Another pic of the IBM theme: Honey theme:

How much work was that TrackPoint with SA? It's pretty easy.. just a few minutes with the dremel. The G and H key skirts need the corners shaved down, which is the most destructive part. So it's good to have the GHB kit in case I want a set for use on a non-TrackPoint board or resell them. All of t...

Thank you. It's a custom board built a while back as part of a group buy run by matt3o.

Round 5 IBM style

7bit/bot.. Thank you for the insane job you're doing. The R5 caps arrived today. Sorting all these caps must be a monumental task. I'm missing the !/1 key for HONEY/STANDARD/BLACK. Can you send it, or do I need to find someone who received an extra one in the aftermarket thread? The kit is also miss...

This is a beautiful shot.

I've checked (took me <2 seconds) and found your order at the bottom of a list called "Round 5a" yet to be sent to the manufacturer...

Hooray!!

Great pictures, Madhais. The gray bottom row doesn't look bad and the lotus caps are stunners.

If you want to dim the LEDs using PWM there are certain pins you need to reserve for them. Your matrix can be wired to any other general I/O pins. D6 is the one you want to skip as it's connected to the Teensy's LED. You could test connectivity using an Ohm meter but it's probably easier just to fla...

7bit you are a machine

Big thanks to 7bit again, these caps are delicious.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiceee B-) Loving the cappening....

Mu, can you post a pic of a full size kb w/ honey set, red escape and black numkey pad? That may be the closest homage to the Honeywell original.

Wow.. The Round 5 caps look great. The darker grey looks nice, and all the non-yellowy whiteness. These caps/colors should be standard issue and perpetually for sale. They are timeless and mix & match in so many ways. Thanks for the pics, Muirium!

wcass, will the kits be for sale at some point?

Yesssssss. Great, classic colors and lots of awesome legends. Looks like SP still can't get shif t right. The mu looks like it is also floating a little over baseline, if that matters.

See the SSII Controller Board section of this page: http://deskthority.net/wiki/MX13_SpaceSaver_Keyboard#TrackPoint_IV If your source keyboard was the same, that can help you. If not, then yes, just follow the traces from your rubber dome sheets. Many IBM TrackPoint modules output PS/2. There are a ...

I loved the keyboards on my HP 48s back in the day. I have a modern retro 35S where the keys are not too bad. Also from what I remember the original Sidekick was a joy to type on, and the Blackberry Passport keyboard is quite good aside from the fact that there is no grip to hold the thing. It's a l...

Holy shit 7bit please don't go insane sorting all those caps! :-O

Congrats, Matteo!! Very well deserved.

Yes! KFC was the most interesting of the finalists.

Yes, lots of interesting things in his shop for self-builds, and some interesting complete kits too. Congrats!!

We need someone to do a run of Colonel escape keys.

If the KFC board wins we can nominate Deskthority for next year's *Ping* award.

This may be a little off topic, but the Blackberry Passport hardware keyboard with capacitive touch sensor is a pretty cool innovation.

Wow, this keyboard is looking great.

I'd like to nominate Keyboard Layout Editor, a great tool for designing custom keyboards!

I don't think it's new this year but I believe it's under active development and may not have been nominated before.
