Hi folks. <tap tap> is this thing on? I'm here to announce the formal end of support for the XMIT Hall Effect Mechanical Keyboard. Manufactured from about 2016 through 2018 by Ace Pad Tech in Guangzhou, China, these boards sold through Massdrop (now drop.com) with a few early samples going out over ...

Are you by chance in contact with the Computer History Museum? They love to archive exactly this sort of thing.

Nope, never won a Wingnut. Kind of like Leo DiCaprio and an Oscar - I'll never get one! https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=7012 Go on, flame me for posting. palatino has been a forum friend for many years now, and I wish him the best with his sales. In fact I had to stop myself from inquiring a...

Looks like it's the summer of selling keyboards. If you're in the US and want some deals, check out my sales. But palatino is the better option in the UK!

Looking good! Everyone needs a chopped down AEK.

April 1st was ages ago. What gives?

XMIT keys (well, they do not exist on Symbolics keyboards but hopefully will make somebody happy)

I expect they will! Keep up the great work, and Happy Holidays.

Today we've got a real treat, four brand new IBM 1390131 Model M keyboards! Please help them to find good homes. $250 plus shipping. Thanks!

Starting to see some sales. Thanks to anyone who followed the link! I'll do $80 if you click [Make offer]. I'm looking forward to these boards finding new homes!

'Fraid so. A bunch of them too.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/134329154877 I came into a bunch of IBM Terminal M boards in a warehouse a while back. It's time to find them new homes! Honestly, buying through eBay will be the easiest thing for me. Thanks and good luck! IMG_20210327_153434.jpg IMG_20210327_153459.jpg IMG_20210327_153452....

This has sold. Thanks for the kind words! Maybe I should charge more but as long as I can get what I need and this sees a good home, I’m satisfied.

For sale is a brand new, new old stock, new in the box, sealed, 1992 vintage, IBM Model M Space Saving Keyboard. I came into four of these over the summer from a former colleague who purchased them roughly in the early '00s. Three have already sold for the $300 asking price. I'm still asking $300, P...

To be clear my comments came from conversations with Input Club directly. That Kickstarter link is authoritative.

What sort of longevity is he quoting for these switches? IBM spent big bucks on a fairly exotic steel alloy for the beams in their original boards for longevity. Input Club and Kailua gave up their cloning effort because they could not source an appropriate steel. I’m worried that this is a toy that...

Meanwhile, I printed front legends for my board.
I also put Alps SKCM Cream Damped switches in this board. Next step is to put latching switches under the two Lock keys, like the Symbolics original.

Post photos perhaps?

Sounds like a prime candidate for controller replacement.

I remember you from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27283&p=504512 . You asked for "review" and I asked what specifically you wanted reviewed. I never heard back.

Yes, this is the forum where people would be interested if you have more detail. Can you tell us what you're trying to do?

What’s wrong with the NMB PC122?

Amazing, I'm still in for an F122 shell!

Incredible work as always. I'll look forward to a set for my own Keymacs board in due time.

What is your goal with this project? It’s not clear. Do you want to do a PCB swap on a board you don’t have? Is it an art project? Hard to give feedback without knowing your goals here.
