my f60 keeps revolving. have just turned it into capacitive buckling spring with customed pcb and xwhatsit. many thinks to iDollar letting me to modify his fssk pcb design. There is no need to thank for anything. All my work is public. You have created a wonderful version of the PCB and a better ke...

Hello guys ... (yes, I am back ... not in full as I am really busy, but I have logged in again). The real stopper for the FSSK and FEXT are the flippers. I need to test if they can be 3d printed. This would allow to fully transform a model M into an F at a reasonable cost. BTW: I keep typing with my...

I am trying to understand if the is a group buy or similar way to get a PCB ......
Can anyone help ?

@DMA - I have only browsed through the thread and it seems very interesting. It would be a pity not to continue. My experience in prototyping is that indeed, people in general may not be interested, but some would support it. I will for sure. Project MF was to be a proof that CS actually works. With...

Things are getting complicated. I am not used to all these PMs anymore :-) Here is the summary: I have 1 x FSSK prototype = Wodan. It was his since long time ago 1 x FEXT --- could be transformed into an FSSK easily 1 potential FSSK that I need to check with the user that paid for it. He asked me to...

It is nice to read your post guys. Thanks a lot.

I have received a number of PMs asking for FSSK. Unfortunately I do not have many, but if there is interest we could organise a new GB. FSSK and FEXT mixed.

Shout if you want me to do it.

Refund received, take care of your family !!!!

European Spanish of South-American ?

I have a couple of questions Question 1 ) does anyone knows the resistors that I shall used ? Question 2 ) can someone tell me how to orientate the controller ? If I place the USB pointing left (looking from the back of the keyboard), the VCC will not be connected. Is this correct ? Question 3) wher...

If yes, you may need to change to English

You betcha!!!

I can bring some Type-S and a beamspring and maybe a real model-F unless someone has brings a nicer modelF than my XT.

I see your XT and raise you AT / F107

Thanks for the link. That is exactly what I was looking for. I have no clue how it slipped trough my search routine, though.

As I said ... this is getting interesting. Now everyone is looking at it.
Do not blame hKing. It was my proposal. Blame me. I have no problem. It is just a keyboard. Another one.
And it is not even a FEXT

because we are a community and therefore hKing is not an stranger ?

Hello there guys, it would ne nice if you'd refrain from bidding on this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/191951128558?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ...... Thanks for your help!

We need this ... controllers and solenoids at a reasonable price. GO !

As you know, I bought the Model M as NIB - good luck finding NIB german ISO caps

Keep both then ...
You will have an option to go back to the good religion of ANSI.

HELP !!! Background here -> https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/buying-a-model-m-german-iso-keycap-set-unicomp-the-better-option-t14504.html#p326677 So guys ... my contribution to hKing needs for an ISO is a "professional" screw mod. We have seen this in ebay ...http://www.ebay.de/itm/191951128558...

Hello there, I am a proud owner of an IBM Model M from 1990, screw-modded by i$. The board is in an excellent shape. My problem is that the M has ANSI-layout. A wile ago, I switched back to german ISO because I can't get used to ANSI. I read this post ( https://imgur.com/a/fmqXG ) and it seems to b...

it makes it truly special It seems to me that this is the project that people have been yearning and lusting and dreaming for over the years, particularly if the metal case becomes real. The F-62/F-77 revival project was great but rather esoteric, this one sails straight up the main stream. For me ...

My pleasure

How can I contribute ? Is there anything that I can do ? Welcome back friend... I hope the break treated you well. I have been working ... no break still. The plates and mechanical aspects are in a really good place. We still need to fully test the FEXT plates, but the initial rough fit looks great...

Hello guys .... You may have noticed that I have been very busy. I was not able to participate in this project since a while. I keep typing with my FSSK in the office without any problem, and with each stroke, I remembered that I have to find some time for dt. Anyhow ... I am back, hopefully with so...

Impressed !

hello micrex22, It should be a problem with the quality of the pictures because the cable that I used was 30 wires. In any case, it is not important if you use the same cable type. The important bit is that the rows and columns are separated by ground. Please check this post again. I think that the ...
