62 Cherry MX clears later… IMG_3498.jpeg I’ve had these PCB mount clears sitting in my parts collection for something like 10 years, so it’s good to finally give them a home. My initial impressions, having just finished soldering them in: I actually quite like them. They’ve certainly got tactility c...

>> Update: Hi-Tek keycap peg measurements: inner box .1915", outer box .2740 problem is, these keystems are spec'ed DC 61-01 your catalog, at .275" square. Actually measured they are slightly tapered at .266" square on top and .276" on bottom. So I don't know if a proper keycap "peg hole" would be t...

An NEC product in this space is the PC-6601SR, aka Mr. PC. The keyboard can use infrared or a coiled cable, switching modes depending on whether it is plugged in.

I cleaned up a crusty NMB PC-122 a while ago if this is what you're looking for: Just a little necro, but I wasn't able to find other references... I have some questions, if OP doesn't mind answering after all this time ;) 1. Did the board come with RJ-11 connector (aka phone jack)? 2. If so, would...

Left is good,though I prefer to split the alphas and have the numpad in the middle. I personally like 75% layouts which remove the nav cluster and instead have a numpad. Perfect best of both words since the numpad has almost the whole ass nav cluster redundant http://www.overclock.net/content/type/...

To quote Ascaii from that thread: You know its going to be a special day when you get a big wang in the mail. Nice find :lol: The caps are pure Micro Switch.

I have no idea what 61, 62 or 63 stands for.

Showa 62 is 1987.

Wow, thanks. Awesome fact. I never would've known that.

Great found！Can you post more picture of the back side of the pcb and internal side of the case? Really curious for when this keyboard was manufactured. Alright, here are some more images.

Next is a Qume QVT-61 from around 1994. This is what got me started on this set, after doing a few older QVT keyboards that cloned a VT100, sort of. QVT-61-case.jpg QVT-61-back.jpg According to a table on Bitsavers , this part number, 303686-11, was also used with a number of other models, even incl...

Hi there! I am new to the forum and keyboard modding. I've been searching for a good keycap set for a while, I must say, among the mass produced I like only DSA-like keycaps, but I wondered if there exist DSAs but with Cherry-like angles (sculpted? is that the right term?) Anyway, it is quite hard t...

TL; DR: Lots of positives for the keyboard, itself. Didn't like the switches. ============ LINKY While I'd love to post another Chyros-homage review, I'd have to go back and watch 5 or 6 of his videos to get into that groove. Why I bought this: I hadn't tried the Gateron optical switches, yet. There...

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...

Looks like Ascaii hasn't been on in ages. He was a good dude. He was cutting down when he was still here so I'm not surprised he left entirely. Real life and family is more important than keyboards after all. I myself stopped coming around since I haven't had a computer for over 4 years now IM BACK...

No clue Its a mystery

Are they any good? (You need to take a sales course, dude )
Linear, clicky, tactile, porridge-y?

Dreadful. So bad I actually threw it out and forgot to delete the picture.

I can only agree with Inozenz about the feel. It is quite nice. As for conversion..I never made an effort to. Since it was a BTX board, its not quite the same as an AT/XT. Cool! Now that I have you - which switches are these switches? (Try saying that quickly a few times; which switches are these s...

... I have a Loewe aswell, the key press is short, like surprisingly short, but very sharp. The tactility is pleasing. Good to hear! Have any of you successfully converted it for use on a PC? I haven't, maybe ascaii did? Tbh I haven't spent enough time on the board. Just ghost typed on it for a few...
