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

Project update: I have just approved production of the final part, the cases, one year and a day after the official announcement of the project on 3/31/23. The factory estimates that production and final assembly of completed inner assemblies into the cases will be completed by early May now that th...

Here's an interesting example of the apparent ghosts of spam in those post IDs! https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=514065#514065 As usual for a false positive, the opening post of a thread comes up. No size= in there. Then I see mmm and kbdfr having a curious conversation. Sure enough, there *...

I recently installed an xwhatsit controller into my original IBM Model F AT. I’ve spent a couple of days now trying to get this working, and I think I'm likely missing something painfully obvious. Installing the xwhatsit controller was no problem (I don’t use my vacuum desoldering station much, but ...

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...

Going by the 23 thousand views this thread has already had, I think your project might do well. Best of luck!

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 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 ...

Which case color is in this photo? If that's industrial grey, it looks much more... brown-ish than F77's industrial grey.

I have one of the new Mini M's and quite enjoy it. It exceeded my expectations for a Unicomp board at the very least. I have a few little gripes, but I also understand why they made most of the decisions they made (mainly color and bottom row). I honestly didn't even consider reprogramming this as a...

I am more than thankful for the amount of work and dedication keymacs has put into it. The quality of the keyboard is extraordinary. The sound is mind blowing and the key feel is on another level. All in all - something very special. Every post in this thread makes me a bit envious. True works of a...

Does that mean you’re up for making and selling samplers just like this? If you had brown Alps in the mix, I’d be all over it! :D Probably not, since getting the good stuff (browns, blues, ambers etc.) is next to impossible to do in Germany. (at least with the budget of a 23 year old ) Oranges, sal...

Here is a comprehensive 1 hour setup video for the new Model F keyboards - I recommend that everyone looking to set up and learn how to use and maintain a Model F keyboard watches this video. rmJcXnIu180 Chapters: 0:00 Introduction, safety information 2:57 Parts identification 3:28 Initial setup ste...

Leyden Jar controller update: Good news from Rico. Rico just announced the completion and open sourcing of the Leyden Jar controller project with the 18x8 extended matrix! And wcass has designed the F122 PCB to accommodate these extra pads, so now we have everything that is needed for the full F122 ...

Interesting, thank you for checking. Looks like I will have to keep looking for an Avant Stellar if I want a working the holy grail of Alps keyboards - a reprogrammable Omnikey battlecruiser with Windows keys. These seem to be pretty rare, I have yet to see one in the wild. I've been keeping a data...

The new project has made it onto the homepage of slashdot! https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/23/04/05/2039244/new-models-of-ibm-model-f-keyboard-mark-ii-incoming Here follows an article issued ON the Italian WIRED. Thanks for sharing this link. slashdot home page Model F article 4-5-23.png

Uline 23 X 13 X 2 1/2" literature mailers (part no. S-3189) work great for storing battleships, and 19 1/8 X 9 1/8 X 2 3/16" keyboard boxes (S-6496) work for smaller keyboards. IBM M13 fits inside the latter... barely. Removable multipurpose labels from OfficeDepot work well for keeping track of wha...

We have polar here in the northeast US. Some of their stuff is good, but it never really scratches that same itch. Dr Pepper zero was a good thing to ween me off the sugar aspect, but it still has caffeine which is the real reason I gave up Dr Pepper. I guess I'll have to keep looking for something ...

The nano's pricey, but really is the answer for a few of my longest waiting controller replacement jobs. Yeah indeed. Would have been great if the no. of pin’s on v2 were the same as v1 (23). That alone would have been enough for this. But got forced to learn and use shift registers so was worth it...

I feel like I'm a bit of an anomaly in the "modern" mechanical keyboard scene. When most people are building 40%, 30%, single switch boards, I've latched on to a 130% layout and keep dragging it through revision after revision. It features an incredibly naive matrix design that's 23 rows x 7 columns...

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! Post your dirtiest, nastiest, most neglected boards and/or after clean up photos here! Bring on the filth!!! I'll start it off with my most recent stuff. http://...
