but it's a great bit of detective work that gets around the missing break codes problem that these beasts share. Well worth hooking up and trying it o...

aha, it seems I've been missing the updates on the teensification of this beauty, expecting them to show up in the Workshop subforum; i'm too square !
great paint job !

wow, that is super inspiring to see !
and both of your cases look absolutely stunning !

I'm actually waiting for my batch of toshiba keycaps, because I wanted to attempt something slightly similar, using the plate of my Dell as a starting point to make a 60% board..

great !

Great pictures !

[offtopic]So why does it say 'Krankenversichertenkarte' on a keyboard ?[/offtopic]

wow, that is an inspiring picture, very clever to use band cable in that way !
Planning to make a portable 60% Alps keyboard and i am going to attempt the day-version for that I think..

Seems someone did see the light with the industrial SSK hitting $1100 lately...: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Personal-System-2-Space-Saving-Keyboard-Model-M-Clicky-PS-2-New-Box-/131110156558 Doesn't have a badge though. And I leave it up to you IBM experts to decide whether this is an original one,...

Hey Muirium, I will certainly update you if I make any progress. I tend to be overoptimistic about how much (or how little) time things take, and first on the keyboardmanialist is to make xwhatsit's converter and try and get that beamspring working, but this board is too nice to not actually use. (O...
