Looks like an example of the twinax terminals I used in my youth, back in the 1980s; I'd assumed 5251 but I'll defer to sharktastica, not least as I was never certain. Even at that age and in that era (1980s, when keyboards were either really obviously terrible such as the ZX81 and Spectrum, or they...

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 ...

That is a great find and a beautiful keyboard. The weird curved case threw me the first time I saw one in person. I had to look at it a long time to convince myself it was actually built that way on purpose. The stabilizer on the spacebar looks like an early Focus one, but the stabilizer and guide ...

https://imgur.com/8vCHd1P.jpg https://imgur.com/zAQhvdh.jpg Hello everyone, I am so excited to announce that MKC’s second series-MKC65 will be available to everyone in two days! 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 ...

Correct! In general, there is no functional difference between left and right Shift etc., and the average user would give you a very strange look indeed if you tried to tell them there was! :lol: Now, those of us freaky enough to define our own keyboard combos for things—let alone build keyboards an...

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...

Hello everyone, It's been a while. A growing family and sadly non-growing living space necessitate another big sale. But my loss is your gain! These are the first batch I've photographed - there'll be maybe 20 or so more later this week or next. I've been out of the loop for a bit but I think these ...

Hello everyone, First and foremost, as MKC's inaugural independent project, we'd like to express our gratitude for the tremendous support. We aim to give all our customers an even more excellent thank you. We are thrilled to announce that due to the sales meeting our expectations, our team has decid...

Logitech G15 has 18 programmable macro buttons and 3 macro banks, for a total of 54 recordable macros. It's programmable on the fly, without special software.

Thanks guys, that was the problem it seems. At first I thought I need to downgrade qmk by doing "pip install qmk==0.4.0 --upgrade" for example, but instead, after digging through google and reddit for a while, I found that I need to go to ./qmk_firmware and "git checkout 0.18.10", or well, presumabl...

Looks good to me. I've stripped down more Topre boards (to install silencing rings) than Model Fs so I’m very familiar with an obsessive looking amount of screws. Sure you don't want some in the middle ? It's super satisfying when you do them all back up again. :D ah, yes, topre. But I kinda outdid...

Mmkay, I borrowed an USB wattmeter from mah neighbor and measured actual power consumption as a service to community. 5.1V, 30 mA - not even close to requested 200mA (however, if solenoid board is connected, all bets are off. I don't have solenoid board on hand to check). Then I powered it by mah pr...

I retrobrited a few AEK's M0115 and a bunch of M0116/18, it won't affect the logo coloring, if you keep it under 24 hours. I would not recommend high-concentration, 50% of 11 or 12% peroxide & 50% deionized/distilled water. Use some weights, tightened with clear fishing line. 4 weights, one in each ...

..So, I've recorded 51 tracks of 28 buckling spring inner assembly configurations over the last few days. Audacity file is 582MB, so not sharing yet - need to figure out how to chop it to manageable pieces first. Details: 12 keys in 3x4 matrix ("678", "yui", "hjk", "nm,"). Same keycaps (from AT) for...

Keys are virtually identical. Good job! PXL_20230605_224830427.jpg The only visible difference is larger grippers (wider to simplify the mold and ~0.1-0.2mm higher). Makes keys harder to insert, but also holds them in place tighter. There's also a vertical parting line behind the gripper - hard to t...

Hi Everyone, Thank you for your enthusiasm and patience in waiting for the JRIS80 Group Buy! The Jris80 Group Buy is now live, and we couldn't be more excited!

Hello everyone, We are excited to release the first keyboard for the MKC series---MKC75. We have worked on this project for around three months since we do the polling on our channel. And finally, bring it to you all. MKC series is planned to do some more budget keyboards. We aim to make it affordab...

I made a sort of weird custom VIAL layout for the F122. I called it the industrial F130, since that's pretty much what I've decided to do with mine when it arrives. I defined the matrix positions for the layout based on the picture of the PCB sent here by Ellipse a while ago when they announced the ...

Yes sounds good! Leyden Jar controller update: forum member Rico has posted an update on the Leyden Jar controller project below. This project uses the RP2040 chip and these controllers will hopefully power the current F122 production round and other boards in the future, once my current stock of AT...

Are the extra extra 18 keys in the 122 just blank spaces to program macros?

Hello and good day to my brothers and sisters in keyboard. I got this in the mail recently https://i.imgur.com/uKG5ojq.jpg Seeing that there is little information on the internet about this particular numpad, when I search for victor numpad or the model number BV30F03A, I decided to make this post. ...
