I use an adb to usb converter with Hasu's firmware and remapped the Caps Lock with LCtrl in the firmware. I removed the white locking latch in the switch so that the locking mechanism is disabled. Ctrl works perfectly (on Windows, Linux and Mac OS) without having to butcher the PCB nor having to use ...

In terms of pure numbers, the Apple Extended II has a fair old following as well. It must have sold a few million during the years it (and the first one) were available, bundled with new Macs. You could be right: the more people that owned them new, the more the reputation today.

I have 2 Model F XT's, and have had a couple M's (101 key) in the past. As the posters mentioned above, the F is much louder, the keystroke is much crisper, sharper, and more staccato like in sound. The M still sounds and feels pretty good, but after using the Model F, the M feels a little cheap ...

Mr. Interface has a great tutorial on youtube. All the soldering he did was tinning the wires. He plugged the tinned wires into a solderless breadboard. Rather than a converter box, he put electrical tape around the hold apparatus. Kind of ghetto, but it looked pretty easy. I'm in the process of ...

Shawn, you have got to be trolling! That keyboard is the worst piece of shit I've ever owned. I didn't realise at the time that Apple makes notably awful keyboards compared to the rest of their stuff. It was my first real disappointment with them after switching in 2003. Fortunately, it remains my ...

I use a couple of old Apple Pro Keyboards, the ones with the clear case that shows all sorts of s hit that gets in the crevices. Despite the trashing of this keyboard on Geekhacks.org, I like it. I use one on my Windows Vista machine. The volume up/down/mute are functional. Instead of the Windows ...

That's always been one of my favorite keyboards. The key action is the next best thing to beam springs, maybe even better in some regards. When I used to use that keyboard daily, I got in the habit of rotating my right hand and hitting the return key with the side of my pinky. You can do it fast ...

Can someone suggest a very easy, solderless, technique to build a converter? I don't have a lot of tools (no soldering iron, wire stripper, etc.) and don't want to purchase a lot as I may be moving from my home soon. Also, I'm a novice with electronics, and have very minimal skills with soldering ...

I've enjoyed the Logitech mice I had. Previously, I used one an MX600. I has backward/forward buttons, and volume up/down. The buttons are customizable. The keyboard broke down, and Logitech had pretty good customer service. They exchanged it for a MK710 Keyboard/Mouse. The second Logitech mouse is ...
