Ellipse, have you got a working prototype? I am wondering what happens if the keyboard doesn't work? Since I've heard that the capacitance values are very different even if you change the case by a little...

Edit: I mean, I'm very excited but this thought just popped up in my mind.

Just came across this thread. Marking to read later.

Any update?

It appears that JTK has already got topre sliders. I'm waiting for the first batch which should ship end of the month, I think. And from the group buy it seems they're only $15 or so for a set of 104...

I'd need the hhkb style for the f62.

I'm still waiting for my refund, 7bit.

Vizir - I am trying to make the powdercoating like on the original 4704 keyboards. Here's an example of the F77 texture and original color. The white balance is off in this photo. For the gray color I hope to approximate RAL 7030 gray like in the Kishsaver of a fellow DT member: http://deskthority....

Would it be possible to see the powder coating and the brushed/anodized colors? I think a visual might help, if it is possible.

I'd be down for one.

If this venture is successful, I'm thinking making designs like in the renders would be possible. Perhaps someday even a split ergo.

how difficult would it be to make a case like the renders linked by Muirium

I'm in. Why is vortex the only option for double shot pbt? Why can't others do it?

Why not replicate the beamspring keycaps?

It's not just the mount height and style. The geometry of the caps are substantially different. The IBM caps are actually somewhat rectangular and the key top is offset. The solution is limited to factory OEM caps or specific aftermarket caps for the IBM buckling spring. OEM style caps can be sourc...

And if someone is going to do that, I'd suggest that the caps be MX compatible.

$215 for the 55g 87u with one each of the pbt spacebar colors. $205 for the variable force 87u with one each of the pbt spacebar colors.

Make each key the whole length of the keyboard

I agree! Although, IMO, the hhkb jp layout with smaller space and more keys is even better.

So vintage high profile on modern mounts. Brilliant. And beamspring!

What keyboard would these fit on? Don't tell me only beamspring... While we would all love a beamspring, not that many are available ...

Looks awesome!

any ideas for MXLOCKS? and, how do I ask for a refund, if the MXLOCKS are not happening anytime soon...

No, it means I ship everything (at no extra charge) what I have! :o I do not ship: MXBLACK, MXDARKGREY, MXLOCK, HYPER, TEENSEY20, STAB200-625. :cry: If anybody wants a refund: Please order the REFUND (if you didn't order it already) and wait until your money came back. Remove items from your order ...

That fixed the bootloop. Thanks hasu! now to see why u8glib doesn't want to work using C. Arduino/C++ interfaces work great.

I'm only adding them to the makefile. The files get compiled into .o objects then they are also linked at the end, I think. I'll post the output of the make when I return home. I am not calling any functions. Not even including the .h files. I can post the code if you want to take a look.

this is genius!

yep. have one of those and it's waiting for a kishsaver. if this pcb worked with the f122, which currently has teensy + tmk, i'd have a teensy to make my next kb.

Would the 122 versions work with the model f 122?

I'm trying to add OLED display to the IBM F-122 keyboard and integrate the code into terminal_usb converter. Using u8glib, I can't get tmk to boot properly on the teensy++2.0. And this is when I'm just including the .c files to the Makefile. I'm not doing any calls to them at all. Here's what I've d...
