Re: Alps Appreciation

Looking at your photos I'm wondering if a guide post socket would be too tall to work with your BAE key? Those stick up fairly high from the plate, and there might not be clearance on the keycap for it to work. I just measured some guide posts. These were done with cheap digitital calipers, so not ...

Cherry G80-1288HAM

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 ...

Re: Modern switch closest to the Alps Salmon or Oranges switches in the AEK

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.

Re: Omnikey Ultra Gen4 - programming software? Way to reset?

I just saw this thread; I've been out of town for a couple weeks. This sounds like a classic case of the EEPROM chip going bad. Removing that chip (the 8 pin 24C16, which is an EEPROM, not a flash chip) is the "sure thing" fix, but that kills the ability of the keyboard to have its keys reassigned b...

Re: Restoring a Model M “Battlecruiser” (122 keys, ISO German) from 1999

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...

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)

I must admit: I just like chording. I find it quicker than reaching out for single-function keys. It's the exact same flow we all know when we type capital letters: you just don't think of it, you "automatically" shift into uppercase with a little press of Shift. Sure, you could have a whole second ...

Which means Intel hardware support likely won't be killed off until MacOS 16 (2025), which quite possibly also means that Rosetta 2 won't die until MacOS 17 (2026)!
