deskthority

OK, so I bought the board for $10. Very heavy! It's an industrial board made by Devlin in the UK. Seems to have been used in the printing industry. I'll make sure to post some more pictures later. The white slider is down by default (no spring inside the switch). The rubber dome in the keycap basica...

I know, I know, this title doesn't make much sense. I came across an interesting board today. It has plate mounted 'switches', but none that I've ever seen before. I have various ALPS, Cherry and many Buckling Spring boards, but these are very unusual and different. The key caps have a rubber dome i...

Need.... to....... resist......
Oh, who cares. I'll have one set please.

I picked a few of these 1390131's up a while ago. Unfortunately not in original packaging, but in Model M 1393990 boxes with keyboards and cables sealed in individual bags (perhaps factory repacked and/or refurbished?). They've been sitting on a shelf somewhere for many years. I'm not sure of the ex...

How about a nice, never used, July '86 Model M 1390131?

Same here. Please update mine to the OTD Extra.

Thanks for the pictures guys. Those 1397730's are no-logo M's correct? Somehow those just don't look 'right' to me. I much prefer the look of the older 1390131's with the square logo on the right.

Love those pictures! Keep em coming!

Nice! And congrats to IanM.

Interesting you mention the desktronic. My Speccy did migrate to a desktronic first, but I ended up with a full size keyboard bolted to a case in the end. Both ends of the keyboard were wider than the case it was bolted onto. It was quite the contraption. Too bad I don't have it anymore. As far as y...

Yeah it looked somewhat familiar, although the Atari never had those white return and shift lock keys. If it's a kit it can really be anything. I once had a ZX Spectrum 48 that was transplanted in a larger case with a nice big Cherry keyboard on top. I really hated those rubber Speccy keys, so the C...

Sign me up for a Filco! Great way of getting people to sign up for this forum.

Nice. I like surprises, even yellow ones. So count me in and add it to my set, please (if at all possible).

Hmm, maybe an older Atari. 800 perhaps? It's been too long ago and I honestly don't quite remember what they looked like, but the keyboard looked similar to your kit.

Started using a Razer Deathadder and never looked back. Great mouse.

$99 is a very competitive (pre-order) price. If I didn't already own brown and blue Filco's I'd certainly be temped to buy one.

Thanks sixty! I'll touch base with unicomp (and see if they have any left after webwit's purchase).

Just looking at the pictures makes me want to get RGB keys for all my boards. I've already signed up for one Cherry MX RGB set. But what I really want is some RGB sets for my Model M's. Guess I'll have to contact unicomp for those. Are those RGB unicomps one or two-piece keys? Webwit, my fellow Dutc...

I love to type on my Topre, followed by MX browns. Buckling spring is a close 3rd.

One set for me please.
