Have you ever tried other converters? TMK? I think very possible it's cause this board is bit special and got compatible problem with what you're using..

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

From the pics I sent earlier it appears it has a metal backplate, so if that is true I agree that the build quality should be quite decent as you mention. Yep, its indeed with metal back plate, the entire board is pretty heavy. I like it except the long "L" shape enter key, but it's not that bad ei...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Greetings everyone– I came across this rather curious board, which – lacking much of any identifiable information (either on the front or back) – has proven to be a bit of a (perhaps short-lived) mystery. All I can discern is that the logo (if that is indeed what it is) appears to be three slightly...

You even lubed the 2645 ITW magnetic valve switches? how about the keyfeel after? I think it should be good enough for the long travel switches before that but curious about the result also.

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Visually it looks a lot like HP's line up from around that time but there were a handful of switches in use. Care to pull a cap? Ofc if that help. Cherry m7/8 I believe, have seen it in otherr HP' 80s boards so not much surprised about this part. Thanks. 08C32462-0560-415E-BEE7-585F1E748668.jpeg

No idea for the first three, the last one should be Zbrojovka Brno 262.9 keyboard with Hall Effect switches made by Tesla, AT protocol iirc, smooth linear keyfeel. Intend to believe its the most valuable one of all. The last one seen on ebay should be $200?
