They were 'frayed because the big mean bank manager was going to grind them up along with the Kishsavers they were attached to!

That's a little harsh, what with the follow-up PM apologizing. It's not that hard to accidentally select "club members" when composing a PM, then not notice before sending it.

Agnostics are just people who seek to upgrade an outdated but apparently needed god and replace it with another ridiculous theory. Mind your over-generalizations. I don't seek to upgrade or replace anything, I just don't have a clue what's going on and don't claim to have an answer. Do you call tha...

The limit on a standard USB is 500mA Only after you ask for it! For USB 2.0, the limit is 100 mA, but you can ask for up to 500 mA and may or may not be able to get it. For example, if your keyboard is connected through an unpowered hub, it couldn't get more than 100 mA. :geek: mAh is a CAPACITY an...

Good to know that I'm hated for simply admitting that I don't have an answer.

Feature request for the spy: the ability to blacklist threads Oh great, wouldn't that create a censorship bandwagon? Perhaps another method is creating a guide for how not to feed the trolls and how to douse flame wars. I was probably unclear, but I meant a per-user setting so that I could ignore t...

Anyone fancy an XT? Here's one currently sitting at $10 plus shipping from WV. I'd bid on it myself if I didn't already have two.

Yeah, really, thanks for the reminder there, Beardsmore. I almost added Mr. Nobody to my foes list now, but I should really wait until this thread plays out first.

In principle, it doesn't matter how people chat. But if there's supposed to be a site-wide chat service, splitting that by creating a second one could reduce the value of both. If there are 20 people on one chat network, there's effectively a total of 190 connections between users. If half of those ...

If people want a change, I feel that we should have a real discussion and vote before doing something rather than just throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. Have you considered that under-utilization of the IRC channel might just be because many people feel that the forum is enough, and don...

But well, obviously this appeals to mechanical keyboard freaks. Ideally, they will play Counter-Strike on a Strafe keyboard and will show off their artisan skull keycap. Yeah, that's probably right. Not really my cup of tea either, but I don't think less of it because of a name and some science fic...

I always want to preach that Windows is extremely bad, especially now with Windows 10 and its built-in keylogger, disk encryption that gives Microsoft access to your data, and more. Such a shame that they have a near-monopoly on desktop operating systems.

If only all e-waste was of such a quality that it was worth loving! If all keyboards were well-made, at some point the world would just have enough and they could stop being manufactured.

Could we possibly get a higher-resolution version of the Deskthority logo in the header via the HTML5 <img> tag srcset attribute? Currently it looks pretty blurry at 4k resolution.

My gift arrived quite early and since people at my work are used to opening my packages... someone opened it quite early too. But I did resist really looking for quite a while! Box came with a cool stencil Whati s this, a stealthy Belkin? Ctrl key shortcuts are pretty important to me Now this is an...

Here's mine! I just couldn't wait until morning to open it. :) A pingmaster! I had been thinking of getting one of these for a while. Thanks Mike, for making the decision for me. :lol: Hope you like it! Should be easy to reprogram the layout if you dont like what I have on there. Oh, I love it so f...

I'm pretty sure you can only do one of these at a time.

It's a Greenock model M, isn't it? A lot of those have ABS spacebars, which are prone to yellowing. A treatment with Retr0bright should make it shiny and new again (for a few years, at least).

We'd have to go from the year's current average of 1 member per week to 14 members per week for that to happen.

You silly guys, buying your space invaders. Just don't shoot them and they'll come to you! :lol: I love my gray tactile RT-101+INTEL. It appeared in a trash can one day, and that was a joyous day. Perhaps I should take some pictures of it for the wiki, if only to have a citation for what kind of swi...

Those keycaps…and it still has the audacity to call itself a 1391401?

Really cool find. My guess from the mishmash of different symbols is that it's meant for some typesetting application.

Hi, I have another noob question. Is it possible to make the Soarer's converter out of Arduino? I noticed that everyone is opting for Teensy but I was offered an Arduino Due as a gift and was wondering if I can make Soarer's out of it. I recently found two XT keyboards and would like to use at leas...

I also can't discern it in the video, but is there a two part to the click (without solenoid), one when key is pressed and the spring collapses, and then another one when the leaf hits the PCB once key is released. Yes, it's two-way clicky. This is unavoidable for inversion-type springs like this (...

The spacebar of my 3101 has a PEI mark on the underside, https://deskthority.net/resources/image/26988 so it's possible they are PEI I haven't been yet brave enough to acetone test my theory.. Apparently it has way better properties than what the wikipedia page would have you believe... http://www....

Uh, do you guys check IDs? I may be a couple months too young to partake in the booze.
