Re: First keyboard for neophyte
.. BTW, mine main workhorse is an IBM Model F AT 1985. It took me few days to train my muscle memory, but now I'm used to the keyboard layout I love it very much.

Re: First keyboard for neophyte
Thanks to all. If compare with modern full brass keyboards, what is better on quality, IBM old school? I have a two year old Unicomp and a 1986 IBM Model M, the IBM Model M is a lot better. Vintage IBM keyboards are built like a tank, if they look good, you can buy these without hesitations. Some c...

Re: First keyboard for neophyte
An 1985 IBM Model M silver badge is my current favourite, I type fast on it and it's built like a tank. The clear crisp click and nice keystroke makes it better than later Model M and Unicomp keyboards.

Re: Why do you need foam on your model f?
I used left over underlay for laminate floorboards, it has the right thickness and compressibility needed. Also used some underlay foams I had leftover. The thin underlay works great, I think it's about 1.25 mm. Thick underlay (2.5 mm with a plastic coating) didn't worked at all, couldn't close the...

Re: Alps Appreciation
Wow, pristine blue alps switches. They deserve a good heavy keyboard.
I recently got a Chicony with blue Alps, it's ok, but it's like a Lada with a Ferrari motor. Great switches, good electronics (N-Key rollover), shit housing.

Great switches, no question, tons of thanks to lsoelxi for doing this GB!

It seems to me all switches are fine, the keyboard reacted when you pressed the key. Are you using a Soarers PS/2 USB adapter ?

And USB-B is the right decision, mini or micro connectors are not as reliable.
