Re: IBM 3101 Industrial!

Despite the wrong color, I think it looks good, maybe better. Should ask for a discount or redo though if you aren't happy.

Awesome. I've always liked display writers. I'm assuming with some measurements, someone who is good at fabricating, could make wrist rests like this. I think it would make display writers very viable as daily drivers. Thanks for sharing! Maybe one day I'll be able to get one at a reasonable (hopefu...

"Turbo" was (correct me if I'm wrong on some details—I'm too young to have lived through the era) a feature where PCs could be underclocked for use with software that required a particular clock speed for timing. Pressing the Turbo key changed clock speeds between low and normal, making "turbo" a b...

Ok so probably a question (dumb) that has been answered, but are these caps going to be cherry mx? Tired and on my phone, so it's hard to browse.

Re: buckling spring with cherry on top

I wish I could try a set of these if you end up manufacturing them, but I actually don't have any Cherry mount keycaps in a flat profile (just OEM, which wouldn't work with adapters, I presume, given the precurved BS plate). Those custom keycap group buys always seem to be $100+, which is just too ...

Re: Help identify the keyboard

Interesting. I have never seen a green stabilizer insert before. The led indicator sticker looks odd to me, but that could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Or the white balance being off. But those key caps are cool.
