I'm trying to find a keyboard which is tenkeyless, but has additional function keys I can rebind -- something like the Sun Compact 1 (https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=21219) but ideally with a more modern interface so I don't have to use an adapter. I don't mind a slightly wider keyboard...

I'm mostly interested in the switches on this one, I can't identify them..

Thanks a lot! Here it is: wiki/Memorex_ASSY_NO_623393

So, anyone can tell who Tom Fischer is? Otherwise wiki/File:Displaywriter.jpg needs replacement.

Hi, Whenever a user tries to upload a file to the Deskthority wiki, Mediawiki shows a form with a generic introduction. This intro was suboptimal for the current situation (literally thousands of unlicensed pictures stored, and people adding to that number) so I changed it at least for those using U...

Anybody recognise this keyboard, or know what switches it has? I can't find anything about the brand or the keyboard online.

Looks like the same box as this Podworld keyboard: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26733
my guess is it uses KPT switches

Possibly a Focus FK-555 clone like this one:

https://deskthority.net/wiki/Tulip_9151B I am not overly familiar with vintage boards and thus I do not know how closely the manufacturers would follow the quasi-standard set by IBM for the keyboard-layout and switch-positioning. Do you think there could be a more or less drop-in replacement for a T...

It's an IBM 3276 compatible keyboard with Futaba MD switches.

There are lots of IBM compatible keyboard that use non-IBM switches such as Honeywell SD and Keytronic foam and foil switches.

Is it OK if I add an entry for you in https://deskthority.net/wiki/Help:Contents#Copyright stating your photos in DT are all public domain unless specified otherwise? That would make it unnecessary to ask you again and again, if you see what I mean ;) You mean this question? I gave an "all around" ...

Which ones are you going to use? Not sure yet, for now I'll download them in case you want to get rid of them before I get around to it. I noticed some of those boards have never been photographed in the wiki so they are valuable. Is it OK if I add an entry for you in https://deskthority.net/wiki/H...

I put one of the images on the iKBC site into Google Translate to find what the Chinese characters before "Poker" meant. 0c087751-2f63-4020-9ce1-e9796b27e5de.jpeg According to that diagram, the successor to the 2015 Poker 3 is called the 2016 "New Poker". That model matches the images at the top of ...

Welcome to DT :) I'm presuming https://www.ikbc.com.tw is the same people, just using a separate English portal? I can't find a forum link to update the reference in the https://deskthority.net/wiki/KBC article. The latter should probably be renamed to "ikbc" leaving a redirect behind. As for the di...

Hello, small note about your wiki. In spite of KBC having changed name to ikbc, their Poker models have differences: Fn key combinations are relocated ikbc version has one programmable layer dip switches have different functions I recently bought a used ikbc Poker with Cherry MX browns. Aside from l...

keyboard.jpg I've had hours of entertainment playing with keyboard-layout-editor.com. This is my latest 94-key variant of the 84-key AT layout, based on the taylorswifttttt circuit board (https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28241), an xwhatsit, and modification of the AT's lower row to acco...

Hello all! A good friend of mine looking for 10pcs, (in fact he doesn't need more than 7 pieces, but to be safe he asks 3 more) of "SMK inverse cross mount". It is for a Tulip Keyboard that want to repair. So please if anyone have some spares let me know. :) EU Transaction preferred. Thank you! Here...

The IBM controller is hooked to its circuit board with solid core wire. Do I need anything specific to wire the swifttttttt board to the xwhatsit, or will ordinary "hook-up wire" from eBay work? There's no one correct solution. Last time I soldered an xwhatsit, I took a single strand of a 40 pin ID...

Wow this thread is pretty cool, let me see which images aren't in the roster of headers images and add them.

Maybe fix everything else that’s wrong with the site first you sweaty bellend.

OK, I extended https://deskthority.net/wiki/Help:Contents again, now mentioning the topic of opinions, suggesting the first edit for absolute beginners as well as the reference style (I know @002 also supports named references) , and finally adding a basic Code of conduct. I hope you find it all acc...

My 2 cents on this - People in general only put their sites behind Cloudflare for 2 reasons : a. caching b. DDOS protection Setting up your site with Cloudflare doesn't mean that by default you will always have it check if you're a bot each time anyone connect to it, like DT does now. Someone had to...

Interesting to see a 555 with Northgate badging and Omron switches. Northgate claimed in one of their ads that they used ALPS switches in their "C/T" keyboards (FK-727/747 and FK-555) as well as in the Omnikeys: https://deskthority.net/wiki/images/3/32/Omnikeygen1ad.jpg Apparently that wasn't always...

Thanks for your support thefarside. My interest check for this is because the current ownership is expected to end quite soon according to their own statements and outside of someone outright buying it or gathering funds, the next owners are not obliged to keep the site running in its current form,...
