wrong thread in hindsight but i like the new design

How do i know if i'm in line to receive replacement/missing caps? my /? is all messed up I figure we just wait for 7bit to come back from summer vacation. I mean we waited 2 years for round 5, what's another month? Yea, i don't care that it will take a long time, I'm used to it. I just want to make...

Maybe Mr. nobody writes all these meaningless text walls because he like typing on his wonderful mechanical keyboard collection

Why not just revert the keyboard design? It isn't like the key feel was good in the first place due to the short travel. Adding the contamination shield will shorten the travel distance even more. You don't 'own' a Macbook 2015+, you borrowed one. They can't just put the old keyboard into the new c...

If someone can tell me what i'm missing i would appreciate it

An m0110 for over 300 dollars? I don't get it

Because if they move it from wherever iMav is hosting it to the same place that massdrop.com is hosted, it will be effectively free to them. Free to run, but they just spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it remember? Massdrop's business model is basically printing money, they profit indirectl...

Point of clarification: MassDrop plans to support GH financially, but has no interest in "running" it administratively (they are leaving that to the existing admins/mods). The cynics among you can call this a misleading lie on the part of Will Bright, but I'm taking a hopeful, if not optimistic, wa...

Man, from my original read of the thread i got the feeling that iMav wasn't making the best decisions. This really solidifies it. Like, seriously. A patreon would cover 300/mo without any challenge. Given GHs demographic, most of them probably already have a patreon and are sending out modest amount...

Wow, looks i need to sell my XT. Got some serious cash laying around and i didn't even know it.

I prefer USPS because (to canada, at least) the price of customs etc is included in the cost of the label. It really simplifies the process

I don't know if he was ever on DT (before my time), but did litster ever reappear?

He'd probably be amused at how hapster derivatives are now unironic novelty keycaps

Mouse navigation via an FN layer like on the Ducky Mini would be good. If it's implemented well (no idea if this is easy or not) it works really well and is more intuitive than a trackball or a trackpoint IMO. Also if you're going to go low profile switches, commit fully and go khail low profile PG1...

God, this video really inspired me to try and get my FK 9000 working again. The calculator works flawlessly, but the board itself doesn't

The Model M on the box has a blue label on it, so i would assume that yes, a blue label was originally in the box

Can someone explain to me how exactly i get help for a damaged key i received? Do i message 7bot and what do i say?

There are a bunch of new low profile switches, mostly from khail. khail has in the past year or so really gotten past the funk they were in when the cherry patents first expired and are now actually doing good stuff. They used to be the cherry clone in all of the cheap keyboards, but they are now wh...

He got quite a bit wrong ( but overall a good video) , saying the PS2 version was the 2nd gen when in fact there was an AT version with lock lights between the original and the PS/2 His diagram was for a model F flipper and not a model M. Giving credit for the M being the first true 101 disgn was r...

Just saw this now, thank you so much for posting it. That looks very simple, you've saved me a bunch of time. I can't wait to give it a shot!

Awesome, thank you

Hi, would you be willing to share some pictures of how you hooked up the ribbon cables to the Pro Micro? I'll be looking to convert my ZTX soon, and it would save me some time.

I was at the /r/MK newark meetup a month or two ago. Met quite a few members, was a good time. Most notably Ellipse, his new model Fs were incredible. Got to see some of the new keycaps in person, i can't wait for them.

Hey, that's my number! Woohoo!

I should probably buy a keyboard for them

They're definitely expensive, but 400 for a trashed one?

300 maybe for a NOS one.

I was just going to convert mine (which arrived yesterday) by removing the ribbon cable from the board and putting it to a teensy. The manual should have a matrix of the keyboard in it, so it shouldn't be hard at all. I'd have posted pictures of mine, but i'm not home to do so right now. It arrived ...

When they inevitably go belly up, hopefully someone in the community manages to get all the molds and patents or whatever they need.

Ugh. If they asked nicely, someone would probably just give them all the designs they need.

But no, they insist they're still working on it themselves. Cheap bastards. They could make a killing selling F flippers for FSSK and FEXT mods, but they don't even do stuff like that.

Oh man, what a beautiful board...or maybe, system?

Either way, i officially have a new board on my short list. My love of SKCC is taking over my love of Buckling Springs

They are in a serious need of a re-tooling. Not just retooling but attention to details and quality control. And willingness to innovate a bit. Arguably Model M keyboards are not designed for gaming so it would be silly to garnish them with multicolor lights, but a volume knob would not be a bad id...

VERY nice find, congratulations! :D We've seen one or two of these, but so far in crap condition. And NIB blue Alps are just amazing of course :D . Still, I'm not sure why this would be a counterfeit. Why would they? Alps were very big at the time (and still are, their yearly revenue is almost $6 B...
