Hooray! Congratulations to all award winners and voter prize winners.

Just used denture cleaning tabs to clean the keycaps and also cleaned the board and case with isopropyl alcohol. I'll just have to let the caps dry overnight. I also figured out which cable was which which using soarer's advice.
All i have to do now is order a teensy and see if it works

You would need a new controller that is an XT controller and incomatable with PCs. There is a something in the wiki on GH to make one out of a teensy. I think i could do that, i have an understanding of electronics and soldering in general. But then again is it really worth buying a teensy just to ...

Yep, i got it from a pc-repair shop when i asked if they had any old IBM stuff, i found a pretty interesting link where a guy tried to make an XT-keyboard interface with an arduino here

I just scored a free keyboard made by IBM in 1984. I am complete newbie when it comes to old keyboards like this and i want to make it work with USB. Is it possible to just do this or is it completely impossible to make it work with modern-day hardware? I can take pictures of the innards if it is ne...

Apparently the problem isn't on the leg but in the casing, because when i take the upper casing off the legs align just perfectly. I suppose the warranty doesn't fix this kind of problems?

Today i did it an unexpected durability test to my realforce 105ufb by dropping it off the table. At a first glance i didn't see any noticeable damage on the board, but later on when i started typing i noticed that the leg on the upper right corner was broken. Fortunately anything else doesn't seem ...

The sky-blue and yellow caps look sexy, but i still don't know if i can compromise the price

I'm in, good luck everybody!

Now that's what i'd call attitude

Just 58 minutes, i'm pretty excited!

Nice. What switches does it have?

That looks really neat, well done!

I have personally used logitech laser mice for a long time and liked them overall.
I am currently using G5 which is a very solid mouse and suitable for gaming.

The first mechanical switch i ever tried are mx blues and i think that they feel great when compared to rubber-domes or scissor-switches. But i have also tried topres and have started liking them too, i will probably have to buy atleast one board to evaluate them more closely.

Here's mine, just got an used screen for 40€ to accompany the screen on the right.

The straight translation would be close to 'strike' or 'blow' or 'attack', the word has got many meanings

Thanks, i'll certainly use this trick in the distant future.

Get the filco.
