My two cents is IBM RT 3200, as very well stated here

Hello keyboard friends, communication (the 2nd most important tool of mankind after time and prayers which are no. 1) through keyboard is very important. Just a curiousity, a wishful thinking, how does one create a business (if it's better to turn it into a business) supposing one has a possible wor...

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 ...

Hello, I've found an error on the HHKB Lite 2 history page but wanted to check before updating it. https://deskthority.net/wiki/HHKB_Lite The history of the keyboard says "HHKB Lite2 was announced on March 21, 2001 and was released on April 02, 2001." However, I have an email receipt for "order pfuc...

Hello all! :) Some of you already know the story about the Stock i found Locally through a contact i have for many years. I am talking about around 1800~ pcs of NOS SKFF Alps switches (i will keep 100pcs) . I have a hard time get a right price as he want me to pay the hole Stock ( 1000€ ) to be able...

Hello keyboards friends, they say the Model F’s capacitative switches are better than the Mode M’s but is the Model F’s typing experience better than Apple Extended Keyboard II’s (AEK) switches, if they are which Apple Extended Keyboard II’s switches are the best : salmon vs. orange vs. M0312? If yo...

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...

I must admit I’m quite tempted, given the reasonable price, the unfamiliar (to me) switches, and the hot-swap. I don't have any hot-swappable keyboards. A looker like this, with Bluetooth, is a compelling addition…

Any good reasons not to? I could use one of those.

OK. I’ve had a few further thoughts. Firstly, I notice that you’ve left a gap around the stabilized keys because the plate was interfering with the stabilizers. I’m wondering whether it might have been better to have added cutouts to the plate to enable Cherry plate mounted stabilizers to be fitted...

I want to build 40% keyboard with Alps switches. What are my options? BM43 and Daisy40 support Alps switches. Plates & cases can also be had on ali express. Also Matias switches and veeery cheap white clones can be had on there. Keycaps will be a whole different story. I dont know if the Kit that I...

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 ...

Unknown as to if anyone has ever been able to successfully retrofit a modern 21-century Lenovo trackpoint stalk/pointer + electronics controller into a vintage 1990's IBM model M-13 ...But for reference, here is what keyboard-trackpoint controller inside the model M13 (1994-1998) looks like.

My 60 year old Ford van with a 5 liter carbureted V8 engine got 21 MPG (~11L if I did the math correctly) on a 3000 mile road trip recentlty. How is it that newer, fuel injected engines can get such crappy mileage? Driving long distance on a highway at cuck speed will usually give you incredible fu...

Model F bottom plate, however, has a 300mm bend radius, I don't know what method you're using to measure the radius, but I would like to share my thoughts from when I attempted to figure out the backplate radius a couple months ago. OH LOL. Yes, I approached it exactly like this, only because I abs...

Hello, I have a couple Model F XT's that may need the controllers replaced. I am in the process of replacing the foam in them but before I did anything one of them would register random typing continually and the other wouldn't work at all. If the controllers do need to be replaced I am guessing tha...

Can you post a photo of the internals of your model M13 keyboard (1403380) and the internal cable connector. I have a few dusty boxes of ol...

For the B122 folks, any recommendations on extra keys to consider including? It won't be a perfect match but I was thinking of throwing in 22 black keys with transparent relegendable tops. I also asked the factory if they can provide blank keys in the same style but it is not likely. Probably bette...

Rauha yes you are correct, that is the 104 style layout but the design of the case will be different, as shown in the renderings on that same product page. The name of the keyboard indicates the approximate key count / style. SSK refers to the IBM Model M Space Saving Keyboard style (TKL style) keyb...

Instead of starting a new thread all the time with boards I've done, I figured I'd start a rolling thread that others can add to as well!
