My perfect mouse would be the Logitech G502 with the G600's 12 side buttons. I am in awe of those who can navigate more than two side buttons on a mouse! I play a lot of World of Warcraft,so I've had a lot of time to adapt,makes gaming so much easier with the bulk of your abilities under your thumb.

Cool build! That cable is awesome, I hope you have a matching one for the usb. I didn't find a matching one, instead, I'm waiting for a black sleeved 90 degr magnetic cable form china. The Pro Micro micro-usb connector is too weak for normal use. I already broke one. :) That's why I put a drop of e...

Swill has a plate builder if you are not aware about it by some strange chance.
This is probably it: http://builder.swillkb.com/
There is a lot of discussion about it on geekhack.
I never used it myself.

I used it to design the top plates for my BFO-9000,it's pretty easy to use.

So, and this isn't an insult. Why don't you make this keyboard and then tell us why you feel its better? Oh, I certainly want to! See my comment above about being obsessed with actually building a keyboard and how I'll be doing a 75% if all goes well. I am more of a software than a hardware guy, an...

Ok, but then what? There's not much point to split the space bar if both keys will produce the same characters. Typically, the left space bar is remapped to be Backspace. Others have taken a liking to putting Tab there. What would I do? Me being me, I press the space bar with my left thumb exceedin...

Not sure if mechanical or not,but it does look rather interesting,and it's pretty cheap if I didn't have an AEK II in the mail I'd be all over this just for the way it looks The listing description says "Rubber dome, PS/2, DIN5 connection, it works." And that's what I get for posting something whil...

That is a hell of a Model M mod,not sure all the extra brass and leather is worth what they're asking.

Only one I remember seeing was the Frogpad, but with QMK and chording you could easily duplicate it's functionality with half a Levinson/Let's Split.

For my RC128BM it was hitting S,D,and either of the 2 switches under Space with this layout-https://imgur.com/KGEcHTu ,I could trigger the beeping with that pattern any where on the bottom 3 rows,it used to drive me nuts how often I'd get the beeeeep when I'd try to hit a combination of keys.

[…] If you have no inclination to manually edit .c files QMK Configurator allows you to design your layout then compile it,you then download the completed hex and flash the boards,it's pretty easy to figure out . I confess I have not the slightest idea how to compile anything and even less how to f...

Heck yes,I'm very much down for getting a staggered battleship to pair with my oversized ortho BFO-9000.

I was leaning towards saying it was a Tipro,but those number keys look just like the ones on a Protech KB-128- http://www.protech.com.tw/Products/prod ... ?PM_ID=513 ,It might be an older version.

TiproMID-KM064A for a decent price.
Another in black

Not sure about the RS232,but PS/2 only works with 32 bit Windows,and no a VM won't work.,a bootable thumbdrive with Windows 10 installed with WinToUsb will work though.

I've seen some one drill a very shallow hole in the keycap,then place a ball bearing on the hole and use a soldering iron to heat the ball till melts into the hole,looked really nice as well,pretty sure you should test that on some keycaps you don't care about before you try it on the ones that came...

Found an interesting looking Wyse terminal board- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WYSE-m ... :rk:9:pf:0

That's the dome version of the Wyse PCE.

That would explain the low price then.

Licenses are per computer,so it shouldn't be much of an issue,plus if it doesn't authenticate you just lose the ability to set a wallpaper while you program the board.

If you don't want to maintain a second system to program a Tipro board you can grab a copy of 32 bit Win 10,then use WinToUsb to make a bootable USB3.0 drive,then just boot into that drive and program the board. It's a bit of a pain in the butt but it works.

From what I found on this page- https://madmount.com/tandata/ it looks like the 4000 was Cherry MX,not sure which switch type though.

Hey all, sorry for the necro, but I didn't see any recent posts about this. I have recently built a board using the Amoebas, but I am stuck on finding a non-frustrating way to create the tiny bridge wires. I'm having trouble stripping the ends and preventing them from getting bent out of shape beca...

Nothing says old school like an acoustic coupler,wonder if those even work over modern lines these days.
