Also surprisingly smooth although you can feel and hear the contact leaf scratch against the stem. Despite using the same cross mount they don't fit regular Cherry...

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

[...] I had a similar problem with the keys above the arrow keys, albeit with VIA, not QMK. They neither showed up in VIA's matrix tester, nor in the layout tester. In my case I just flashed the wrong VIA .hex-file, namely the one with the nav cluster instead of the numpad. Maybe you flashed an HHK...

Re: Any capacitive keyboards with ISO (nor) layout out there?

You could go the complicated route by buying an HHKB JP (JIS layout) and replacing the controller with one from hasu to reprogram it to be closer to ISO. You'd also need to replace the sliders with MX sliders (e.g. from deskeys ) and put on aftermarket keycaps. Also you'd just have a 60% keyboard wi...

Re: Operation typewriter to keyboard (alps skff)

If the PCB is desoldered already why not go the extra step and create a custom layout with the keys you have and get a plate laser cut for that?
As it looks you could get pretty close to a somewhat standard 60% layout.

Nice board, btw! I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while now.

SPRiT sells some Alps springs: https://www.spritdesigns.com/product-page/alps

This might depend on the place, way and material you get your plate cut, but I ordered a lasercut steel plate based on a plate generated by http://builder.swillkb.com/ a few weeks ago and the GMK stabs I used fit quite snug. They need a little bit of force to mount and won't come out on accident, so...

Re: Decision Data Computing Corp. Model C1410A#ABA

Since a DIN5-to-PS/2 adapter is only a electrical pass through and doesn't contain any logic it would only change the pins you need to use from the respective connector. Maybe your keyboard doesn't speak a protocol Soarers Converter understands?
