Re: My new project
This is such a nice project and it looks helpful for self taught tech people / software devs, since big procent of them learn boot-camp style and do not concentrate as much as they should on algorithms and data structures (me included) (Not that last 15 years wasn't just using libraries glued from o...

Re: Stuff you just bought
Just got a Cherry NCR G80-0528HAD for the equivalent of 10Eur. It is yellowed, most of the keycaps are shiny, clearly has been smoked around (it actually has a light smell), but it is unexpectedly clean (not really that much dirt or dust in it). https://i.imgur.com/Q7tGv2H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ab...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
That's an interesting combination of legends. It has some ASCII-bit-paired caps (e.g. ‘;’/‘+’ and ‘:’/‘*’) but also non-ASCII characters (‘¬’) and a Hollerith card combo (10-8-2, which had various interpretations, typically ‘±’ or ‘\’ or ‘⏨’). Shifted-6 would have been useful information (e.g. ‘&’ ...

You are on the right path. From my experience, the best cleaning product for glue, grease, grime, solder flux, is Isopropyl alcohol. Also it does not affect the plastic. I you recommend to first try it in a small patch to see if it has undesired effects. Regarding the rust, there are a lot of diy me...

There used to be the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L RGB and Pro S RGB (tkl). They are not in production anymore, but you might find some old-stock, or second hand. You also have the Das Keyboard 4Q You can also get a Realforce RGB, if you want to splurge on Topre. For 60%, there is the poker 3 RGB, ...

how comfortable are you with building one? Here is a nice read regarding building macropads using an Arduino (I think a ProMicro is also ok) to get you started
Or, you could try to find this ISO Enter Macropad (uses QMK) on r/mechmarket or GH classifieds or DT Marketplace

First of all, for ALPS keycaps you have to be extra careful. Here is a guide with images . I know, the guide shows a wire puller being used, but, if you can find some stiff and thin enough electrical wire (that you can fit between the keycaps), you can create a loop and then spin it to look like and...
