you will need a separate controller for that, it wont work with normal SDL-PS2 cable since its not designed to be used with regular PC. For now, I only keep it as exhibition piece.Mr.Nobody wrote: ↑Cool, are those 50 key Ms programmable?

should I use IBM keyboards with USB adapter?
Hi, I have a PS2 - USB adapter (see in the attachment) I have recently brought them to use with my Cherry G80-11800 and it works perfectly. However, I also have IBM Model M, Model M SSK, and Model F AT- but I have heard about a myth that IBM keyboards are power hungry beast and using those with chea...

Nice video! :) I've been wanting to do a Matias v Alps video for a long time now, but I don't own a Matias keyboard. The Focus looks really lovely with the Thai sublegends; I suppose it's because of them they're not the usual Tai-Hao doubleshots (quite similar to the ones you stuck on the KBP, actu...

I made a video comparing ALPS SKCM Blue vs Matias Click.
TBgicoOJq_Y Hi, I have made a quick comparison video of ALPS SKCM Blue vs Matias Click. Few months ago, I wanna know whats so good about ALPS style switches; why do people like it so much, so i ordered this KBP V80 with Matias click. And a month later, I found a Focus FK-2001 with ALPS SKCM blue ve...

Having an "upside-down" back sticker with date-of-birth info is something not unusual on IBM UK Greenock-made IBM model M keyboards. Many IBM UK Greenock-made 42H1292 have the same issue of "upside-down" stickers. While it is hard to tell from the picture, it looks like the internal date code stick...

Hi guys, I have just received an Industrial Grey Model M for $130, the part no. is 1394950. I tried searching for this part no. but couldnt find any details on it, the closest one is 1394946 which were made around the same period. Another weird thing is that this particular one does not come with re...

Thanks for all the advice. turned out that my board doesnt look that bad .. the only bad part is that the keyfeel is one of the worst i have ever encountered- the switch is very mushy and scratchy, i dont like them at all. I believe ALPS board are very vulnerable to dust, and this one is made back i...

What keyboard is this (Similar to Focus FK-2001)
Hi, I have recently got myself a FK-2001 with SKCM Blue but there is also another one in which i could also buy, the one on top. It uses the similar design case without any badge but utilizes ALPS clone switch. What is it actually, and is it worth getting one? He offered me $20 including shipping. A...

Hi, I have been into vintage keyboards lately; since I have been introduced to my first vintage keyboard which is the IBM Model M and have been using it for around 6 months. I have always been looking for another Model M; while only can use one at a time- I'm now having 3 Model Ms and will buy more ...
