RedESC I believe these were the final numbers for the first order of the Round 2 Model F keyboards: Classic F104 900 Off-White/Beige 329 Industrial Gray 236 Black 180 Silver Gray 45 True Red 39 Dark Blue 38 Light Blue 33 Classic F122 400 Off-White/Beige 122 Industrial Gray 87 Black 71 Dark Blue 40 S...

IMG_7171.jpg I just started getting into the hobby and ran across this broken M2 that I am going to repair but upon disassembly I noticed that it had what looks like two manufacturing stickers on the back. At first I thought maybe the board had been sent in when the board was under warranty and per...

Please discuss matters regarding the DT site in the appropriate thread (or at least also post there) I moved one post NathanA posted here to the thread "Future of DT": https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=518792#p518792 It read: I have just made an additional blog post regarding a potential group...

I have just made an additional blog post regarding a potential group buy for the Deskthority site: Interesting proposal. I'm not entirely sure how some people here might take to the idea of contributing monetarily to a group-buy where they don't end up owning some kind of stake, or where the owners...

The front page of the website ( https://www.modelfkeyboards.com ) says "2/29/24 please have your orders in by then!" Does this date apply to orders for the F122? Next month it will just say "3/31/24 please have your orders in by then!" if we assume it does the same thing, that it has done the past ...

Yeah, and my mainframe work needs all 24 F-keys...and the delete, end, PgUp, and PgDn keys are ones I use all the time. As a fellow mainframer I agree. I also need the 10 f-keys on the side. Given the massive amount of "keyboard" space my monitors create. and the hassle of layers, I simply can't ge...

I never miss F-keys or the delete-home-end-cluster

These are keyboards spanning 1949 to the present, covering IBM, its descendants and companies that have acquired IBM divisions, staff and IP. From the IBM 024/026 Card Punch Keyboard Assembly to the Unicomp Mini M and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16's Bluetooth TrackPoint Keyboard and Stand... 70+ years ...

This is a Tipro keyboard, at 24 Euro a bargain:

can't imagine having the site be busted for over 24 hours is very good for the ol' SEO. value slipping away

Haven't seen this Commodore PC keyboard before (I have a Commodore Colt with matching keyboard which is more like the OG IBM PC layout). This looks like from the PC-AT era?

Stunning!

I’d try to use the 24 (currently) blank keys around the display to drive its interface, as their presence there is crying out for just that use. Quite a software design job to implement, though, so you’re forgiven the placeholder keys.

On todays east bloc exhibit we have the MERA ELZAB 7940, manufactured in 1978, in Zabrze, south west Poland: 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg The keycaps are 1970s thick double shot, im assuming ABS, however the manufacturing process leaves a lot to be desired, with some keycaps being perfectly s...

Unicomp’s offerings are somewhat well known in enthusiast circles, but larger keyboards are currently not en vogue and there is much less information out there regarding the 122 key terminal keyboards by Unicomp. So here are some thoughts from a Linux user who does not mind using screwdrivers and ha...

Hitting F3 is no harder than hitting # for me. Fn + 3 versus Shift + 3. Do you ever feel you need a dedicated # key? Or @ or $ or… etc.? ;) Not that I am immune to this idea , in legends at least! https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=14166 Here's my real point: we all use layers . Shift is ...

Trio of white alps boards, all SKCM of the pine variety.

I’m wary about breaking the wiki, so I'll note this here in the hopes a wiki veteran can do the deed.

I recently contacted Unicomp about options to get a new Mini M _with_ the Pico based controller. They told me that international Mini Ms are getting the old controller no matter what. You have to order an additional controller for a $24 fee and self-install it. Thats a pita and I ask myself whats th...

Jumped up to Tarmak stage 2 yesterday: 2023-08-10 14_20_36-pklImgWin.png Immediately felt unproductive and switched back to qwerty for some home server maintenance. Typing passwords is almost entirely muscle memory so that really broke me. But I am back at the typing practice, and clawing back to a ...

This Datadesk Switchboard has an interesting description on the back of the box saying that they had additional modules, like 24 programmable macro keys, a trackball, and more: "Datadesk's Module Development Team is at work on still more input devices - a digitizer tablet, a numeric keypad especial...

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 ...

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 ...

This is what Unicomp told me to do: Yes! You can order one now; add 2x customization fees (totaling $24) here: http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/CUSTOM and write in the text field, "New Mini M logic card with Pico" Thank you, Troy Fletcher Thanks for the tip, just grabbed one, arriving next we...

Why would you want to do this? The big reason is that someone ported QMK/VIA to it. So, if you already own a Mini-M, you can do a controller swap, flash QMK/VIA onto it, and get a programmable Mini-M. I placed my order this afternoon. Unicomp wants $24.00 for the part, which is a lot cheaper than ot...

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...

When is a sixty not a sixty? When it has 24 function keys and another 10 spare if you’re bored of those. The Datalux Spacesaver arrow keys are a nice touch though. Chyros adores them. ;) https://external-preview.redd.it/ip0UZ9aKyymxXlpTFeUhYPXIQ7QP0Al1U3diAH9k5Ek.jpg?auto=webp&s=7a55bfa17d3b189e278d...
