In that case you need to get an F122 or an F 107! Both worth it

I agree. But unfortunately that’s not their business model/market.

Edit: imagine a world where someone made ‘Brand New Beamspring Keyboards’

If you go the metal route, yes. Looking forward to seeing the end result!

Easiest thing to do would be to go to Keyboard layout editor, put in your layout, upload the Json file into http://builder.swillkb.com/ which will output plate and case files. Take the top case file and import it into CAD and then adjust the outer dimensions to what you need. That’ll work for the to...

Another option instead of the sheet metal option is to get it CNC milled. I drew this up in CAD and took it to Nashville CNC and they milled this for me for $25. https://youtu.be/7dtQqpjKWZA Bear in mind, even doing this, it’s still super tricky not to have at least one side/row of keys rub. Last op...

That sucks. Unfortunately making a full size case from scratch is very hard but not impossible. Trickiest thing for me is getting the cutout not to rub up against the keys. Tolerances are super tight. Check you my still in progress Xerox build for my method. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=2...

We owe a lot to him

It’s haunted.

Do you have a ps/2 port you can plug it into?

Good news is these things are a dime a dozen.

Post from Eric/Riptide666 - a fellow Smashvillian so I thought I'd share. Not sure what switches though. I'm guessing white. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Keyboard-NOS-Focus-FK-2002-BLACK-EDITION-ULTRA-RARE-fully-functional/373517685184?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20...

Doesn’t matter how bad the paint job is, you can powerdercoat it no problem

In that case, I’ll take a sharkskin keyboard to make it more hydrodynamic.

It’s stupidly difficult to resist the urge to buy this even though I already own 2

-Toshiba T3100 JP keycaps

I bought the whole computer off Japanese yahoo auction/buyee for a reasonable price. Head over there and set up an alert for yourself.

Unicomp needs to bring back black key caps

I’ve never felt this grainy feeling on the stabs. I assume they are thoroughly cleaned. It may be a good idea to just get some new ones from unicomp. I wouldn’t recommend it certainly on an M as any kind of moisture is bad for the membrane. I probably wouldn’t do it on the F either but I’m not sure....

Love these things

Satan, himself.

I heard he's an OK guy.

I too use a computer. Methinks we could be the same person

Yep. Mine are the ice ones.

Phoenix stems are clones of the Aristotle stems, but with better keycap alignment and can be purchased as loose stems or assembled with decent housings. I haven't tried box pinks, but the box whites I tried were good. It's a good time to be a clicky fan, the two best MX clone options (phoenix and b...

After building Zealiostotles my conclusion is it was a fun project but lots of hassle for what is essentially a good clicky switch when I can just go out and buy box pinks which I think are better.

So much for so little

This should be the actual header for the site.

"I internally modded this incredibly obscure 1970's terminal keyboard to play the Tetris music as I type!"

Wait, that sounds awesome. BRB...

Lol, I endorse it

I posed the question over on geekhack. Lots of interesting responses.

Then there’s the Devlin K-series

Depends how foreign. I just built this.


For someone who regularly pilots battleships, this is quite the adjustment.

Check out SA snow cap over at pimpmykeyboard

That’s a nice piece
