Received this " Ericsson Type 1050-005 US " today. https://i.imgur.com/EkYpWkE.jpg Can't really find any info about it online, but it has the same Ericsson RMD 973 series -switches as Ericsson Type 1121 that is on deskthority Wiki (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Ericsson_1121) https://i.imgur.com/wPKL...

Made in 1986 silver badge M122 for 49.99$ is decent price.

The first ISO Model F went out last week - this one had the 1U+1.75U split right shift, which is built in to all ANSI and ISO F62/F77 keyboards.

So I will have to get Model M horizontal stabiliser and regular right shift key, if I want standard right shift for my ISO F77?

Do you mean these purple switches? https://www.razer.com/razer-optical-switch They have roughly same tactility as MX blue, but are smoother feeling and much nicer to type with. Sound is unfortunately also very clicky MX like. Not quite the MX blue level ' ear rape without any lubrication ', but stil...

Still not gonna unlearn AltGr + 2 = @, AltGr +E = my currency, or any other AltGr combo from my muscle memory, simply because Unicomp is obsessed placing Right Windows key [ for me the second least used key after Scroll lock ) where AltGr should be. Nor am I gonna spend the roughly two billion Euros...

Good point clickclack. Everyone please let me know what you think about the 1.5U Backspace key color (pearl or pebble). I think we should switch to Pebble for that key going forward. TerminalJunkie there are already some descriptions of "diy keycap dye sublimation" out there. As noted a while back,...

Looks good, even if the stabilized caps seem to be sitting pretty high. The height difference in that picture is mostly camera angle thingy. They sit maybe 0,5 mm or so higher. Can't really see or feel the difference while I'm writing this. How was the fit of the switches in that plate? SMK switche...

My first ever handwired keyboard. XD84 plate & case with NOS SMK 2nd gen. clikies from Aliexpress (MX keycap stem variant) and FI/SWE keycaps from Kbdfans. https://i.imgur.com/MQlPjx2.jpg My only big noob mistake was to get a plate that did not support plate mounting the stabilisers. This lead to me...

Fortune Systems 32:16 XP and its capacitive spring leaf keyboard on sale in Finland (currently 79€+ shipping)

Out of curiosity, will you be keeping track of production numbers including options, and if so, are there any plans to release those numbers? Ellipse posted these numbers in June. The factory is up to 800 keyboards assembled. We just reached 1700 keyboards ordered! Order breakdown: F77 907 F62 412 ...

Congrats to Ellipse for reaching shipping stage.

I have external Model F AT converter with female DIN5 connector. It had exactly same symptons (all lights on, no output) when it had wires accidentally touching each other. This was caused by that female connector's plastic cover being toot tight and squeezing the wires together inside it. I solved ...

You could also figure out the keyboard matrix with multimeter, make firmware for the matrix and then hook it up to a Teensy++ 2.0 (or any similar controller with enough I/O for full keyboard sized matrix) .

Received today two sets of Krepublic's new blank PBT Alps keycaps. https://i.imgur.com/1Neei4z.jpg They are the fullest option sets with both ISO and ANSI support and plenty of '3U space bar and split shift' type of options for small children and mentally ill adults. https://i.imgur.com/vUYpKOU.jpg ...

Just wanted to point out that the switches in these:

"SHARP MZ-1K04, Unknown oval alps switch, German layout caps "

are Alps SKFL.

Aliexpress.
Cost was around 70€.

Are you aware of the new Alps set that KPrepublic released this month?
It is blanks only, but has modern ISO option.

100x Blue alps
200x Clicky SMK 2nd gen

A.K.A something to do with my fastly approaching summer holiday.





EDIT: and yes, indeed, I have no life or anything better to do with with the holiday.

Male 5 pin DIN connectors are easy to find on-line: For example from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20190719125000&SearchText=5+pin+din+male&switch_new_app=y And you could just solder that male connector directly onto the pins on the PCB. Or get two of thos...

[quo Would you mind to share here your soarer's remap file? Thanks Its real messy. :( First time I did Soarer's remap file and I kind of just kept adding stuff to it.

AT has been my daily driver for the past three months, or since I finished the conversion. Hard to see anything else taking its place. In fact my interest in the hobby has gone down since I got it. Seems kinda pointless to get anymore keyboards after it. https://i.imgur.com/xCFLjqk.jpg Just bit scar...

Interesting figures.

Nordic per capita over representation, as always and on everything.
Despite danes slacking seriously.
Swedish-finnish as most popular non-english option is rather insane.

That IBM Alps ISO board makes me want to empty by bank account, slaughter all of the credit I have, buy the board and not eat anything for few months.

Food is overrated anyway.

AEKII My father was journalist pre-retirement. This meant that he had one those rare jobs that both got computers relatively early and was also very Apple focused [puiblishing was super heavy into Macs even back then]. I remember trying/using various Apple keyboards that his work computers had. Sin...

Toshiba T3100e and a challenger Toshiba T-series computers were successful line of early ’mobile’ computers. They were kind of between ‘luggable computers’ and modern laptops. You could hold them on your lap, sort of. Not comfortably though. My first proper serious girlfriend at university had one ...

In March, I was on a crosswalk on my way to work. Car hit me. This did not – technically- end my way to work, due to me being employed by the hospital that ambulance took me. It did however leave me with lot of free time, while my body recovered from that exchange with a car. Two months plus some we...

Keyboard from Toshiba T3100 with 'Alps common mount low profile/SKFM' on the left and keyboard from Toshiba T3200 with Alps SKFL on the right. Currently in the process of converting these. They use some kind of ancient FCC cable with a pitch that no one seems to make anymore. Finally managed to find...
