Only ebay kids will get this one

Can you explain that for the non-"ebay kids"? I don't get it.

This ad (and similar ones) is constantly appearing on ebay


So I replaced it with a nixdorf

Had a little bit of fun making some Chryos gifs

Very clean and professional work! The cherry mount switches are definitely an upgrade and give him lots of options for keycaps in the future.

I'm glad your reverse engineering of the plate measurements worked out the first time. Plate mistakes can get expensive quickly!

Fixed image links for you :) I like the Futaba switch. So I studied a lot about this switch, and I got a lot of knowledge. A month ago, I got a request for a keyboard modification. He's been using the EAT-1010 for a long time, and over time, some switches started to break. And he wanted to use usb i...

Do you have a photo? I thought those were PBT, no?

I secretly kind of like this one.

Thanks. Can I use those "int" pins?

Yes, "int" just means that those pins can be used for interrupts.

Yeah, sorry for the tame photos. I wanted to take this further, in general, to show more of the inside of the board. But I'm at the point where I have so many disassembled boards in my living room that I just can't manage one more. Many more pictures to come (and a workshop thread) once I wrap a cou...

From a little bit of research I've been doing it looks like the most common way of converting fujitsu leaf spring boards is by handwire, but I was thinking about reaching out to the QMK people/snacksthecat to see if we could figure out how to convert it with its native protocol, although it might b...

@PancakeMSTR

Have you tried different usb cable(s)? Are you using a usb hub? These are a few things that have tripped me up in the past with stuff like this.

No clue if these will actually help but wanted to share my experience. I will try to think of other things as well.

Are you willing to open the keyboard up? Try to see if the non-working switches are all connected as either a row or a column. I had this same keyboard and had a similar problem with a handful of keys not working. It turned out to be a dead diode of all things. To repair it, I desoldered the diode t...

Thank you for putting that together. I'm just getting set up on a new PC and I think this might be one of the first things I do.

My unpopular opinions thread was better

Trying to get a bit more organized. I have a few things to ship out and thought my new white board would be the perfect vehicle to plan out my work. From left to right the boxes mean: Find it Prepare it Pack it Label it We run a pretty tight ship here at Snacks Cat Industries. https://i.imgur.com/k3...

Temporary setup while I transfer files and stuff.

Caught myself yelling this out the other day.

I'm so happy with what's happening to this board. Was the plate red like that stock? Nah, Delirious painted it. Looks great, right? I had a little bit of fun seeing what the board looks like with these SantiGo cables https://i.imgur.com/KxYqRyl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WMfLZSd.jpg https://i.imgur.co...

Is that keyboard on the lower right the one I think it is?

You butter believe it!


Because it's smooth like butter

Just reconfigured things after getting a new PC. The cables hanging from the desk are all the USB cables I find myself needing all the time. I'm trying to figure out a way to organize them a little bit.

Feeling cute. Might post more later

I wish I had a good way to test keyboards after remapping. I pretty much depend on the Switch Hitter software that Elite Keyboards put out a long time back. https://i.imgur.com/sAXlQBp.png Today I came across this program which looks interesting as well. I might give this one a go. https://github.co...

These keycaps have me drooling. What type of keyboard is this?

Edit: Oh, duh. There are more pictures in the listing.

Decided it was time for a new PC and opted for the tiny route this time.

La croix can for scale but you really gotta see it in person to appreciate how small it is.

I'm looking for some sort of vintage board that I'd classify as obscure and interesting. I don't have any strict criteria but I'll list off some bullet points for what's going through my mind. None of these are must-have aspects, just some clues. Old[ish] Chunkier/bulkier than necessary Obscure swit...

Okay, I had some good momentum going with this project for a while but then I stuck it back on the shelf. Going to try and finish it off this weekend, though. I wasn't happy with the retrobrite results so I finally picked up some 12% peroxide. I'm going to give this a go, along with the oxyclean dus...

If it was the 1-eyed space invaders, I'd ask you to keep it (someone recently reached out to me looking for those switches). Keyboard uses 2-eyed space invaders so not the rare type I guess? I wildly prefer the 2-eyed space invaders. They feel much smoother to me. Never had a clean board to compare...

I pulled a couple of boards but for the mods and spacebar you're gonna need an rt-101. I think I have a couple but I take forever to follow up with people (sorry).

In any case, I wanted to share this ebay listing that just popped up.

I for sure have a bunch of small left shifts.

Mine were totally bled out, yellowed. So beware. Did you buy a used or NOS assembly? NOS Not trying to minimize your concern but this is exactly why I hate selling keyboards online, especially to people I don't know. You end up spending all your time playing customer service rep and "making things ...
