I'm considering to buy a Corsair Vengeance K95 from a local seller. I usually hate gaming keyboards but this one is pretty decent looking, even if it has 3 columns of stupid macros on the left... I reeally want to try out MX-Reds. How much is it worth? Conditions are nearly perfect

I am also interested if the GB happens and the price is good enough

Are those mechanical?

I found this. It is a Model M, am I right? Is there any possibility this couldn't be a buckling spring, or can I buy it pretty straight forward without overthinking about it? The price now is around 30€...

I recently got this set of Arabian doubleshots, alps mount, and I'm really proud of them:

Televideo Terminal w/ keyboard: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 79&alt=web

Found this keyboard on ebay.it

The seller is listing it as mechanical, here's the switch To me it only looks as a slider on rubber dome, am I right?

Keycaps seems dubleshots and pretty interesting...

I asked the seller (if it's the same Italian acution I was following) and he is asking for 60€ w/o shipping. Too much for a messed pcb in my opinion... Still it has 2 sets of keycaps and the switches are fine

They sound way better than my "old" speakers that I paid more than 4 times as much for

They look cool! How did you manage to amplify them?

Did you win the auction?

If the winner is here on deskthority I could be interested in buying one...

Could this be a mechanical keypad? It looks interesting to me...

Are you sure, that it has doubleshots? There is a more common version with lasered keycaps. If it has doubleshot keycaps 30€ is a very good price for it. I'm interested, if you don't take it. Which layout does it have?
I'm not sure at all. I've only seen the doubleshot keycaps on Mr.Interface ...

How much a Corsair Raptor K1 is worth?

I've found one, brand new, for 30€.

It has MX blacks (which I don't like, that's why i'm unsure about buying it) but it should have nice double shot keycaps. I'm interested because I think the price is very good... What do you think about it?

If someone else ...

Damn, I love the Olivetti Valentine and I really have to get one soon before the prices get higher!

Very nice board! I really like the mouse buttons in that part of the case

Japan never fails to surprise...this doesn't have any sense lol

Also, what's up with the teeth of the girl?

I'm afraid that will not be very usefull. You should find a way to clamp down the usb port to the pcb itself. Very hard

Yeah but it would be better if the connector had a shield like the ones on smartphones to keep the connector itself in place.

One of the reasons I bought the Pro Micro was micro usb, it's bad that I have to use a cable because the micro usb is not strong enough.

They're Mini-DIN 4 and Mini-DIN 5, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector

But I don't know how can you get it to work, I think it will be hard to find an adapter, and even if you find one it's even more hard that it's going to work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj6vVGnW66k Look at 3:30, that thing, if it doesn't have a super-big hardware behind it, it would be very cool for you I think. It could may be a problem to make it work though. Also to find something similar (I don't think you can find that one for a small price as ...

A shame I can't try that registry trick! I'll check the Teensy again with this conversion in mind.

I'm sorry, I was talking about keyboards in general, as Muirium said it'sTipro's ChangeMe utility that isn't compatible with PS2 on 64 bit system.

I think you could just install Windows 7 32bit on ...

It looks interesting, do you know anything about the keyboard?

I don't know where you read that but there's no problem with 64bit system and PS2. The only problem is with Windows 8 but that's not really a problem, in Windows 8 the PS2 ports are de-actived but you can re-activate them modifying the registry, it's pretty simple if you follow a guide. For the ...

no power + water =ok ,i have cleaned many a dirty PCB under the tap .

but pure Vodka is better

Yeah, even if I hate big keyboards I find it really lovely, it's a very interesting keyboard! Also the photos are pretty nice, if they only were a bit bigger resolution...

I'm not the best person to answer your question because there's a lot of people here more competent than me, and if I make some errors I hope someone will correct me.

This said, any keyboard has a controller, either if it is a programmable controller or a not-programmable one. It's different if you ...

That's a sweet find, awesome keycaps!

Damn it would be very cool if you'd be able to clean the board from the sketchy job that has been made. The two screw holes on the pads shouldn't be a problem I think.

Can you give a link to the firmware file? This is all new for me, but I may give this a try.

Also, as I am all new to this, can someone give me a list of all the components that I will need?

It looks like:
1. Female DIN plug
2. 4 wires
3. Pro Micro
4. mini USB cable
point 4 is micro USB cable ...

Usually analog thumbsticks also act as a button when pressed down (I think only Xbox and Ps ones, not PSP ones that are anyway interesting for the different form factor). You should consider using that for something, if you could make it work that coul be a nice addon. Maybe to actuate a layer, but ...
