I bought two of these thingies the other day. They're off-camera flash extension cables. They were very inexpensive and surprisingly good quality. So I promptly ripped the head off of one of them! Well really more like cut the tail off but the other way sounds more dramatic. https://i.imgur.com/x6Mz...

Today did some super macro shots of a deconstructed Alps dampened cream switch. I enjoy playing with this lens but have trouble finding things small enough to photograph with it. It's starting magnification is 2.5x and goes up to 5x so stuff have to be really tiny to fit the frame. All these photos ...

Today, an ode to the humble Teensy

Here's today's weird creation.

Special thanks to SneakyRobb because he

Here's today's photo. It only took me like 20 tries to do.

Thanks Robb, I'd like to do one where I'm tossing something at the camera (keycaps, switches, etc.) but haven't nailed it quite yet. In the meantime, here's yet another timelapse. Watch me clean in the background while a dripping wet Russian keypad pans and tilts in the foreground! gjTngEDp7GA My go...

And here's today's submission. I was mostly just playing around with time remapping and trying different intervals. My turntable I use for photogrammatry scans moves too quickly to really be viable for timelapse photography, but there aren't many slow moving things sitting around my apartment (well,...

Well here it is, the pain in the butt timelapse that isn't even that cool in the end! Couple of things, (1) I didn't mean to have such a bad glare. (2) the glass was actually hot glued (lol) to the wood for a few days, during which time I attempted this video multiple times and had to fish out the k...

Well, yesterday's shot was a total bust. So I'll write a little explanation of what I was trying to do, and we'll call that yesterday's photo. I was trying to do a panning timelapse of a cup of keycaps + ice melting / eventually floating to the top once all the ice melted. I recently got a cool litt...

You have good taste! It's a pretty nice board. I'm open to shipping anywhere - but it can be expensive to ship internationally. The Zenith isn't exactly "light" either >_< Just received TODAY my https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=6173 It only cost me a $31.00USD. Coul...

I want to check all my keyboards now for the date of manufacture. Then as they come up, I will post birthday photos That is also a great idea :lol: This is the photo for Friday I suppose. Much simpler than the timelapse but still a task to set it all up. It is very difficult to drop a handful of ke...

With the COVID-19 stuff going on, I have gobs of free time that I used to spend doing productive things. So having all this extra time on my hands, I thought it would be a cool idea to post an interesting photo/video each day. Well at least that's my plan. I have a couple of novel ideas, but not sur...

Polished this turd

Here's my build log: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105767.0

Dude that's some heavy duty work you did. Can't wait to see how your Xerox build turns out.

"Ctrl + click" club checking in. Now who's with me? Guys???

I just want to say that I admire your keyboard-layout-editor skills.

Sorry for necro.

Sorry for spam.

Sorry for filesize.

Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!

Now that that's out of the way, here's a pretty gif of this keyboard getting some fresh air.

Wow, this is a lot of keyboards! I gotta come back through and take a look when I have some time tonight. But I wanted to pop in because I saw the topic and I have to ask; what do you plan to stand your monitor on after you offload all your keyboards? Well I presume you're not offloading all of them...

Playing around with a few things, putting off housework. The usual. I was using a cheapish ring light that I just got. I think it's a good enhancer but maybe not enough on its own. Also, how great are these colors. Particularly the white/cream one. https://i.imgur.com/N9sK4ol.jpg https://i.imgur.com...

Discussion in the "Interesting Finds" thread got me looking through old brochures and magazine clippings on bitsavers. Some of these ads were quite eccentric, even for the time. Others seem very weird when you look back at them through 2020 eyes. I know IBM stuff holds it's value well. But $18k??? S...

Another ad photo.

And I thought my desk space was sparse.



This is from one of the brochures on bitsavers.

Also, where are all the men in these promotional materials?

Please permeate my plastic with your pigments.



original/hi-res:

Cool, I love unique stuff like this. It's obscure but it has the added bonus of the most popular keycap mount style. IMO the GMK modifiers you used look quite nice with the dye subs. I'd probably go for a different space bar since that color kind of comes out of the blue at you but that's my taste. ...

It's just a photo edit I made for myself, thread about making it real soon

Oh wow, looks great. I thought it was real at first. Now that I look again, I can see some of that good old IBM beige peeking out.

Over the past few days I've been twiddling my thumbs wondering what to do next. I don't feel like scanning another board right now because it requires me to set a lot of stuff up and creates a big mess. So I shifted my focus to my PC to see what other photogrammetry software could produce. This HHKB...

for that price you could at least rotate the pictures properly

MFW my girlfriend and I just finished moving all my old keyboards to the basement and a package arrives containing 3 more keyboards...

How about a Industrial IBM Model F?

How you do dis?

Hey Felima, surprised to see you posting in the DT marketplace again. I heard last time you bought something through here, the seller really dropped the ball. https://i.imgur.com/orUcf5j.gif Why, what was the problem? I was the seller, USPS lost the package I sent :( Tracking info has been stuck on...

Can I get a closeup of the pump head actuator mechanism? I'm trying to source some replacement parts for my unbranded "Mango Dreams" scented model.
