deskthority

I was going through my garage and found a donor board I bought so I had nice Alps switches to use on this.
I'm still sad that this never went ahead - I don't have the skills to do it myself, so, alas, 'tis dead.

This looks really interesting - up for 1x, please.

Yeah, I knew he was the OP - I hadn't seen the death notice you linked to, appreciated.

That’s a drop in the bucket. I’m sure even the Model M and F niche who would love some white on black caps is bigger than that, globally. But the trick is actually reaching them and getting enough of them to sign up.


...I claim no particular knowledge of how best to do this, but perhaps ...

Those look great!

Is there a reason to use Ubuntu? Wouldn't any *nix do?

I've just installed python3 and pip on Mavericks a few days ago without problems (needed a way to automatically convert some Excel files to more engine-friendly CSV data) so I'm wondering, if Macs running OS X could be used, too?

Moreover ...

All the more reason to go for this lovely set of colours for the buckling spring people... or beamspring, a broad church that’s getting broader!

Nice to see an up front approach - I hope the dude/tte is alright. Hats off for the amazing work so far!

Thank you, from Paradigm

I would like to thank you all for your continued interest. Unfortunately, I don’t have the bandwidth to continue with Paradigm.

If you are ...

Happy to test
Agree, I’m an ANSI user, but I know the guys in the UK suffer when ISO is left out.

Necropost - me too!

Totally in for buckling spring x2

It’s difficult to tell if you’re actually feeling aggrieved, or you’re just concern trolling. If it’s the latter, which I suspect, then I’m guilty of feeding the trolls. Damn.
If it is the former, here’s an idea: stop searching the world for thing to get upset about.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Buy one. Don’t buy ...

Or you could remap them, see here: viewtopic.php?p=468593#p468593

I'll be doing these and working out which is best for me.

Very promising! IC filled in.

I am very keen for this too - I check his site once a month just to make sure I haven’t missed out. Looks so good, it’d be a shame if it doesn’t go ahead.

Very cool.

Keen.

Hey @ellipse, I just checked backward a few pages through to late March, and on the website. Maybe I missed the obvious update!
No issues, no hurry, but do you have a rough estimate of when the keyboards with printed keys will perhaps head out from sunny USA?
Again, no stress, just wondering.
Stay ...

Got mine. Thanks!

Amazing.
I have no useful skills in this arena, and am sorry that all I can add is that, so long as it remains a 65% (ie. arrows are part of it) then I will help you with the consumption end of the project.
Consider me an MOQ Contributor!

Pity there's never a detailed back story to these keyboards.

Would love to know which factory they were used in and when. Imagine buying a keyboard that was once used inside Ferrari, Boeing or NASA.

The Sellers could make extra on hardware without even realizing it ;) .


Heh, Elrick, does ...

Wow, that's nice!
Congratulations, it must feel pretty good to get that first one out the door

I purchased the low serial option as well, and sure, it'd be lovely to get this awesome keyboard(s) as soon as possible, but I'm not going to die in a ditch over it. Send it whenever, it looks like being an amazing bit of kit :D

Ellipse, thanks for running an amazing project so far!

Everyone ...

All good - make ‘em so they last a lifetime

Keyboards eventually, puppies first!

Hey @pizza_is_a_lie, just checking if this is still happening?

I’ve ordered a bunch - thanks for the heads up!

Bluetooth wireless keyboard option?

Someone just messaged me the following option for a wireless Model F and I was wondering if anyone has looked into it:
The Handheld Scientific BT-500 Bluetooth Adapter for Keyboard & Mouse:

Using this adapter, removed from its case ...

Cool - following this with interest for my first Alps board!

Good point - correct terminologies are important. Low serial number upgrade indeed for this Australian.
