I've started considering this... again. Recently noticed that the arrow keys bottom out with a jarring plasticky impact which goes away when squeezing the plates together. A partial bolt mod seems like the most practical solution at the moment. I assume it's as easy as drilling where broken rivet w...

just got back...after 7 hours of cap pulling with two paid helpers and 4 movies I now have 67 "normal" and 31 "like new" sets ready. Will type up more invoices when my fingers feel better. Picture is about half of the caps. I also found several boards that have a cutout for a trackpoint, I will off...

there are tons of us wanting these sets. i don't think he's just gonna put people down cause they post here.

I like the clears I just got of biniris but the normal springs are too heavy and the brown springs sometimes don't bounce back up. Is there any other spring options? The stem not bouncing back is due to the leaf inside the switch housing. This happens a lot more on brand new boards because the leaf...

Update:

9 sets ready
3 like new/new sets ready. Writing invoices now. I will be offering the like new sets as an upgrade for an additional 15€, limit 1 per person.

How shiny are the ones that aren't like new?

There is an option for casr in the list that u need to pull down a bit,
$60

Pretty sure that is just a placeholder. We do not have cases yet. This was designed to fit in a filco case.

So there's a difference between dye subs and the new obtained. But how about between dye subs and cherry doubleshots? When they are that thick does pbt really make a $300+ difference?

Is there really a difference in feel betwen a full PBT dyesub set and a PBT lasered set? In the end i like the way that doubleshots look over everything else. They are thick and i'm 99% sure I can't tell the difference between them. IMO, the thickness matters the most (that's what she said). If you ...

Id be willing to bet browns were 1st simply cause they were bottoming out.

Seems like a crappy test when they only have 1 brown keyboard and multiples of blue and black.

Chances there will be any more of these available?

just call Jim once a week and harass him, he likes it

You know how CERN discovered neutrinos that go faster then the speed of light? Well all the SLOWER THAN ones are clustered in Lexington Kentucky right where Unicomp is located. Every so often I think Unicomp has discovered the secret to reversing time. I lol'd. I can't imagine a forum without you.

a nice find indeed. ANSI layout 1800s are ridiculously hard to find. i have a few of them in black with brand new black doubleshots if anyone is interested. feel free to PM me.

I don't own a Topre yet, not sure if I actually want one, but when I do get one, I want it to be uniform 45g or uniform 30g (still need to try that though) so I was just looking at options. I had no idea a swap like that was possible.

is only the normal typing area of a variable realforce variable? what are all the F keys, etc?

what the hell, add me for one set.

I asked a friend to order some from unicomp locally, but that still took 2 months, so be patient... Haha, yup. Basically, the bigger the order, the longer it takes for them to get on it. And then of course, the bigger the order, the more likely there is to be a mistake. And then if there is a mista...

I have one spare set of these caps since I managed to miscount those who had paid me. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

I've been told that -- perhaps -- purchasing a powered PS/2-USB adapter, which would allow the Model M to be plugged into the mobo as a USB device -- may improve overall speed. This proves that it is not a hardware issue. If the problem was still present in safe mode, then I'd say sure, try that ad...

What would it take to use one of these to get an old Wyse terminal boards working? I've wanted one of those working on a PC for a long time.

Don't worry guys. I personally know the guy that is handling this buy for 7bit and he is a stand up guy. It's delayed because Unicomp is slow on these kinds of orders. I've waited a few weeks just to have a $15 order shipped.

These were confirmed shipped today to me. They should be here on the 14th as long as weather doesn't interfere. I will get them packaged and shipped out within 2 days of them arriving.

I will take one of each as well.

Fast option to the US.

No chance you'd ship to the us?

just need 2 more people in on this before I can order these.

I ended up finding a few used M5-2s in working condition. They need some cleaning but seem to be in good condition with the trackballs functioning perfectly. I'm not really sure where to price them at though. In the last 4 months, I have never even seen an M5-2 sold on eBay. I found one that sold fo...

still need a couple more of these

is iMav planning on posting a group buy for these on geekhack?
