@Hausen

You're more than welcome to advertise your sale in the for sale subforum, stating whether your pictures are free to use in the wiki

A cursory look at wiki/Topre_switch reveals that no, you can't use Cherry MX keycaps with Topre switches. Just compare the mount with wiki/Keycap_mount#Cherry_MX_mount.

@Jugostran

You'd do well adding pictures to the wiki so the evidences you find don't get lost. Threads here don't last forever, I've lost count of the number of wiki references pointing to DT threads that became dead.

Awful picture, sorry. I got what seems to be an NCR Decision Mate keyboard with RAFI hall effect switches. Very interesting linear switches, glad I'm finally getting to try them out. It's a shame one switch got broken in shipping. This is why you shouldn't use Hermes for shipping! :x http://i.imgur...

Very interesting stuff, especially the part about keycap printing. Now if only we could obtain a video of the process...

Is it OK to add these pictures to the wiki?

It's baffling to see a regular ANSI Left Shift key in portrait mode and then a 1u Left Shift in landscape mode, that's for sure, but then this is Apple so everything is supposed to be fscked by design.

I suppose the obvious steps on their website don't help?

@tactica: Feel free to do with the pictures as you please. I'll upload some more shortly, including a timestamp. Sadly, I can't find the time these days for wiki maintenance. The blue sub-legends do not look like they are pad printed at all as there no 'embossed' quality to them at all. My guess is...

Neither the keyboard or the switch are documented in the wiki. Would you donate the pictures to science then?

More pictures wouldn't hurt either. Also, I take the blue sub-legends are pad printed?

Someone not using Gmail might try the generic email address just in case it's a Google thing and there's someone still there.

This is a Ukrainian layout so I assume the U stands for Ukraine. Hm... So the article on Cherry article numbers needs updating. U or US are documented to mean US layout, always. Hi. I received this keyboard from a man who in turn received it from a disbanded military unit (according to him). Accord...

Unless I'm missing something HBU belongs to an ANSI keyboard so you're using keycaps from another keyboard?

Anyway, these photos (and at least these too) should be added to the wiki. We only have one picture for an ESA-3000 HASR0 keyboard and even that one was mislabelled as HASRO (with an Oh).

The keyboard with the unknown yellowish Alps clones is from a MicroOrchid PC3 portable. I have updated the wiki article and emailed MicroOrchid asking for details. Too bad the email link for most subsidiaries is the one and the same as for the original manufacturer in China, so in the end it will be...

OK, my bad, they're the real thing. I'm sorry your stabilisers broke in the process...

The extra pictures would be useful in the Alps SKCM Blue article.

Yet another switch that need identification :( https://deskthority.net/wiki/Codegen_Technology_CG-84A1 You have to open at least one, and possibly the one under the space bar too as the spring something is likely to be different. External looks alone don't help identifying Alps clones, and the pict...

Heh. I was thinking of the ITW switch when I suggested you to add the info yourself. Identifying an Alps clone is beyond my abilities, so far I haven't found a match in the wiki either. In a worst case scenario it will have to be filed as another unknown.

OK, I guess cropped versions of #1-4 and #7-8 plus the others as is will do. Not bad

You do the honours and get all the fame & glory for the feat

I'm new here and want to add a keyboard to the wiki. It is a Memorex brended keyboard, no FCC code visible. I'm mostly interested in the switches on this one, I can't identify them. I disassembled one, pictures are attached. If you can, please re-shoot the disassembled switch, this time on a comple...

I'm currently spamming the wiki This kind of spam is most welcome. You just need to experiment with the "widths" value of the "gallery" tag so the box around the picture doesn't look out of proportion. We could use other gallery modes to avoid the box entirely (hint: try adding mode="packed" as a p...

If you're for real and have a few grand to spare then I'd say go for it, I don't think things can't get any worse short of the site being shut down by the current owners. Oh and yes, of course this site is worth saving, Together with sharktastica's database and possibly Daniel's and very few others,...

Changing topic just in case it helps somehow.

Necroposting.

So, anyone can tell who Tom Fischer is? Otherwise wiki/File:Displaywriter.jpg needs replacement.

Doh, you're right... Dunno what happened, my eyes deceived me, sorry

TBH until not long ago I was sure your nick on YT was "Chyrosan22" so...

They shortened the article (it used to span 2 pages) and it is correct now.

After having been bit by the vintage keyboard bug, another one came in the mail today! I picked this one up because it looked like an IBM Model F AT. I never heard of the brand, though. Can you add the keyboard to the wiki or at least post more pictures here? Disassembly pictures would be a good st...

Hi, Whenever a user tries to upload a file to the Deskthority wiki, Mediawiki shows a form with a generic introduction. This intro was suboptimal for the current situation (literally thousands of unlicensed pictures stored, and people adding to that number) so I changed it at least for those using U...

There are actually three of us (Muirium, jsheradin and myself) relentlessy screening DT for spammers (or prospective spammers) based on certain criteria. This has resulted in several dozens of obviously non-legit new accounts being banned in the last few weeks alone. Ah, glad to hear it. I see jshe...

I don't remember seeing spambots here doing their thing back when I joined (2015). Dunno if that's because moderators were more active back then or because the site was configured differently. Regardless, speaking as a user I don't like seeing it because it makes the forum look like it's being run c...

Phpbb can be configured to automatically flag the first N posts from a new account as moderated so DT can be spared the embarrasment of looking like a new heaven for spambots. Of course this change must be done by an administrator.

Ok, welcome to the Hall of Fame then

Thanks.

Grabbed them already, you didn't answer the question so expect to hear from me again.

Arrivederçi

Oh, and GLWS.
