Been having some issues flashing the firmware for an F62 in Linux. Eventually figured it out though, with a bit more sleuthing than I had expected. lol Can you perhaps elaborate on specifically what the problem was, as well as what the solution ended up being / how you solved it? Sure! - I couldn't...

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.

What, no Anal?

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...

Well I’m thinking about drop-in controller replacements for existing vintage keyboards, too. The Teensy++ is a 1:1 match for that near ubiquitous Intel chip in so many ~1980s keyboards. I’ve installed a few for that purpose—running Soarer’s controller, with any necessary hardwired pins jumped by han...

[…] Doubleshot legends do indeed "go all the way through" but the plastic in the background colour which surrounds the legends is itself quite thin. You can wear doubleshots through by shining / eroding that thin top layer of the background. I've seen some of this in actual keyboards where the A an...

I have the left panel Extra_F1, Extra_F2.... mapping to some unconventional key codes and asking if the is a fix to get them tot he standard key codes? Currently EXTRA_F1 = B1 EXTRA_F2 = 73 EXTRA_F3 = B3 EXTRA_F4 = 48 EXTRA_F5 = B4 EXTRA_F6 = 71 EXTRA_F7 = 46 EXTRA_F8 = C1 EXTRA_F9 = B5 EXTRA_F10 = 70

…pay cash and save them the Paypal fees. It's been 48 hours since that message. Well, offering to stiff eBay and do it on the side (without having heard a single thing back from the guy to any of your previous messages) sounds like “potentially dodgy customer, hard pass” to me. A lot of eBay seller...

Now that I own an Apple Extended Keyboard II with Mitsumi switches and a Tinkeyboy adapter with QMK+VIA flashed onto it, I'm a little hooked on the AEK II. So I really want to try one with cream dampened Alps switches. I found a seller on eBay that was 20 minutes from my house. The only issue is the...

Less than 24-48 hours remaining to buy (depending on vendor)!

Make sure to get in your last minute orders and share with your Alps friends

As promised, my latest update: 🖱 Numpad Mouse Keys This mode is entered by pressing Fn + M (mouse) on my HHKB. (Behind the scenes, I remapped Fn + M to F16 for this purpose.) You exit the mode by pressing Fn + N (navigation) right beside it. (Mapped to F18 internally, for Karabiner to catch it.) I d...

When a keyboard has a 25-pin D-sub connector, it generally has some kind of parallel output. Occasionally, this is the raw switch matrix connections. Or it can have four inputs to a row selector and outputs for the column states in the row so selected. These cases are easy to recognize by what activ...

This is a keyboard for a Sperry-Univac UTS terminal. UTS-case.jpg I believe that this is the so-called Low Profile Expanded Typewriter keyboard. UTS-back.jpg It is Key Tronic foam and foil. The foam on this particular one (from around 1988) is substantially intact, so I have not yet undertaken repla...

That's a possibility, but I would prefer a solution where you can actually see the keyboard like plexiglass or some other moulded transparent plastic. The problem with those is that you will need some exact measurements and it is unpractical to find any standard off-the-shelf solution that fits a p...

A Sony KI-105NE. Sony-KI-105NE-case.jpg Sony-KI-105NE-back.jpg A nice looking medium-sized keyboard from the mid-80s. It's hard to capture in a photo, but the eighteen F keys are pale green on gray. The telephone-style numpad is simple. I imagine the arrow placement takes some getting used to. It ha...

This Maxi-Switch 870056 has some kind of rubber dome switches and printed legends. Maxi-Switch-870056-top.jpg There are randomly stepped keys to confirm an 80's vintage. Likewise it has both Shift and Caps Lock keys. Somewhat unusually the components, including some MCS-48 controller, are on the und...

As I work through elecplus's warehouse inventory, I find myself posed with an interesting question: what is the best way to clean many thousands of key caps? Among other things, I like to have, at least, a basic understanding of the chemistry going on before I risk putting rare, high value items thr...

While not as common as a strobed parallel interface, one occasionally runs across vintage keyboards that use TTL-level serial to communicate ASCII characters with the terminal. The terminal itself will usually use RS-232 level serial to send ASCII to the modem / host. In addition to the voltage / po...

Hmm, I think I see the one you mean, a French one that comes to £48, but not ISO. I wasn't aware these came in ISO. Personally I'd say yes to getting used to ANSI: I was a bit prejudiced against it at first, but after using it for a bit I don't notice the difference. I hit an ISO Enter low down on t...
