Anyone know a good place to learn about photography?

I can use an Eos 5d and an Eos7d but I need to learn more

I enjoyed reading this. Good to know that she enjoys what she does.


Still looking forward to the alleged beamspring find however...

Why does this silly topic have so many replies

Very nice.

What switches? They are alps switches right?

Too bad we are all too lazy to actually document all the knowledge in the wiki most of the time

JUST HEARD THIS ITS AMAZING

First up that spring is a problem. You need to fix that buddy. You can do some chopstick trick like mu said to avoid taking the whole kb apart and swap just the spring. Next up, do you have a stabilizer wire for your spacebar? That might be why it is so hard to press. I think the wire thing could be...

mmmm

Need close up on those keys.

Could we get a close up of an individual cap, mainly the legends?

That will help tell if they are Unicomp, which they probably are.

^^

I can help too!

I have a videowriter keyboard, fujitsu peerless keyboard, and an apple keyboard waiting for you.

This. We should have a corner on the main page.

Aw man those look cool. I would love one for my ibm kb's.

Looks pretty cute when its all soggy. Looks like it wants back in the egg

I very much did enjoy it. I love all the insight you put into these videos. The history, known issues, and comparisons.

Please keep making these

Yeah, I tried to dremel the inside of some extra videowriter caps I had and totally fucked it up.

Couple questions, do the solenoid drivers only work with the beamspring controllers? In other words, could I use one on my unsaver?

And can I reserve a beamspring controller but possibly buy based on the possibility of getting one in elecplus's thread?

Looks really good, Chris Pratt is a great actor and I think he fits the part well.

Kind of the opposite of jurassic park.

Why do some caps locks point down?

I have one of these. Still available, brown alps really tactile too.

green alps switches are kinda useless because of their odd size.

Cheers!!

"New look" for my hall effect keypad (much nicer than the original grey textured keycaps): The keypad sits beside my beam spring, of course: http://deskthority.net/resources/image/10376 I still can't properly capture my desk setup in a single photo.

xwhatsit beamspring controller.

If the key on the 8 key is two piece, I bet you its from a model M.

Model F's were used on terminals, with special functions. So that explains no numlock.

Finally, a custom compact keyboard with regular sized right shift.

@ macmakkara You might have the regular version of the unsaver. I would be very interested in seeing some in depth photos of yours. Everything, inside and out. We could compare backplates ;) Yes mine is regular version that works with soarers converter :p but i changed in xwhatits cause my soarers ...

Well, I am a ginger, so that's where the "red" comes from in my username.

"maus" just sounds cool.

ADB doesn't work on Amiga. Besides, I already have 3 ADB trackballs (including one Microspeed) that I could use if it was possible... which it certainly isn't. The Microspeed I was using on the Amiga was PS/2. (through PS/2 to Amiga adapter) Yeah thats what I thought. Oh well. I bought this so I co...

My Microspeed is adb. Could I see the connector on yours?

This is great. I love the silver case.
