Your english is pretty good. Welcome to deskthority.

thats not a model f, If you bought it as one id ask for my money back. metalic ping is suppost to be there.

I only have fullsized model m's but I would be interested in one of the prototype pcb's. If they work, this would be an awesome design.

compgekes wpm is approximately 112 when tested in 10fastfingers though realistically he hovers around 90. Sincerely, Your friendly neighborhood stalker.

My 107 key 4704 board has atleast 3 different types of flippers. The most interesting ones being smooth plastic instead of rough.

I keep somewhat regular contact with DerpyDash_xAD. Infact I was messaging him not long ago, Ill go ahead and tell him to send you a PM.

The actuation force from m to f while not very much lower makes a huge difference.(atleast going from bolt modded m to 4704 board) What year is your model m? Early model m's feel pretty good, they kinda feel worse after 1987. And unicomp boards do indeed have a slightly softer feel to them with a ve...

Ive got a friend looking for a somewhat custom keyboard. Essentially he thinks mx blacks are great but abit light. So, the absolute cheapest/ easiest option here for him seems to be that I need to find an mx black board that's pcb mounted, and a bunch of 100g springs. Any suggestions as to some keyb...

Alright, Ill number them as soon as i figure out the syntax of which we are numbering. Ill take pictures of a chopped up 88 barrell. They are a weird brown-grey color instead of black or grey.

I really dont think pictures of model f flippies out of my my 107 key would do much.

Ibm used a different plastic on model m barrels made in 1988.

Keyboard refurbishers would sometimes put springs with flippers in the stabilized slots on ibm 4704 keyboards.

Your lucky! I had all sorts of corrosion all over the barrel of my board. Looks great!

Honsetly from all the model m's and f's Ive tried I believe that the scratchiness truly lies in how heavily used it is. I have an m5-2 thats almost new and feels super scratchy. However many of my other model m's which have seen more use seem smoother. I would like to think its from the plastic key ...

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Has anyone tried retrobrighting then white vinyl dye on those? I think it would come out great. Plus the original texture would still be intact.

Kishsaver is love. Kishsaver is life.
It's all Kishsaver now.

Does what your using support gpu rendering? If so try it.

Time to post my screw & bolt modded SSK here! Using this keyboard now for about one and a half month, and every other keyboard related project is postponed for a while. I definitely have to post some pictures of the screw & bolt mod, since i learned a lot and even if there are zillions of guides ou...

For the plastic try loctite repair extreme all temperature. It works complete wonders on model m barrels and cracked laptops. Its says all temp but works best at 70 degrees f or above it also takes 24 hours to set and doesn't stick to electrical tape. Honestly its one of my favorite adhesives becaus...

This was a weird beam spring that was totally broken. The bottom right keys were arrow keys, very dark, above that was numbers. The housing was cracked in 2, most of the keys were gone. I have no idea how you would break the housing on these heavy old things. I should have scrounged the caps! Any o...

Theres actually 2 model m's in that picture! If I lived in texas instead of Wisconsin I would certainly volunteer to help!

If you want a classic mechanical keyboard just get a classic mechanical keyboard! go with an ibm model m for $50 Browns do not feel at all like older tactile mechanical keyboards. Mostly linear with a little scratch that is barely noticeable. Mx greens would be the most like the classic tactile alps...

My crappy phone really cant capture the purple font etc, But heres some pics! http://i.imgur.com/WcIvDty.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yGf4hle.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FCZCSUA.jpg It definitely overpowers my 15.6 inch lappy! Im keeping the original connector because Hasu's converter and that dfj (with help f...

Hey, Im restoring mine aswell! Thought id share a few quick snaps but my camera is to crappy and no good light source was near. Ill try in the morning! Besides opening it to check for corrosion Ive only switched the yellowed and rusted connector for a brand new one from on of these: http://www.ebay....

More like 50%

Ive got a 95 terminal board that has all rivets intact and I will say It does feel different from other model years but it is one of my only model m's with all rivets intact. Also the model ms from wheelwriters should be mentioned. Without modification they are significantly clickier and louder than...

Thanks! Its a really nice keyboard that may need a bolt mod in the future because its a bit wobbly. I am absolutely in love withe the keycaps. Its certainly one of my favorite model m styles.

According to the wiki this keyboard was made for airline use. Its purple font keycaps are awesome, and though its slightly damaged i love the 10ft remote desktop cable. Definitely worth the $30! This is also the 2nd model m to appear on my local craigslist in about 3 years. The seller of this keyboa...
