the coding will be the same for any normal board as long as the hardware is correct i have seen your previous restorations so doing this will follow the same thing though you will probably need to handwire or create a new pcb

Very interesting, I have just today came back from a camping trip so therefore was not able to post yesterday however i believe i can help you somewhat with making it NKRO. I myself have an SD hall effect board though it looks like your switches are older given the 76 date code and they do not have ...

All of the pads you circled are on 2u keys or the enter key therefore i do not think they would have had any springs on them in the first case

looks very much like foam and foil i guess that was just a cheaper way to do it

you will be ok just hooking the 16 pins to the controller no need for other circuitry

Hi, I am wanting a bigfoot case for a project if anyone has transplanted the innards into an XT and has the case left then name your price + shipping to UK.

cherry solid state capacitive so foam and foil though the keycap mount and profile look to not have been documented

seems very easy to do you just need to map out the matrix, then you can probably even do an internal conversion if there is space inside for a teensy or a pro micro. QMK has support for rotary encoders so you could even use the existing ones for volume or mouse cursor etc.

it would also be worth moving the keycaps around when you spray them, looks like the ones at the edges are not getting enough UV compared to those in the middle.

The thing the customer has to understand is that retrobriting is only a temporary solution, the keycaps will yellow again over time and may yellow to more of an extent then they are currently. The keycaps may become too white known as bleaching if left in contact with the peroxide too long but other...

looks more like Honeywell microswitch then SKCC

BlindAssasin ran another round of these just a few weeks ago so there may be a spare.

The way i see it the design of the keyboard is meant to be industrial etc where the outside finish is never perfect anyway. To be honest it would add to the character of the boards and make them more industrial then if they were perfect.

Sorry what i should have said is that the top housing was designed around brown alps due to their unique tactile leaf and also for having slight larger stems compared to later alps so work best with brown alps bottom housing and the tactile leaf.

Similar to most that bought these that do not have Brown Alps which it seems are the only alps that the sliders work. I have found a way to get white alps functionality back after using these sliders. I used the bottom housing from a dampened cream, the click leaf from the white alps, 85CN springs a...

I guess another 'benefit' to the above layout would be the force adoption of ansi layout given the reduction in alpha width which would reduce ISO enter key to a 2u key similar to the XT. That number block just looks plain ugly although i do like the idea of making insert into a lock key. Personally...

i think he wants the caps for a different project, though i think they are advertising on the wrong place if they expect an empty keyboard case with no switches or key caps to sell. Shame that the keyboard did not remain intact considering this was a fully working pristine condition unit had he keyb...

pm

i believe the F AT has the BAE on it, most of which are then ansi modded so there should be some floating around unless they were binned

you could try to use acetone to join the stem back on but epoxy might join better

IBM 5140 with controller addition

I amaged to snag a Burroughs TD016 with Honeywell SD switches from ebay a few weeks back for a bargain price however the board had not been stored in the best of conditions s-l1600.jpg After removal of keycaps DSCF1429.JPG Bottom Plate DSCF1431.JPG I decided that I would restore the keyboard as best...

the only place i know that would do custom printed keycaps would be WASD though the quality is questionable from what gets reported.

So one of the sensors fell out the bottom of the switch when i had it desoldered and then i tried to insert it the wrong way round and now the hall sensor moves under the coating :( I also have switches that used the pulse sensor and i would like to replace the sensors so these switches can be used ...

are the keycaps the keytronic mount, or like the in my military keyboard i posted in the gallery?

Hi and welcome to Dt The board looks to be in good condition i see no rust in the pictures that are provided. I would start by first removing the keycaps and then use denture cleaning tabs in warm water to clean them. For the switches themselves carefully remove them from the metal armature that hol...

I would say:

• R Shift + Up = Pg Up
• R Shift + Down = Pg Down
• R Shift + Left = Home
• R Shift + Right = End

The layout is missing PgUp and PgDown keys. I use those often. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these keys just for scrolling? I think I would use my mouse in these cases. Thank you again! I will make a 2.0 version of both Layouts Certainly in most games and some other applications pg up and pg...
