Those first generation MY switches are in fact rather pleasant to type on, they have nothing in common with the horrible white ones which Cherry chose to replace them with.
Probably some Youtube "influencer" out there would even rate them better than MX black switches

Here are two pics I took long ago: Just taken 2 pics, first one with top part of case lifted, second one with complete plate assembly also lifted: https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=18259 https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=18260 Hope it helps. […] And for your information, GMK of...

I do have a G80-3000 LSMDE (MX blue switches and purple PS/2 connector).
Given the noise it generates, I would gladly get rid of it

Liking the 2 u delete key, by the way. Fuck insert, it's anti-useful! Sorry to have to again disagree. It toggles between Overwrite and Insert modes in Word, but also in other programs where it is even more useful. If you ever had to write/edit film subtitles (where each line has a maximum length),...

I have already sold quite a few caps from the G81-3000 SAD missing two caps I bought a few years ago at a local flea market, but the left Shift is still there :mrgreen: Of course original Cherry dyesub, black on beige, 1.25u with centered stem, excellent condition. In memory of our last transaction,...

Wow, an IBM Model F107

The bottom row appears to be somehow disaligned.

[…] Indeed. Plenty of the "old" layouts still have the non-combining versions for reasons that were defensible "back in the day", but not anymore... and the layouts don't ever get revised. […] Ahem… 5 of 16 posts in the following thread just 2 weeks ago were yours: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic...

The old typematrix was cheaply made and there were some questionable choices made regarding stabilizers, but the layout is fairly decent for touch typing. In particular, the claim that "hands are still in the same position" and there's "no ergonomic benefit" is just plain wrong, and your whole rant...

Going the other way round, I have been using a Wyse keyboard cable as a telephone handset cable for years.

Fwiw, I wouldn’t buy the Kate Spade bag, they don’t accept return-s.

Obviously the difference between depletedvespene and me is that he doesn't speak French while I have been typing French texts on an AZERTY keyboard on a daily basis for, hem, decades. This, of course, does not mean that all his critics are to be dismissed, but some appear simply dumb when looked at ...

Somehow this thread reminds me of depletedvespene's thread " A proposal for a new, (hopefully) better French national layout " where he (as the discussion showed) very correctly started with the following statement: First, a disclaimer: I am not French and I don't know anything about anything. Now, ...

Should you consider selling the caps, I would be interested.

Please, please re-implement the search function for PMs!

Still not being able to search my PMS is becoming a serious hindrance.

Ah Kbdfr..you are lifesaver. Shall I PM you?

Yes, please.

I can offer 150 new original Tipro light grey relegendable keycaps with transparent lids
shipped to the UK (as a registered letter, i.e. tracked and insured) in a sturdy cardboard box for 20€.

I seem to have neglected this thread :D Found that pic on my computer, probably downloaded from an ad years ago: KB-128.JPG So your keyboard is a KB-128, and as Lanrefni wrote, probably an older Protech version. You can find the programming manual online (in German), but it will probably not be much...

[…] point out that it is better to have modifiers easily reachable by thumbs than trying to stretch pinkies for them. […] Would look less biased if instead of " trying to stretch " you had simply written " stretching " pinkies for modifiers :lol: As a matter of fact, using your pinkies is simply a ...

[…] @kbdfr: Well, if you use keyboard a little then I can agree that ergonomics is not important. But it is nice to have ergonomic keyboard since it is more comfortable. People who touch type (almost half of the deskthority users) do not need to hunt modifier keys with pinkies. And when one is not ...

Nonsense. […] If you are already devoting your time to design a new layout then at least do something sensible. Something your hands will thank you for in the log run by not developing disorders from excessive keyboard use ... or developing them later at least. That means left/right split design, m...

Do you intend to harvest the switches?
