Re: Vector editor for keyboard plate design

Manual plates I draw in qcad, using reference dxfs as needed for switch types. Or, I generate the plate dxf from swills tool sites (cap layout first, export to the plate builder), then edit as needed (if needed) in qcad.

Re: Mini M easy lock light mod to change from blue to green using yellow vinyl headlight film

If you make 3 seperate stacks of film vs one, with more black tape between, you'd get less light bleed.

Re: Don't you feel like DT is dying?

I'm guilty of being very active on both DT and GH for a while a few years ago, then stepping away. Just happens cause hobbies shift or 'life happens'. I was very busy with work for a solid 2 years, had 'all' of the keyboards I wanted in hand, so didn't spend as much time here. But I am glad the foru...

Re: Active USB to PS/2 adapter?

Maybe start here https://github.com/10110111/usb2ps2conv This sounds promising, but I don't have the knowledge to source parts for that...plus a case... Overall the best partial solution, I'd say, though. Hardware is easy. The ref'd board is in stock at amazon, the rest can come from mouser, digike...

Nope, not mine, but I thought about making one before. I have PS2 boards though, so never got around to it.

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

Seriously though, the 104 bottom row and ANSI field 'makes sense', since most all key caps 'will just work' (though I prefer 1.5x mods / 7x spacebar on the bottom row). Also for ISO or HHKB layouts, beamspring is not near as modular as Model M or F, without custom keycaps and 'blank' switches (diff ...

Unicomp is good folks. Would love to get my employer to order a couple hundred thousand boards from them. The noise of a few hundred Model Ms clicking away on each floor in each building all over the world would be awesome.

My F62 has the same mold line, inside and out. Contemplating sandblasting it, filling it, sanding it smooth and re-powder coating; but no rush. Debating replacing the foam as well, to match whats in my F107. Or, I could just leave it as for a few years until a refurb...

Yup, giving it a try as is. Seems to be fine. I just recall having issues with my F107, and having to ensure the usb shield was grounded.

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

The usb cable shield is not grounded to the case on my F62 that just came in. I'd expect ghosting issues like this. The cable is RF choked as well, which I do not need on my F107. I'd suggest a 90 degree usb C connector for the controller, so it's not squished in there. https://i.postimg.cc/qMBHFWHk...

Easiest to use KLE, then export that to swills plate tool to create the DXF, then open in an editor to confirm / clean up / modify if needed.

Rather than a slavish reproduction of a beamspring model with all of its height and layout quirks, we need a modern reinvention of that switch in a smaller form factor. All of the fantastic typing feel, and none of the drawbacks. Easy for me to say, since I have no idea how to accomplish it! :D A b...
