Just bought a nice HHKB Pro 2 for a decent price (£170)
How hard is it to get used to the backspace being in a strange location?

someone already has bidded that, I'm betting it's the seller using a different account trying to drive up the price of a mediocre cherry keyboard (my opinion)

I find it's easier to do it with a dremel as they are smaller and lighter to hold but a drill press would be your best option if you have the luxury. And yes you can modify the flipper arrangement to suit either ANSI or ISO as the underlying membrane sheets have an identical layout. Replacement full...

SSK with OBO enabled for anyone looking to try and lowball: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Model-M-1391472-Space-Saver-Mechanical-Clicky-Keyboard-SSK-PS-2-1987-/382040989033?hash=item58f36add69:g:seMAAOSwnF9Y760g That's a shame, ever since Patrick left MRC they have dropped international shipp...

So I've been forced to use Mac OS for over a week now and being a life-long Windows and DOS user I of course absolutely didn't understand the point of it at all xD . I was particularly stumped by lots of windows getting lost without appearing in the taskbar, the weird structure of the taskbar to be...

P.S. your mug matches your HHKB too, down to the esc key

I get about two weeks out of my MX Master

Some real country

Letting a keyboard get in to that state in the first place should be considered a crime. Absolutely gross.

I take it you'd use your kb101a if you had to choose a main board?

Try shipping a beamspring from Canada to the UK. That was painfully expensive and painfully slow :( I haven't done a large scale comparison, but Canada Post international shipping (excluding U.S.) is among the most expensive, if not the most expensive, in the world. I did do one direct comparison a...

I use one for a week then swap it out and the board I use at work gets swapped out monthly.

I wouldn't even pay that for it honestly. The condition is pretty poor.
Anyway does anyone know where I can get a cable for a model f 84 key? Scored one for 50 pounds but it has no cable

Just won this Industrial Model M13, unfortunately last minute sniper bids raked up the price significantly but I still think i got it for a decent price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142311034518?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I think this seller sold a similar product earl...

A reddit user is selling an unsaver on mechmarket: https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/5z090y/eude_h_ibm_model_f104key_unsaver_tkl_model_f/ 1200?

Them spring rolls look yum

Got lucky on an industrial M13 but thought I'd play with it a little and am thinking about putting on black M13 buttons/labels. Buttons are photoshopped in but I have a spare set from a bad M13 keyboard (that's where the label came from). It came with red and black trackpoint rubber tops. I like th...

You get the new keyboard layout which really hurts for a bit ... but it's neat in the backlit version.

Or you could put a USB 3.0 express card in the t420 like I did, works great!

... though I do wonder why you'd opt to paint it yourself. Glutton for punishment? :D Part of it probably is the DIY aspect, but mostly ... between the paints on the market and my OCD, I think I can end up with something more awesome than a shop would do. And fohat's link kinda won me over. A few y...

A burger in a doughnut?

Take it to someone that does powdercoat paint jobs for a living, they will remove the old paint for you. Would they get upset if I opted to do the paint job myself? Hi Mr./Ms. Powdercoater! I'd like you to remove the paint off this. But don't powdercoat it; gonna paint it myself. :( I don't know wh...

It's probably worth the money if you have it to spare. Did you see my guide? https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/ibm-model-f-107-key-terminal-restoration-by-harry-t11851.html?hilit=harry%20107 I had not seen that guide. That looks beautiful! Any advice on sanding/removing the old paint? Because tha...

Definitely get it powdercoated!

Wodan throwing a tantrum you mean?

There are different levels of appreciation for youtube videos, to me they are not much more than entertainment. Even before he started doing contract/commercial reviews this has been adressed here. Despite several requests he has refused to transfer any of his finding to the wiki or another searcha...

I don't understand why people are posting their views on this as if it's up for any sort of discussion... If people want to donate, let them. Whether Chyros can afford the equipment without donations, or whether he actually 'needs' them is irrelevant. It seems to me like he just wants to show he's p...

A friend of mine has finally come across both an Industrial SSK and a Kishsaver, I am way too excited to get my hands on them!! I hope nothing happens to me in the next few weeks, I need them in my life. You, sir, have all the things. Goodness gracious. Haha I still don't own an unsaver though unfo...

Damit, I purchased a stock novatouch tkl recently with the intention of doing all the mods you have done. Wish I would've waited now and just bought yours.
