Goldtouch GTC-0033 numpad - weird rollover behaviour.
https://i.imgur.com/duaAcel.jpeg This thing is very strange. It's fully mechanical, all Cherry Browns, but doesn't have n-key rollover. Actually messing around at first I thought it had one-key blocking on every combination of keys excluding the Shift/Fn modifier, but no. It buffers inputs, onboard...

TL;DR: First-time Model F/XT owner. This board has semi-functional keys. How to fix them? [ Imgur album ] Greetings all... first, please forgive me.

Re: Future of DT
To be clear, Ellipse only said that he'd cover up to $3,000-5,000 to cover a shortfall from $15,000. So technically he might be buying the car with $0 out of his own pocket. He would pay for the gas to put in that car, though. At least after he drains whatever he can raise in excess of that $15,000...

Re: Future of DT
I disagree with the posts above based on my experience with ellipse, and I don’t think he has any bad intentions. I trust he wants to keep the site as-is. I think he’s truly passionate about vintage IBM keyboards and I’m glad he’s producing them. I think debating about what his intentions are isn’t...

Re: Future of DT

The benefit is for those who want the site to be kept exactly the same. As folks have discussed here before, a...

Re: SA Retro
The £41 set you link is just the modifiers, though, and ANSI only at that. A full SA Retro right now costs 41 for mods + 41 for alphas another 37 for ISO , 15 for the numpad and whatever the shipping / customs are; which can be quite a nightmare.

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