I have two sets of (very simple) MX keycaps for ISO FR, a white one and a black one, double-shot, translucent, for TKL, absolutely unused. I am aware that they are not in the highest league quality- and design-wise, but considering the difficulty to get ISO-sets affordably, I still want to offer the...

Thanks for that. How about this spam post, which I neutralised but otherwise left intact: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=518381#p518381 Its id doesn't show up on your list, and DT's phpBB does indeed hide its hideous little size=1 text. Hit quote on it yourself, to see its contents. I think...

Perhaps your clone could help me with a query. I'd like a list of all DT posts with the text {size=1} in them (but with square brackets instead of curly braces), to track down the remaining edit-spam still festering in the forum. The search function here insists on searching for the word "size" ins...

arccos(248/((49 - 39)^2 + 248^2)^.5) =~ 2.309 degrees for everything but the b62 arccos(210/((49 - 39)^2 + 210^2)^.5) =~ 2.726 degrees for the b62 but i'd need the actual chassis measurements to be accurate. Either way, we can reasonably assume the typing angle is less than 4 degrees and probably cl...

Received this mail this morning. My bid was 9% of the "..the final auction price which may be a little higher than what a few of you bid". I wonder how many people bid at or above quite beefy price I am offered for it. My guess would be far less than the 40 Yea, my winning bid was noticably lower t...

IBM Color matching: Some folks have been asking what are the exact colors of the IBM Beige and Industrial Gray. I was able to use an i1 spectrophotometer to make the measurements, which have been sent to the factories making the cases. Of course IBM's paint and plastic colors varied noticeably from ...

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 ...

analog VU meters showing what, exactly? The main problem with all these steampunky shit is that it's utterly useless (plus it will require drivers - custom drivers for every OS, plus an application sending that data to those meters). Mere wishcasting, but the way I’d do it is with an analog audio i...

If you're opening a pub or a bar, here's a great keyboard for you!

Fully programmable Tipro MID-KM128A keyboard PS/2 for only 49,99€! Cable not included!

Regarding keycap colors the minimum order quantity is 1,000 sets per color scheme, which is why there are only two color schemes (total 2,000 key sets). Understandable, though if the quality is as good as I have come to expect from your products, I wouldn’t be too surprised if you could sell anothe...

[…] they charge 50 USD for custom legend on a 1U key. If I were you, I would invest into the tooling, make 50 keysets, leave a couple for myself and resell the rest. … each additional set is priced at just 20% of the initial set, it then costs 260 USD and the total cost is then 1,300+(49*260)=14,04...

[…] they charge 50 USD for custom legend on a 1U key. If I were you, I would invest into the tooling, make 50 keysets, leave a couple for myself and resell the rest. As a matter of fact, ordering more than just one set and reselling all the rest for exactly your buying price is just a zero sum oper...

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://...

As a note I am also offering the Model F F122/Unsaver/3178/AT Controller for $49 that includes a USB-C pro micro controller for the price, if anyone's interested. I am in the US. If you add it onto an existing Brand New Model F Keyboards order there is no additional shipping charge. Tracked worldwi...

The Soarer's Converter frimware is closed source and Soarer hasn't been seen in years. Does the current firmware blob support ADB? Or am I overthinking this and it will just work if I get the wiring right? I ordered a Wombat, which was more than I wanted to pay. It was $49.00. It's out for delivery ...

Monoprice PS/2 to USB "Converter Adapters" are on sale for $1.99 (reg. $6.49) on both Monoprice.com and Amazon US. Looks like Amazon UK has them on sale at £5.44 (reg. £7.99).

I'd say this product has worked for about 5 of 7 or so AT-based keyboards I've tried it on.

OK. Maybe I was too vague on my previous post about exactly what I needed help with. I am building a 49 key gaming pad. I have a Teensy 2.0 that I want to use to control it. The pad thus far: https://i.ibb.co/T11qHFW/Keypad.jpg At this point I don't know which pins I should be using for rows, which ...

yaun the ISO Enter mold would take months so unfortunately you'd have to pay for separate shipping since all the orders will be out before the mold is ready (everyone feel free to email me for a quotation for any order with only small items - for international shipping). US shipping for small items ...

Interest Check: ISO Black, Dark Gray, and Industrial SSK Blue key sets, Code Keys, Big PC AT style Enter Keys? If you are interested please fill out the Google form below to note which sets you’d like. To help pay for the mold each set will cost $20 extra, a total of $99 instead of $79 for each set...

Thank you. It’s true that I don’t want to spend lot of money, specially for any keyboard that it’s not the original 803. I will try to fix my pcb as I don’t have other solution for now. Thank you about the futaba information. I didn’t know the type as I am not so much a keyboard guy. I am in progres...

It's been a long time since I posted an album of photos here. I've got lots of new things (including a few undiscovered things) that I'd love to share, but these days I always struggle to find the time to get my DSLR out. And Deskthority doesn't deserve shitty phone pics! :mrgreen: Anyway, I got thi...

orihalcon I was not aware of the first link in your list up to now - very interesting! I thought only some IBM typewriters with buckling spring keyboards had that short space bar key. I have come across the others over the years. Another interesting model (have not seen in person though) is the IBM ...

Further thinning the heard ...it must be done! [SOLD] I have my Epson BFK. Absolutely love this thing. I got it because it was a bloody BFK. I have primarily used the num pad module with my HHKB. The caps on this beast are stunning. Here's a link to my eBay listing for further pictures and other det...

Issue #49 of my Keyboard Builders' Digest is available. Cool DIY keyboard projects, tips and ideas.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have to do some further reading on Alps switches - there are so many that I often get confused. Are the dampening/clicking mods reversible? Any introductory material for the uninitiated? The dampeners are reversible, and I personally find the bottoming out feel extreme...
