The case is an original PCjr but it has been significantly modified (top and bottom). The only 3D printed parts are the rear supports for the assembly, the 4P4C (RJ11/12) connector housing and supports and both of the IR LED plugs on the back. So, if I understand correctly , the barrel´s in the top...

Iam still curious about the components used. Is the upper part just the normal PCr top shell or is it custom 3 printed ? Also, which IBM (typewriter??) keyboard assembly did you use for the job ? The case is an original PCjr but it has been significantly modified (top and bottom). The only 3D print...

Fully up and running! Going to try get this added to qmk repo. EDIT: wrote about this on my blog After seeing your blog, yours originally fits M122 and is fixed to the metal plate so that M101 can be put in. Is there a way still to order this beauty? There are files in front, used for production

Another thing I wanted to mention is that I found that these risers work pretty well with the F62 (and probably with the F77). I followed the directions and left them alone for at least 12 hours before using the board, and they are staying put so far with just their adhesive pads. In addition to sl...

A Northgate-badged Focus FK-555 was just posted (and sold) on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305340877559 And it has a Northgate paper label in additional to the usual Focus one. I had speculated a while back that the Northgate boards from Focus originally had such a label, but it has taken this lon...

If you are looking for a truly entry-level customized keyboard, I believe it will not disappoint you. Without further ado...

This thing has it all. What an absurd keyboard. Thank you to ja3 for being kind enough to pass it along to me. It must be the longest Cherry MX G80 I've ever seen. It's the only Cherry-made MX keyboard that came stock with o-rings to my knowledge. And to top it all off - it has a unique case design ...

Today the project was featured in Hypebeast! A design studio and retailer company, JJJJound, purchased some F62 keyboards with a custom keycap design with the intention of reselling. They posted the product today on their blog and everything sold out within one day. (n.b., I still have stock of F62 ...

Curiously, why not consider TMK for a converter as well? Remapping is a matter of using his online keymap editor, saving the file and uploading it to the converter : http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?adb_usb It can't be done in software, if that is what you want though. The merged ...

minivan-sized (12.75x4u) keyboard 60% is small—15 × 5 units—so 12.75 × 4u should be even smaller. But a "minivan?" https://www.motorbiscuit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Porsche-B32-Minivan.jpg Much too big! I think of my HHKB as roughly like a VW bug or a Mini, in keyboard terms. Which makes 40% ...

taraskremen this is a great post! It makes sense to keep the mouse and num pad block as you have described. However some old timers with decades of keyboard usage like myself might have too much muscle memory to change the num pad location! On the subject of relegendables, I have not seen too many p...

^ True! It's stuff like this, and yes the high price of entry, that's kept me out of ordering any brothers for my OG Kishsaver. The original's been a low-maintenance joy since before this project even started. IBM was IBM, of course. Model F Labs isn't, so spares in the box become a necessary conces...

This is the converter I was trying to get to work with the F/AT keyboard and the Win11 PC. It's an active converter. It works fine with an assortment of 1986 and 1987 Model M keyboards (and a 2014 Unicomp), but doesn't work with the F/AT keyboard. My newer PC is a Dell and I've found that it kind o...

Want to sell a Cherry Compact G84-4100 keyboard with Cherry ML switches. It's brand new, unused. Tested and working. The layout is QWERTY (german). Made in Czech Republic. USB connector. Price: 30 euro + shipping. SOLD Shipping costs 12-15 to most EU countries, ask for exact quote. Payment: PayPal (...

I clicked the link and stumbled upon a silver label Model M page and found the English translation amusing: IBM Model M Keyboard 1390131 Metal Label The M! It was produced on September 25, 1987. The boss said that you must have a metal label when you collect Model M. Don't buy anything strange. Then...

I recommend taking out the module, removing the flipper and inspecting it. I have found that the distance apart of the ears of the metal part for the beam flipper should be the IBM-specified 1/2" or 12.7mm and no larger. I recommend slightly tightening it if there are issues. It is possible that you...

Magnificent, thank you! So for the Model M it’s 171mm wide and 12.5mm high, so it subtends an angle of 33° and has a radius of curvature of 300mm, or 11.8 inches (35 barleycorns or shoe size 12 for Chyros’s leftpondian fans). The bigger angle is not too surprising because it has to cover the F key r...

Hate to break the news to you, but $7 for NOS SKCM Green is super low nowadays. Even for used switches SKCM Greens are around $12-15 per.

OK, I finished my replacement controller for the battleship. Hooray! The Blackpill-based setup works. There are some hurdles, but they can be overcome. If using GPIO A10 for the matrix, it needs an additional external pull-up resistor. This has already been planned into the schematics for the replac...

it works great out-of-the-box. However, I want to… There's nothing to "upgrade" to. I feel like you didn't exactly read the original post, nor the Amazon product review it linked to... OP doesn't want to "upgrade". They want to ensure that the firmware they're running is the genuine article, and no...

I'm a newbie to keyboards so please go easy on me :> I bought this Soarer's converter for my Model F/AT (connecting to a modern desktop PC) and it works great out-of-the-box. However, I want to install or load the genuine Soarer's 1.12 firmware onto it. (A product review says the OEM firmware is not...

Sometimes in life shit hits the fan. So I'm letting go of almost 10 years worth of collection keeping only a few 60% for myself The keyboards are located in Finland. For payment SEPA is preferred (or mobilepay of you're a finn), but Paypal F&F is also an option. I'd rather sell more than one keyboar...
