The factory estimates that production and final assembly of completed inner assemblies into the cases will be completed by early May now that th...

I am somewhat late to the party/club but here goes. I recently acquired an SSK off eBay: https://i.postimg.cc/sD1pv0JD/1.jpg The previous owner has lined the interior with Kilmat 50 mil, which gives the spacebar a satisfying thud sound: https://i.postimg.cc/FHL3xdqM/2.jpg The interior was nice and c...

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 ...

It was my understanding the solenoid activated when the terminal couldn't keep up with your key presses? I'm recalling from a YouTube comment I read years ago so maybe this is totally wrong. They were called "clicker assemblies" (or some variation of that) and primarily used for engaging on key pre...

So, I uploaded the gerber file to JLPCB and it looks like: $4.00 "engineering fee" $20.40 for quantity 5 boards ($4.10 each seems incredibly cheap) $31.80 shipping (DHL air from Guangdong, China) --------- $56.20 That's their default "FR-4" material and two-layer board.

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 ...

Symbolics/LMI fans will be interested in this article from The Register : The LM-3 project has announced version 100, the last ever release of the system software for the MIT CADR Lisp Machine. So, both a new release and a very old one all at once. News of this release came yesterday in a LinkedIn p...

QMK issue: I am trying to create a 16x8 blank firmware for the purpose of using the QMK debugging tools to get an accurate matrix for the new keyboard models, by pressing each key pad one time from left to right, top to bottom row. I tried to follow the details in these links: https://github.com/qmk...

The announcement was late on 3/31, not an April 1st joke. I did get a few folks asking me though! Some emails were delivered on April 1 though. Today I brought some of the new F and Beam Spring models to the NYC keyboard meetup where I met some forum members in person, including darkcruix! It is alw...

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...

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask! I'm using a BTC dome with slider DIN kb through a Soarer's converter I bought off eBay (from an Italian guy I think, it seems to be a pro micro). It works just fine. This keyboard however has a BAE focus style layout and I wanna switch the backslash w...

Thanks for the tip. I've tried using KC_NO on the function layer, as you suggested, but it makes no difference, unfortunately. Currently, this is my best attempt: Screenshot 2022-07-20 at 6.43.55 pm.jpg I'm using QMK's DF() function—default layer—to swap in Layer 2 when in Mouse mode. Ultimately I g...

The MK06 is a now obsolete KVM switching keyboard that can emulate a variety of trading keyboards. It is full-size, with three small LCD screens and two add-on keypads. The trading function keys tend to be garishly colored. The actual host connections, such as USB or PS2, as well as power for the ke...

Screw mod is excellent value for money. It’s the skill and time that’s the tricky part. The skill part matters! When doing my first bolt mod I thought I’d be clever and drill additional relief into the back plate using a large drill bit and accidentally drilled right through it, along with the memb...

Hi all. I would like to share a recent purchase of this collectible computer in the state of NIB. This is an Acer 710 computer with an 8088 processor. I got it brand new, in original boxes.

USB is silly complicated. Why not generate XT or AT scan codes using discrete components and leave all the translation/fancification to a separate middlebox? No joke, i have a love for through hole keyboards and i would absolutely love to do this, but it's way beyond my skill level. i think for a d...

Something like this? The current design I have re-uses the original membrane controller and thus doesn't have full NKRO. However I could design a new control board with a Sprintek controller and PCB with diodes (if there is enough demand maybe I could do a group buy for these, components are more ex...
