A silenced+lubed HHKB is a close runner-up for me though.

It's Alps integrated dome.

I'm with j's suggestions. Generic USB models from alibaba etc. will probably be the fastest, easiest and cheapest option. Look for "anti-ghosting keyboard", since NKRO seems to be used less commonly there. They usually list how many keys anti-ghosting they support. The Keytronic route is a good one ...

A lot of old Cherry keyboards could do the trick. Many of them aren't sought after: especially the mushy feeling Cherry MY family, used in G81s. You might have some luck sourcing those on the cheap. Maybe one of our Cherry aficionados can tell you what to look for to score NKRO. Not a viable option...

Oops, forgot to post one

Isn't $45 a bit much for a raw PCB with no MCU?

Congrats! It's still my favourite 3000 series casing all these years later. You've been looking for one of these for a while, right?

Nice work! What's the story with that modern looking Blue Alps board? I touched on it a little in the description of the video, but I'll touch on it a bit more here :mrgreen: It might look modern, but it's pretty old. The keyboard itself is a Koala, designed by a Korean member from otd.kr & kbdmani...

I've been having fun making some typing tests lately, so I thought I'd share them here. I can't promise a regular upload schedule or anything, but subscribe if you like what you'll see :mrgreen: Next up will be an F107 typing test, with internal foam removed - the pingiest keyboard I've ever heard. ...

Lovely! I'll look forward to seeing a full set when you get that tooling, but this has satisfied my appetite for now. Would you be open to doing entirely different profiles, if someone supplied you with the 3D models? A custom Cherry profile set would be incredible, and I do happen to have the file...

Amazing work. Do you have any full sets with the dual sublegends you could show us some photos of?

According to that wiki, it uses Cherry MY and has no hotswap. There are a bunch of custom PCBs you can get for the G80/G81-3000 series keyboards. They fit right in with no modifications; the MY and MX versions of the casings are identical and both can house these PCBs. If you want hotswap you'd hav...

Yeah, winkeyless MY boards are fully MX compatible, all stabilised keys included.

The only ones which can have some incompatible modifiers are winkey layout G81s, and also certain Olivetti G81s which have caps made by another manufacturer.

Incredible stuff man, and a great write up

Bloody hell. It might only be a rubber dome, but it's an awfully beautiful one! Congrats on getting one, especially with all that sentimental value :mrgreen: Do you have a link to the eBay listing? I had a look and couldn't find it. Even if they only had the one available, I'd like to keep my eyes p...

Photekq man where do you find this stuff. So nice.

Anywhere and everywhere!

Thanks for the kind words boys!

What a find mate! I think this might be my favourite out of all the FREEZE variants

It's been a long time since I posted an album of photos here. I've got lots of new things (including a few undiscovered things) that I'd love to share, but these days I always struggle to find the time to get my DSLR out. And Deskthority doesn't deserve shitty phone pics! :mrgreen: Anyway, I got thi...

A lasered set would also do - after all, it’s not for my own keyboard

Oops, missed that! When I see 'Hellgrau' I default to doubleshot. That'll be a lot easier

Who's the keyboard for this time?

Ah wow, a hellgrau doubleshot winkey bottom row is gonna be a challenge.. There are so few models like that, and they're all super rare

I'll keep an eye out for you though! Best of luck mate

You should show everyone what it looked like when you got it! You did an amazing job on the restoration.

And agreed with Wodan, it's really nice to see one of these with the Cherry caps in UK layout. Great find!

Trawling through the imgur archives

Your boards will never cease to make me drool The NCR and Xerox especially..

Anyone know how much a G81-3000 SPG would be worth. I think it's in good condition, some discolouring around the edges of the some of the keycaps. IMG_20211128_110830.jpg Great find. These are the best UK caps out there. That said, UK layout is potentially the least popular layout for Cherry dyesub...

I have one of these that I would sell. However it is not in the best condition. It is yellowed slightly and a couple keys have damage (cosmetic). Let me get back with you later with some pictures.

Hero

I've asked a few people I know who used to have them, to see if they still have them. And if none of them do, I'll try my best to keep my eyes peeled for you in case any show up. These keyboards do show up on their lonesome, but not all too often. Pretty much every other Cherry-made NCR keyboard is ...

how are you going to replace those missing keys after you pay that absurd price?

I have an incomplete ANSI one with different keys missing. So, I can use them to complete each other One at a time, of course

cos it's the 2nd uk dyesub olivetti that's ever shown up; the rarity of that specific combination can't be understated. and i'd been searching for many years. that said, i wasn't expecting it to end so high - 250ish was my honest guess when it first showed up. competition was far more serious than i...

Hello, I am looking for some info on this keyboard made by Elektronska industrija a.d. Niš, Yugoslavia. What was it used for and how much is it worth? Thank you.
