[…] what do you mean with "You can help"? By writing "I can help", I meant that I do have 14 single 1u black keycaps with transparent lids. But perhaps you should consider replacing the relegendable keycaps with "normal" ones, i.e. keycaps fitting Cherry MX (and MY) switches. Have a look there: htt...

Hy, at first,I don`t have any knowlege about keyboards. I`ve following keyboard: Tipro TMC-KMCV-C13-025 and I`ve following keycaps: https://www.cmd-key.com/online-store/cmd_key-for-EOS-Replacement-Key-Base-p525223831 That works fine for me. The keyboard has 10 "double size" keys.but my keycaps have ...

>>Muirium>> I'm fine. I meant exactly between 14:00 and 17:30 17.1. 2023. "All" was a strong expression :) >>TNT>> They stutter the most in F- line. Top row 123 also a lot. Letters also a little bit. Stabilized big keys is OK. >>fohat>> Yes, I like them better than mechanical logitec G512. Very stur...

[…] they charge 50 USD for custom legend on a 1U key. If I were you, I would invest into the tooling, make 50 keysets, leave a couple for myself and resell the rest. … each additional set is priced at just 20% of the initial set, it then costs 260 USD and the total cost is then 1,300+(49*260)=14,04...

[…] they charge 50 USD for custom legend on a 1U key. If I were you, I would invest into the tooling, make 50 keysets, leave a couple for myself and resell the rest. As a matter of fact, ordering more than just one set and reselling all the rest for exactly your buying price is just a zero sum oper...

I saw an interesting thing, since the last Windows 11 update (Preview Build 25247 / November 14, 2022), The old french AZERTY layout is now named "French (Legacy, AZERTY)" and Microsoft support 2 new standardized french layouts (Standard AZERTY and Standard BÉPO). French (Standard, AZERTY) Layout : ...

If Santa’s really close and gets a move on, it’s doable. But no sea crossings. Those reindeer are already booked. Also, maybe skip Britain. There’s just too much gaining going on here. When are the postal strikes? Thursday 1 December Friday 9 December Sunday 11 December Wednesday 14 December Thursd...

Just a few things about this new layout (Quebec CSA) : This layout was developed by a civil servant working for the government of Quebec in the late 80s (Alain Labonté). Unfortunately, he died recently, last summer. The goal was to modernize the traditional Canadian French layout made by IBM by limi...

Any idea what shipping to the US of A would be? I fear it's cheaper for me to just order a batch of my own.

It doesn't seem too bad, € 14 tracked unless I'm missing something.

I recently posted my "The Franken XT" keyboard and I wanted to do a post that documented that effort. Wheelwriter_XT_MAshup.jpg The goal was to use an extra XT case I had laying around and insert a Wheelwriter 70 assembly. I saw an interesting comment on Reddit that indicated the Wheelwriter barrel ...

I was able to map the matrix, typing on it now! Used Level1Techs MStar controller, Mini M version since it has the dual 16 pin triomates, as Wheelwriter's actually have 2x15 trace connectors although it only uses half (8 traces) of the row connector of course and only 14 if the columns as column 0 h...

I assume you are following https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/spi_driver.md and https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/APID/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/MCP23008-MCP23S08-Data-Sheet-DS20001919.pdf. Overall, I would expect: Two address pins are hardwired to fix S...

So I've restored a few boards recently with a process that I feel gets great results by relatively unsophisticated methods and I feel like a documentation of the process and general rundown of the results of this process across several switch families would be good for anyone who happens to find a c...

4. Add a Custom Keyboard If you’re setting up your own Configurator, it’s likely that the reason for this is to test out your own keyboard firmware. The instructions below will explain how to do that. It took me a lot of experimenting before I was able to get everything working. I wanted to avoid m...

There are actually three extra switch positions on that plate. The two next to the up arrow and the one above and to the left. My Gen2 102 with the same plate does not have pads on the PC board for switches there, and I've never seen a Northgate that actually used those switch positions. And I have ...

I have a Focus FK-555. The shape of the board is really similar your are right. But the construction of the focus is way better than this one. And there was no trace of focus inside the board... It really looks more similar to the TTI TA-14... But again, no certitude about it... Her my Focus FK-555 ...

I'm sorry to hear that. Having lost both my grandfathers to cancer (one skin, one brain) I know how much it hurts. Apologies for any hurt from my cheap jab. Apology accepted. Cancer’s the ultimate son of a bitch. I could be misunderstanding but wouldn't this be a candidate for the QMK firmware loca...

Now, I'm such a QMK rube (beyond Pandrew on Xwhatsit hardware) that I don't even know how to assign controller pins and such. Searching the supported keyboard list on QMK Configurator brings up this similar controller for Model Ms but it runs on the STM32 MCU which is completely different silicon a...

The earlier SGIs, in the "Alps Bigfoot" case, were boss. Sixty for one of those would be fair. But this? Hard pass. Thanks for clarifying ! I thought i stumbled upon something really special , since here in germany , we dont have a lot of silicon graphics stuff and somewhere in the back of my head ...

The MK06 is a now obsolete KVM switching keyboard that can emulate a variety of trading keyboards. It is full-size, with three small LCD screens and two add-on keypads. The trading function keys tend to be garishly colored. The actual host connections, such as USB or PS2, as well as power for the ke...

Thanks to the help from a few folks I have put together a description of the Icon Keys on the Extra Keys page, in order from left to right - please let me know if there are any errors or if you have the Unicode codes for the missing items: Icons Row 1 (Unicode in parentheses): 1. ← Backspace 2. ← Ba...

Hi all. I would like to share a recent purchase of this collectible computer in the state of NIB. This is an Acer 710 computer with an 8088 processor. I got it brand new, in original boxes. Along with the computer, there was also his native Acer KB-101A mechanical keyboard on the legendary Alps SKCM...

Oh man, this makes me real sad. The last DM I got from Seebart was in 2017: IBM 6298329 Sent: 25 Apr 2017, 14:46 From: seebart Recipient: micrex22 Have a look at that keyboard I linked please micrex22 and tell me if you think that might be manufactured by brother also? photos-f62/ibm-rt-e57888-t4101...

Hello again. :) Here is my try to connect XT keyboard to my ts 803 that missing the original keyboard. I just build the adapter but it is not working. With more details, every time I press any keyboard key, system reboot. Any key! LED’s on keyboard working if I press caps or Num lock, but even with ...

Attached is a photo of the instruction sticker from my Avant Stellar, which is the same as the "P" (programmable) Northgates. That doesn't tell the whole programming story, but it will get you in and out of Macro mode. Be aware that the EEPROM on these models that holds the programming is known to ...

UPDATE - It's becoming increasingly more apparent that I am not an electrical engineer to be able to fully understand direction of current flow and properties of phototransistors and such. The ULN2003's seem to be used to effectively "strobe the columns to ground" by completing the circuit using the...
