Any guesses on which is the best ???

F-AT? ... the best compromise of wrist friendly height, good switches and reasonable layout

That was a nice read Thank you.

I also might need to get one of those IC-Clips, that's a cool idea to avoid modifying PCBs.

This is back. (Symbolics 365407.)

Looks like the exact same photos to me. You'd think somebody would have bothered to clean it by now.

For 3K I would ask for current pictures of the keyboard ... these are from an auction more than 3 years ago.

How about some stone age material more fitting to the vintage of this keyboard? https://i.imgur.com/Engiv9f.png That first one even looks micro switch-y. Do you know if that's the case? Although the four toggle switches are a bit of a wildcard. Not my photo but this keyboard module comes from a TI ...

It is ... what everybody calls me in real live

Slom is an abridged version of my last name. My first name is so common that there are always two or three of us in every meeting; using Slom (or the diminutive Slomi) avoids constantly asking "which one".

"Ctrl + click" club checking in. Now who's with me? Guys???

String* + left click for me

* yes, thats the German word for thong, and yes thats what Strg on German keyboards stands for. Trust me!

When the side note takes over the show

Should have posted this picture:

I like the first layout more
I'm not sure about the xerox branding on the black stripe.
And wooden sides sounds really interesting, keep posting your progress.

That blue

I have not seen this before ...

So at least some of the SW keyboards have NKRO?

http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttga ... e_1972.pdf

Has anyone ever seen this contact mechanism in the wild?

here are some keyboard related

2kro!!!111!!!! And you thought IBM invented the SSK? I was actually looking for one where 2kro was not invented yet and interlock was the great new feature ... can't find it right now

Another ad photo. And I thought my desk space was sparse. This is from one of the brochures on bitsavers . Ouch, I get neck pain just from seeing that setup ;( Mine ist not better though, were does she put her knees? Also, where are all the men in these promotional materials? https://www.youtube.co...

you have chosen the wrong category for this. It'd better the ugliest keyboard one.

ugly and interesting are not disjoint

Had that Maltron on my watch list for a week now but I'd only buy it to resell so hopefully whoever bought it gets some good use out of it!

No idea about SW.

For SD the really good ones are 3 pin and logic scan.

But I think all have been converted in one form or another by now.

Private to private business is not for you, but thankfully a simple question about bank transfer is normally enough to weed out people like you ;) YES, we are the ones that you lot can never scam in anyway, which proves why everyone needs protection from those that run away from any scrutiny in the...

For that rusted piece of poop, even 50 euros is a bit too high.... It's an authentic Beam Spring, hence at any price it's worth it. Would use it as a wall hanging once it's cleaned up and mounted properly. Very cherished art piece, worth far more to me than any Pollock or Hofmann. I have paid 80€ f...
