ULTIMATE BOARD CONTENDER ALERT: IBM Pingmaster. This may be it ! But the eBay seller only has 30 left, and shipping alone is $80! I'm now kicking myself that I MISSED Webwit's Pingmaster for a very good price. But at the time I didn't have the money. :( :( https://webwit.nl/input/ibm_japan/pingmaste...

What a delusional attention whore. He's very sad even for a troll, otherwise he would know that reductio ad Hitlerum is literally the worst possible argument to make :lol: According to whose criteria, yours? Don't flatter yourself, you aren't that authoritative, what a delusional whore. :lol: https...

oh crap, i thought this was the 'decent domes' thread!

It's decent? shiiieet I may have to get one from cindy!

This is officially a cat thread, move over, Mr. Nobody

We all got Mr. Nobody'd!

BTW was about to post that exact GIF!

I don't check the DT chat anymore (and no disrespect) but I bet my bottom Yuan that you are not showing the entirety of this conversation and hiding the reasom they got upset.. Check it for yourself then [...] ;) Okay buddy So, it started with people happened to mention that you were back on Deskth...

Oh my LORD, DONT! Emojis? In MY keyboard forum? No. Old school all the way

I thought it would be a good idea for all of us on a budget to have a thread where we can collect all the decent rubber dome/slider over dome boards in one place, so that we know what's up when we see one of these at a flea market or eBay, where they can't mark it up because it's not 'VINTAGE CLICKY...

I want to use this CRT for as long as possible so I must keep the brightness low.

Decided to try a different kind of setup today.

Let's hope for the best! Hunt is still on then.

Fascinating and VERY old school!

Another candidate would be this HP, however, I don't know if it can be converted/handwired.

Windows XP

God bless

Bumptity bump

lol called it, m0110a was gone, and i found a 1800 on an other site where I cannot make an account because they don't accept my email provider.
I mean, why WOULD I be able to get something right?

Jokes aside, hunt is still on for the Ultimate board.

3 years late, oh well, better late than never!

Deskthority is a place where you discuss keyboards and other input devices, mostly old-school. Come and have a look and post your own stuff!

@green-squid: Could you give us some additional guidance on the keyboard features you are seeking? I think my list was pretty compelling, but the only flaw is that I'm at the mercy of eBay sellers specifically in the EU who don't know others are selling it for outrageous prices. And all of these bo...

Squid, you certainly have selected some unique keyboards. I wish I had your skills of shopping around for cool stuff (but alas, I'm just a plebeian impulse buyer who snatches up things that cross my path; as you'd say :cry: ). I would agree with Hypersphere about the 5140 keyboard. It would make a ...

How about replacement PCBs (new PCBs for old keyboards), or custom PCBs? Learn to use KiCad, and make for example a split keyboard PCB for NMB Space Invader switches ... Then upload the files to some cheap store (China or local) - i.e. order the actual PCBs, and profit! :) Plenty of Internet resour...

Search under the stones as much as you can, Hungary can't be empty of Camaro-tier keyboards. What about scrap typewriters? For example two Sharp ZX-400's to make an Alps SKFF keyboard. Think about it, typewriters are everywhere. You can get from them: -Several types of Alps switches, -Marquart line...
