The problem I have is that holding shift (or any other modifier) on one side doesn't activate it on the other. In the instructions, I see something about a workaround involving numlock state? I'm not sure if this is supposed to address the issue, but if so, I'm not sure how to make use of it. I'm u...

Finally closed and nuked, while searching for something else. Always hit Report instead of just replying, folks. That way it winds up in the moderator inbox.

Hello I am getting some ghosting.. That is, while typing, extra characters or the volume button gets activated etc.. Usually, this is because the solder joints on the PCB are contacting the back of the case.. I have taped it up with that clear brown tape used to prevent electrical shorts.. But no lu...

Hello My F77 has started to spam or ghost.. That is, I get extra key presses. I have added tape (I can't recall the name, but a clear-ish brown tape) over the solder joints on the back of the PCB.. As well as anything metal like the screws etc.. But I am still getting them. I haven't been able to lo...

When I got my DSETK0023CE03 keyboard with my X68000 I noticed that the BREAK and COPY keys were much heavier than the other switches (which is also true of some other Alps boards). While looking up information on the PCB I found this site which shows the entire keyboard disassembled which reveals so...

I don't know if this will ever happen honestly, but I kind of feel like I've lost the motivation to go further with my keyboard hobby. It didn't last long and it may return, but for now I have everything I could possibly want from a keyboard. I got a couple artisan keycaps, some nice gear (switch pu...

They already had their fun. They were just a spammer copypasta someone else.

My hope is that my Keyboard Directory will help with such questions in the future but it's still a WIP. There are only 4 unique F122s currently in it (can search "F122" to see them) but I'll work on them this evening so more may appear shortly. But in lieu of that, you're welcome to post a photo of ...

Positively superlative! :ugeek: Do you also keep a serial number database for these user-submitted boards, or am I thinking of someone else? Actually, I think it was you: :D https://sharktastica.co.uk/topics/kb_birth_certs I can't remember if I submitted my own small collection, including this Kishs...

Are you sure your controller is 32u4? As I recall, all of Xwhatsit's original controllers—including the one I installed in my AT—are 32u2. The chip makes a difference. Their hex files are incompatible. As I recall, I laid out my AT based on this starting point in Pandrew's configurator: http://35.16...

sensy do you have any more details on your mod? Does the caps lock provide a second layer for both halves? I am not sure. Yes, both num lock and caps lock (and scroll lock but I’m generally scared of that function for reasons) activate separate layers for both halves. There’s also no reason why you...

EDIT: all gone, thanks for your interest! Some things I have in my collection I no longer want, I will send to you for cost of posting. I am in the UK (Cambridge) so posting to UK will be preferred. Local pickup in Cambridge also an option to avoid postage cost. I would expect these to be a Royal Ma...

I've been using my Split Ortho F for a bit, but couldn't quite get it to behave the way I wanted it to - I basically wanted two different momentary layers, so the current NumLock thing wasn't quite enough. I cobbled together a QMK-profile for the boards using wolfman's F62 profile (and the src-files...

Hello all! I am on more than a year long quest to revive old keyboard from Gavilan SC laptop/desktop computer from 1984 (I only have the keyboard) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavilan_SC. Firstly please look at the photos and tell me what switch is this? I was looking throught whole internet search...

This is the story of my journey to bring todays technology to an IBM M122 keyboard. I started my professional carrer as a computer developer using the monsterous IBM keyboards that came with the IBM data terminals. Now, I wanted to bring back some nostalgic feelings into my everyday prodfessional li...

Awesome find - photekq no doubt is the ultimate Cherry Picker :mrgreen: In fairness, I didn't find this one! I believe all examples of this model were found by str0hkopf on reddit. I was just fortunate enough to be able to buy it off someone else :mrgreen: Hmm. The first 4×2 group of F-keys is abou...

I want to be a nuisance to others in the office. Nah I'm just kidding. I didn't really have a preference starting out (bought the Das keyboard for the look and the knob, so I didn't really care that much about the switch as I wasn't invested in keyboards like I am now), but then I bought the keyboar...

So, I got the F50 to serve as a numpad for the F62. (In case anyone is interested, I also implemented support for it in my AAKBD firmware .) I just put a lot of F-keys in the two leftmost blocks for now, and blank keys in the numpad split positions while I'm considering the layout. Any ideas for wha...

Thank you so much for the information. I hadn't come across that page yet. I did manage to find out how to control the other LEDs though! I decided to brute force it last night. I figured it was probably using the same two byte method that the other LEDs were, just with a different begging byte. All...

Anyone else been get a lot of "this site is unavailable' the past couple of days?

I got that as well. Seems something broke somewhere.

Also nice progress on the cases, can't wait to see the fully assembled version.

Just registered to contact the right people: I own a keyboard branded Telekom, but probably made by Ericsson. It is in very good condition, working, has never been repaired. I assume this is a fairly rare keyboard. In any case, I haven't seen anything like this like this anywhere else except here in...

Hello all!

Can someone please identify this Alps Keyswitch?

It’s has only the “Alps” logo at the back. Nothing else.

Thank you!

Today the project was featured in Hypebeast! A design studio and retailer company, JJJJound, purchased some F62 keyboards with a custom keycap design with the intention of reselling. They posted the product today on their blog and everything sold out within one day. (n.b., I still have stock of F62 ...

NathanA provided a a good summary of the major reasons why the F77 is not in the official QMK code base. Why no F77 support? The QMK maintainer want a small set of files to review. I decided to first attempt to get my refactor build of the F62 firmware with two keymaps into the official QMK code ba...

Having experienced repeating keystrokes while using the Model F that has been "in rotation" for a few years, I pulled in my most convenient backup, a Northgate Omnikey 101, and have been using it for a couple of weeks. It is a very nice keyboard but I sorely missed the "extra" keys that I programmed...

Hey y'all, I've had this ITW switch board for awhile now, and I continuously can't find any information about it online. It works with modern computers, its basically plug and play with a couple of adapters (a DIN to PS2 and a PS2 to usb in my case). I wanted to know if anyone else has one of these ...

Hello guys, I have an ITAC Professional Mouse-Trak and I would like to change the bearings as I have a clicking noise in one direction which I would like to eliminate (and I don't see where else it could have come from). Would anyone with this device be able to identify the bearing reference? They a...

My favorite Model F 122-key has developed an impossible case of repeatingggggggggg certain keyssssssssss. The keyboard and its internal Soarers Teensy have operated flawlessly since I built the unit 6-8 years ago, and this problem is new. Nothing about its environment has changed in a couple of year...
