Sorry for bump, but I see no other option
Palatino, Yes, I'm still interested if you own this one I messaged you, man.

OK, I guess cropped versions of #1-4 and #7-8 plus the others as is will do. Not bad

You do the honours and get all the fame & glory for the feat

I'm way too stupid to add the information to the wiki. It would be my honor if you could do that

I'm new here and want to add a keyboard to the wiki. It is a Memorex brended keyboard, no FCC code visible. I'm mostly interested in the switches on this one, I can't identify them. I disassembled one, pictures are attached. If you can, please re-shoot the disassembled switch, this time on a comple...

What do you do when you buy a product that doesn’t work? Send it back for a replacement or a refund, these are a lot of money for it to arrive fucked… I mean, it's stated it might be a possibility before you order it so just don't order one if you don't want to risk having to reattach a spring by y...

I have a New Model F in 62-key layout. When I received it a few keys didn't work reliably or chattered but I have mostly resolved these issues. In one case I removed the existing spring and put in a new one (I have a few spare springs and flippers). I used the technique from the video where you twis...

Been a long time here too, but I just want to extend a hand out and say that Deskthority has helped me in arranging many good trade deals and helping me with my absolutely balls dumb questions. To get me started and in the know on basics and the market of keyboards, how to restore them, and archivi...

Beam Spring project update: I received the B104 Round 2 sample by air mail last week and sent the factory some feedback. The new PCB was slightly misaligned so some keys were not working correctly and there were some small other issues so the factory will be working on remaking this sample and makin...

Leyden Jar update: Rico has just published the open source Leyden Jar diagnostic tool. Now all the project files are ready for future development work to add support for additional keyboards, maybe even non-Model F / beam spring keyboards! https://github.com/mymakercorner/Leyden_Jar_Diagnostic_Tool...

I know all we can really do about stolen keyboards is spread the word of the serial and hope the thief gets caught in trying to sell it but has anyone ever actually been caught this way yet? (obviously if it was a thief on here they'd know we were circulating the serial and just remove the serial st...

Recently i have acquired two olympia ES series typewriter keyboards, one in very nice condition and one in rather bad condition. Since then i have converted the nicer board to stm32 controller, reading up on posts from Purdobol, as he has mapped out the matrix nicely, big thanks if You read this. I ...

I've been doing work on Hercules with a real 3279 and its keyboard. It's been a revelation compared to my M122. The touch is much lighter, with a longer travel past the actuation point. I'm really, really hoping that the beam spring Ellipse is making feels just like it. I don't care about the sound...

Interesting. As a poor consumer with a bad attitude I've been ignoring flowery language with no substance for decades now. I was rejecting such things long before I was ever online. But there are people who are fooled by these things. And it doesn't help that the whole global economy is based on tri...

I'll start worrying when (not if; when...) chat-GPT becomes aware that it's shameful to be identified as such, and dumbs itself down to the level of the average, illiterate human bean. Problem with LLMs (i.e. also ChatGPT) is that they lie in about 20% of the cases. They do it with a great confiden...

Very nice! What type of switches does that beauty use?

That's FLS Gen 3

(Stepped) Obese ISO Enter.

ObISO Enter?

How would you call that Enter key?

[2] [ ] Square Ass Enter

@ betty4920taylor
Your post is quite obviously ChatGPT-generated sh… spam and is blocked from editing anyway.
So if you do not post a less nonsensical answer, and do it soon, we will delete your post and your account.

Oh, by the way, welcome to DT

Hi, I have a keyboard with NMB clicky switches (the one from "Space Invasion"), in ISO-IT (no Windows key, if that's important to you). Still NIB, just tested once.
PM me if you're interested.

With the 25 PCBs in stock, I think you're in a good position to sell them. I'd offer them on github first - for people that just need the PCB but can source the rest (in their own countries - thinking of the USA, where there are many many Model Ms for sale today). Depending on price, I'd like two as...

Looking for ANY set for an alps ISO keyboard.
Dont care if they are scratched or yellowed.
Preferably pretty cheap

Thanks in advance

Hello, Since 2019, I have been using with great satisfaction a Realforce R2 PFU Limited Edition Silent Topre 45g color Ivory (R2TLSA-US4-IV) purchased from PFU EMEA Europe. I like it so much that I decided that I would like to buy another identical one as a spare but sadly I discovered that it is ou...

If you're for real and have a few grand to spare then I'd say go for it, I don't think things can't get any worse short of the site being shut down by the current owners. Oh and yes, of course this site is worth saving, Together with sharktastica's database and possibly Daniel's and very few others,...

Has anyone had a chance to use their 2583g lube yet? I am curious as to the results. I think I'm going to replace all the springs on my Salmon switches to lower their activation force a bit, so might as well apply lube and any necessary "paper fix" at the same time. What is the next best lube to use...

Not necessarily - as noted on the product pages you would want to check the production keycap photos to see if they cover your desired key arrangement. From what I can see, the sets include the 1U | \, 1U Fn, 1.75U Right Shift, but not a 1.5 backspace, 1.75 Ctrl, or 1.25 caps lock. As noted earlier,...

Just reminded about this again by email:

https://ursa.fkcaps.com

this would be so awesome if there would be ISO DE support, I still got a gutted novatouch that would be perfect for this

...But I can envision some kind of metal arm that swings in and out that could serve the same purpose. My advice is to build a custom rig that holds the keyboard and can swing in and out from under the desk. If you have a bit of welding experience (or have a friend who does), it could be a fun proj...
