Ah thanks, good to know. I'll leave them attached.

I opened up a Model M (1390120) last night in preparation for a bolt mod, and found that the membranes are quite firmly stuck to each other and to the back plate. It's almost like they were glued together, and I don't know if I could separate them from the back plate without damaging them. I don't t...

I'd be interested in the badge if nobody wants the whole thing.

One of the common styles of Apple II clone, sold under many names or none.

Ah thanks, that makes sense. I was guessing Apple from the front legends, but couldn't find a model that matched.

Ah thanks hasu. You're right, it does look like the Alt/Opt modifier is being applied. I will check the keycap. The interesting thing is that if I leave the adapter plugged into the computer and disconnect/reconnect the keyboard, the issue persists - whereas if I disconnect the adapter from the comp...

Hey guys, I'm using a Model M 1391401 connected to an iMac with a Sanoxy blue cube PS2 to USB adapter. It mostly works well, but once or twice a day it gets itself into a state where it seems to transmit the wrong key codes. For example, I'll type "0123456789" and get something like "¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº" ins...
