As I gather from what he said, he suffered a truly catastrophic loss in his family. He’s shell shocked. Having been through something similar myself, you get forced to reset just to heal yourself. It’s hard, hard stuff. Sure, I get it. It's just keyboards - just stuff - in the end, there are other ...

Ah, lot_lizard. I reached out to him repeatedly to attempt to buy back all the inventory I sold him so that I could further the project. Radio silence - and this is after he accepted a LinkedIn connection request.

Kind of wish I'd tried harder to acquire the forum from Webwit. Money wasn't the issue per se - either I have it, or I could have raised it. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to give the forum the time and attention it deserves.

Anyway, if the forum goes up for sale again, please ping me.

As mentioned above, we're going to put together a plan for increased moderation and the reduction of spam posts.

How about you take ten minutes right now to look through some of the forums and delete obvious spam?

Ok… They responded and said they will be formulating an action plan and moving on it immediately. Fingers crossed! I just want to be able to enjoy keyboards with y’all. I mean, that's what I would say to someone to get them to stop bothering me so I could go back to doing nothing. I have children, ...

Maybe you need to say the name three times to get a response.

...maybe that will work.

I can't help but think that this forum was an impulse buy for him.

Hoping they make a way to permanently disable all the RGB sickness underneath the keys, that has to stop when it arrives at my Desk.

I guess you could always pull the LED controllers from the PCB if you really don't want backlighting of any kind.

Two concerns. 1. The included key caps look like double shot SA profile. SA is a far cry from the sphericals that originally shipped on these boards. MT3 is a better approximation. 2. What metal alloy are you choosing for the beam springs? IBM chose something special back in the day. I haven't seen ...

You sent me a PM about this. My sales are still on hold while I figure out a long term e-commerce solution, get a better handle on my inventory, and solve some problems related to shipping. All that aside, I mostly have Terminal M innards, you would still need a controller and cable. clickykeyboards...

I played with this board for about two minutes and was underwhelmed by the build quality. That is why I'm still waiting for your latest Hall Effect keyboard, that shall be purchased and well worth acquiring, so that this time it will be used, under my bear paws. Anything with XMIT connected to it, ...

I don't have to imagine too hard, old frenemy. I am in the same situation! Need to work on selling a bunch of things. 'Tis easier to acquire than to sell.

I got one a while ago, thanks though.

$3300 for a Model M? Absolutely not.

The RGB is basically an R2 with slightly different sliders.

My R2 review: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23130

Hello! I wanted to let everyone know that the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. :lol: XMIT Keyboards is going to take a break for a little while. There are a few reasons for this: - lost some help. MrsXMIT was between day jobs and able to help more for a couple of months. Sadly, that time ...

I also received my parcel!!! Shipping took every bit of two months - thanks, global shipping crisis. But Ascaii was a stand-up gentleman and I never had any doubts I would, in fact, eventually see my keyboards.

Sales are suspended as I don't currently have the bandwidth to get keyboards out the door. I will update when sales are no longer suspended.

That looks a lot prettier than my vacation, which consists of doing non-keyboard things at home for a little while. Apologies to anyone waiting on a PM from me, it will be a few days longer.

Just wait a few weeks for Shallot to finish their QMK and Via/Vial converters. Will be even easier to configure than Soarer's, as well as be open-source, actually maintained, and the creater has not (and hopefully will not) ghost the project. I'm still waiting for Round 7, my Spherical Buckling Spr...

If we've devolved to ad hominem attacks and name calling, it means that we've run out of real arguments. The prior few posts are squarely in the bottom two tiers of Graham's hierarchy of disagreement. 1200px-The_Debate_Pyramid_v2_Detailed_TT_Norms_Medium_Text_Outlined.svg.png If something terrible d...

esr, as I said in PM, it's so nice to see you here on Deskthority. I've followed your Jargon file for many years now. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/ This reminds me of Arakula's thread from December 2014. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9322 . I want to say that there were intentions f...

Ah! Expertise sighted off the starboard bow! I'll write to you in private about the reverse engineer and his Soarer project. I've pinged him. Relevant fact: Soarer has been disappeared for 7 years. In Great Britain where he was domiciled (and in the U.S. which inherited British common law) that is ...

I have... a LOT of M122s. I'll send you a PM.

Did you talk about dye sublimation and the single key profile? Both of these were cost saving measures. No mention of that yet. I don't think it's very important for this video to get into details of cost-saving tactics except as they directly affect keyfeel. Cost reduction is an important theme in...

Muirium I'm working on a fairly long, technical deep dive on the Model M's matrix so I am familiar. A few kind folks have reviewed it and provided some excellent feedback so far. I don't want to waste anyone's time until I've incorporated their revisions. But, for the Model M, it suffices to say tha...

I will have more to say later. Apologies for the few, rambling thoughts. HaaTa has force curves on plot.ly/~haata that show many (possibly all?) of the keyboards you describe. It took me ages to wrap my head around how a buckling spring board works so an animation would be super helpful. Did you tal...

.doc :evil: Please use one of the many open file formats. PDF, text file, .odf, or just pasting inline with a "spoiler" tag come to mind. It's plain text. I gave it a .doc extension only to pacify the uploader - it wouldn't take .adoc or .txt. Indeed it is. This is a forum bug, we should fix this.

Please use one of the many open file formats. PDF, text file, .odf, or just pasting inline with a "spoiler" tag come to mind.

Take note of the mold numbers along the way, did they change?

Your "types" will map to production line differences at the factory.

It looks like wcass caught the same interference points I did.
I still have a few F122s to sell with cracked cases. I'll be modding them with new top cases from donor boards.

The remaining boards are selling slowly due to cracked top cases.

I have managed to repair these boards using an M122 donor top case. See viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25813 for details.
