I dunno if this is C64 related but this topic reminds me of this project

Looking at Reddit is basically cheating. That site just seems to draw in people with horrendously bad taste. I found this in under a minute of scrolling through/r/mechanicalkeyboards https://i.redd.it/0b0f97ek0nq01.jpg I will never, ever understand novelty/artisan caps that let you see the stem, I ...

All switches can be taken apart ... but not all can be put back together again.

that's true for a lot of things in life if you have a chainsaw

Does loobing (he he) make them better?

yes but if you do lube them you have to be very careful to not put too much, I fucked up my switches by over lubing them the first time I tried

Damn chinese community is on fire...

You should get one of these and build it inside a 11800 with vintage Cherry MX blues!

as long as not over half of them lost their click

https://i.imgur.com/KbIlNuk.jpg Someone found an IBM portable that was left outside at a hamfest and he's trying to restore it, since the motherboard looks OK. But he said he won't have time to restore the keyboard (rusty springs, and the keys stay down when pressed) and that he can give it to me f...

Model M? 1391405 manufactured united kingdom copyright IBM 1985 print 13b build 53b 1168592f 528771 Is it worth for 40€? https://cdn.wallapop.com/shnm-portlet/images?pictureId=487148953&pictureSize=W640 you could probably make the money back by flipping that old hardware and get to keep the keyboard!

Any thoughts about these? https://www.candykeys.com/product/gmk-olivia/?mc_cid=97a62b721f&mc_eid=fb98888557 Text mods and the rose gold accents are kinda ugly (and no white space bar included in the base kit), but if you like the colors you'll recieve a relatively cheap base kit which has a good la...

boys noize is pretty good and this includes a pretty interesting video using stop motion and keycaps of over 600 keyboards

Omg where did you find a wildcats model M?

i found one of those Kentucky wildcats model ms, is this the second we know of?

and got a m0110, these feel surprisingly good! the angle is kinda hell

I'm not sure about Deskthority, but I've definitely met Geekhack and Reddit users a few years ago. The community has changed a lot since then so I'm not even sure if a lot of those people are still around though. I went to the one in Kentucky back in 2015 (https://www.meetup.com/LVL1Hackerspace/eve...

I personally haven't but considering how widespread meetups are, it is very likely for a lot of people here

there's so many people I'd meet just to touch their keyboards

Today I packed the first Brand New Model F production parts for shipment! F107 and F122 foam are going out tomorrow. If you want F107 or F122 foam please order soon. I have only 4 left of the F122/F107 foam and that will be it for early shipping (the rest will ship later this year). Yes enrique it ...

I'd argue that the realforce is worth about 150, they seem really well built and have some of the best tactiles (imo) however on the other hand is the hhkb which I don't think is worth the retail price of 220 dollars for how weak it feels in comparison. but this is of course just my opinion many peo...

I fuckin love this song


even though I can't even understand it

I've been using a ducky secret for about 4 months and its perfect for my hand size, i like the surface tuning options it has too. it has already started shining despite being pbt, but i guess thats since your hand is on the mouse for longer than touching keys. i agree with you on the branding, that ...

yeah that too

Are there any other good ones?

Retooled blacks are OK with a small bit of lube but not many pre-built boards have retooled yet, vintage blacks are very, very common to find and a lot better than modern non retooled blacks

Nixies

only nixies if you have way too much money to spend on a top housing

I know, but I heard of an MX to BS adapter that exists. Don't go on a wild goose chase! If you need a keycap for a Model M keyboard, get a keycap for a Model M keyboard. You've got three main options (besides scouring eBay) for this: Ask Cindy ( https://www.elecshopper.com/keycaps.html ), visit Cli...

I know, but I heard of an MX to BS adapter that exists. an adapter like this would only really work on caps that are uni-profile like dsa or sa r3 due to the curved plate nature of model ms and how model ms do profiling, and i dont see why you would want to replace the default model m caps, profile...
