Do you think you'll ever sell a case top without LED window? I want prt sc, scroll lock and pause!

Hiya, I'm looking for some Olivetti keyboards. I'm looking for KBD 2811 or KBD 2812 variants with Cherry dyesubs. I'm open to most layouts. Here are a few that I want but there are many others that I may have missed : UK ISO - Cherry G81-3011SBG - if you have the one pictured below with the missing ...

I was tempted to laugh about Cherry F and J keys with a deep cylindrical well being "not entirely uncommon", but then I remembered how little I know about other keyboard brands and decided to laugh at myself instead. I’ll nevertheless dare to correct photekq, who is the ultimate Cherry Picker after...

This feature is present at least on the Commodore PC5/PC10 keyboard's caps, see here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:G80_0530_ger_web.jpg I had one of these for quite some time before I noticed the F/J profiles were different. But to be fair, it didn't use board too much. Anyway, I remember spot...

A week shipped to UK from JP, including JP domestic shipping time? What shipping service did you choose, and how about the cost? :shock: DHL Express. It arrived 2 days after it shipped. The cost was very reasonable, only $10-20 more than EMS. I would have got it much sooner, but their repackaging s...

Hi, I've loved these keyboards for many years now, but I always shied away from trying to find them (at least, through a public listing) because of the prices associated with the Docutech/6085, and because I resigned myself to failure when it comes to the Star. I was lucky enough to get my hands on ...

Since I won't get around to documenting it until I've restored it, I thought I'd just quickly mention: as I expected, it has Hirose MX. Oranges on the alpha cluster, browns (yes, Hirose browns) on the two spacebars and the enter. Most unexpectedly, the three other clusters all have a previously und...

Btw, its my second time to find keyboard with Fuji&Xerox logo there, last time its about 1.5ys ago, sold at a very low price if I remember correctly, but I'm focusing on IBM at that time so I didn't think its big deal and missed it. I know how stupid im now. Looking forward to your sharing thread h...

Im shocked by the end deal price also, God damn it. I won it. The main reason I bid so high is that I've always loved the Xerox Star keyboard with Hiroses, ever since kps first posted it here in 2014. I've never seen one show up for sale in all those years so when this jp version showed up I didn't...

They are bulky and near impossible to use comfortably as a main driver. I don't know why you're running on the assumption that people buy them explicitly for use. They're historical objects of particular significance and notoriety (not just stemming from Chyros). In terms of mechanics, they also be...

For the sake of transparency and to save our community members from overpaying for the keyboards: You will see keyboards from this lot pop up on various selling sites (ebay etc.) - this is my doing. I ask anyone of you interested in these boards for a more reasonable price to be patient and only bi...

Aren't they regular Cherry MX Clears? Used MX Clears? The clears in these Skidata boards are nice. Rather, they can be nice, depending on what elements they were exposed to. The nicest batch of Skidata clears I had were very close to vintage clears. I even put them in my 360c; they were that nice. ...

Is now a good time to mention that Kishsaver you sold me for $100 a few years ago is worth so much more now that someone offered me $2500? Didn’t you have like 20+ of them? Did this read as rude to you when you were writing it? Cos it comes off awful fuckin rude to me :lol: Poor tinnie. P.S Would y...

Yes let's put in a disclaimer in my review that my opinion may suck, said no one ever. * * DISCLAIMER. This opinion may suck, handle with care. Nobody's opinion sucks; I never claimed that. Everyone's opinion is just that - their opinion. The problem is, a lot of people like to latch onto a prevail...

But the ones with the biggest mouths, like Myoth, are just drama queens, and I'm not really into that. Nah, Myoth just really, really, really likes keyboards; he feels strongly about them, all the way down to the minutia. Truthfully, I've never run into anyone who gives more of a toss about keyboar...

HAHAHAHAHAHAA! Dumbass! I'm ignorant but you persist in being a dumbass.

Looking forward to your future posts here, brother. You're fun to watch

I mean... the fact that you like shitty music doesn't change the fact that the music is... shitty. Objectively speaking. There's a reason why the entire French rap didn't get as many awards as Beatles, for example :) I'm all for inclusion, and Alps was a great platform, offering a wide variety of t...

Hahaha I didn't read any of that, but it's always funny to see how much my videos upset you :lol: . I don't think he's that upset mate, it's just his manner of speech. I think he's just a bit irked at the way you present your opinions on MX. You don't like MX switches yourself, so the impression is...

Determine its maximum value

If only it could be done as easily as it's said.

Matteo and Photekq 3D scanned a set of mine (since sold on…) for what became MT3, so there is in fact imagery out there to start from. This was a few years back and I can't remember how many keys I loaned them. Think they were understandably less interested in the stepped mods etc. given their proj...

Hi, I'm looking for ISO Cherry G80-5000s! I'm open to all layouts and most conditions, but I would slightly prefer layouts with an English nav cluster and LED sticker. For example Portuguese, UK, etc. I'm also on the lookout for one specific ANSI 5000 too : a mint/new winkey model (e.g HPMUS, HAMUS)...

Damn! And to think I just missed this beautiful NIB mother of a Siemens terminal keyboard... :cry: :cry: :cry: So unlucky. That's such a beauty. I don't suppose there were any pictures of the label? I hope it turns up somewhere so we can at least identify it :cry: Probably had nixie switches Please...

Welcome Oliver. I share other people's concerns in regards to your low post count, generic username and recent registration, but I trust heavily in webwit's judgment. Would it be possible for some kind of forum backup to be made available? Thread data and images, perhaps in the form of a torrent. We...

You're right, some of them there were sold for £150, so will change my price to that. Those that were sold for less than £100 is absurd, for this quality speakers. Do as you feel mate. But I feel like you're being a bit of a dickhead. If you're trying to milk it for everything, you should go and do...

Price is a bit of a pisstake. Well, quite a lot of a pisstake actually. These regularly sell for a lot cheaper on eBay.

Really sad to hear about this webwit, but gosh. Thanks for keeping the responsibility for as long as you have, and for not passing the site over to just anyone.

On the plus side, really happy to see you're alive and well sixty and Mu! I hope everything's bless with both of you.

It's nice to see your name again Ascaii, I hope you're doing well! The Nixdorf blacks I got from you all those years ago are still being used :mrgreen: I'm nowhere near local to you (if it weren't for COVID I'd get on the first train over there), so I'm not in the best position to help. But I can't ...
