Actually, that in itself is a stylistic thing, that is IIRC due to Japanese handling of Latin scripts.
You'll notice that they all-caps joint ventures with companies that are definitely not all caps in their home countries, too.

I've personally been trying to use initial capitals, capitals for proper nouns, but otherwise lowercase, simply because it's a pain to link to [[Every Word Capitalized|every word capitalized]] article names inline with text. Which actually means I should switch Infobox company and Infobox Company ar...

Going through the needed articles, I'm beginning to see a style issue that will bite us in the ass if we don't fix it soon. Alps vs. ALPS. My vote on that one is, use what the company calls themselves, which is Alps , not ALPS. If a few of us agree on that, I'll go ahead and move articles that do no...

Speaking of categorizing, can Template:Infobox Unternehmen be deleted?
Nothing uses it, and Template:Infobox Company (which was identical before I started editing stuff) is used instead.

Keyswitch test rig from Marquette University
Looking something up, I stumbled on this article: http://www.eng.mu.edu/nagurka/NagurkaMarklinLiu_Design%20of%20Test%20Rig%20%20for%20measurement.pdf Looks like it's quite capable - I'd actually like to see the results of sticking a plate spring or Peerless under it - I think it would show the sprin...

Well, that was fun, shoving templates into the wiki, and adding a bunch of redirects in places.
If you see an incomplete article, or you start one, tag it with {{stub}}, please. That way, it gets tossed into Category:Stubs, which can be brought to people's attention more easily.

I find that the cheap Logitech and Microsoft mice are decent, although I prefer detents on a scroll wheel, which leaves Logitech usually. My favorite, though, and often cheap if you find the right search term, is the IBM/Lenovo ScrollPoint Optical 800 dpi. Unfortunately, there's only Windows drivers...

I wonder how Beam Spring switches feel. But I feel like I could not afford them at all. They are only available in IBM Selectrics, right? I would love one of them, even though I wouldn't have any use for it. Edit: Not IBM Selectric, I meant the IBM Displaywriter. What switches do the Selectric use ...

I just saw bhtooefr just moved a bunch of his reviews. Another old-timer GHer is making the (wise) switch. Honestly, I've just gotten sick of the cults of personality and pissing matches all over Geekhack. Quite a lot of old info is still there, so it's a decent reference, and there are some intere...

I never connected it either, but Sandy's site has the pinout: http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/ibm_p7x_en.html I find it hard to describe the behavior, because it isn't mushy, but at the same time it is. I guess you could say... it's like you took Cherry blues, and instead of mounting them on a PC...

I'm well aware that this is an older review, originally posted 2011-03-07, but I'm migrating all of my reviews to Deskthority. So, it's here. Time to review it. As I don't currently have a way of connecting it to a machine, I'm not going to review it in operation until that time. Pics will come lat...

This keyboard uses the Fujitsu Peerless technology... essentially, spring over cup over rubber dome. I believe the cup allows the spring ...

I'm well aware that this is an older review, originally posted 2010-05-07, but I'm migrating all of my reviews to Deskthority. Pictures coming later. So, this keyboard is ridiculously heavy.

So, the good thing is, Unicomp's architectures are very modular. No need to complain about ANSI vs. ISO - the way the Model M-derived designs work, the tooling makes one design that is only defined as ANSI or ISO by where the hammers/springs and the inserts are placed. So, you'll get both designs. I...

Sounds like a quite interesting switch - a while back, I said that my ideal switch had the weight of a Cherry blue, but the force curve, smoothness, and general behavior of buckling spring. Of course, that's before I got a Model F... but I'd definitely still like to try this switch. Edit: Also, how ...

Necroposting here, with my first post, but I've got some questions about this switch. How does the sharpness of tactility compare to both conventional Model Ms, and Model Fs? How variable is the tactile point? I know Alps said in their patent that they could use this to allow wider tolerances on spr...
