I just want a nice looking mechanical watch that fits my tiny-tiny wrists.

Second post in thread, am curious to try typing on Shark Anus.

I have no idea what's going on, but I like it.

The way the Model M barrel plate is currently set up, you'd have to place the function key to the left of the right Shift key (that's so the M barrels can support ISO/ANSI/JIS with only a change in spring position, stabilisers, and keys ).

Sweet! The sticky right column could just mean that the key frame isn't aligned with the case - I think there's a little bit of adjustment available where it bolts on. Mine had the barrel plate shifted to the right, I needed to give it a love-tap with a rubber mallet to get the keys to stop sticking.

I should have posted sooner, but several hours after I made this post a USPS truck dropped off a Kishsaver made in week 32 of 1983.

USPS.com lied to me said my Kishsaver was 'Out for Delivery'. Postal worker didn't even get out of their vehicle.

Weird how it has a pair of genuine(?) Cherry MX whites (or are those clears?) for the Return and Space switches.

If you're not planning on reusing the PCB at all and generally don't give a fuck, it'd work.

Going along with the IBM created everything we hold dear, calling the big-ass enter the "AT" enter would work.

A temperature controlled one is a must, since most things use RoHS solders these days that need hotter temps to melt. A wide chisel tip is also needed.

Needs the NumLock function of the original. Shift+Scroll Lock and the 789UIOJKLM./-= (7894561230./-+) keys.

The stabiliser inserts and keycaps will work just fine on the AT Model F.

Hmm, the schematic in the download is missing libraries.

A resistor is not a diode.

So, Unicomp needs to come out with a modified Kishsaver, then we can be woken up.

Wake me when they revive the Model F's capacitive tech.

Sounds like something for HaaTa's miracle switch.

More likely Kailh clones would be bought in vast numbers to replace the loss of the Cherry MX.

Tin mentioned shipping more this coming Friday, the US proxy has most(?) of the Kishsavers bound for North Americans. No clue on the European proxies' status.

Lexmark took out a patent on an even lower profile buckling spring variant, but to my knowledge no prototypes were ever produced. Probably ditched the effort due to the complexity.

For reference on the AT&T. Such lovely curves.

Yep, the Model F needs no diodes achieve NKRO.

It requires a diode for each switch.

An ALPS-esque click leaf, MX Compatible Caps, and Capacitive Foam and Foil. all of my wat.

Woah, an 'Aqua', 'Lavender', 'Sky Blue', and 'Navy'.

EDIT: Oh wait, that's just an off shade Green.

Toaster ovens and hot plates are more common for reflow hacks. This is awesome (and cheaper).

I've got a soldering iron in the mail thanks to HaaTa, once that's here I'll desolder them and get some shots.

A slightly damp washcloth, cotton swabs, a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning the case. Denture tabs and a bowl of warm water for the keycaps.
