Joli clavier ;) HiTek Stackpoles are usually disliked from what I seem to read, but this is a nice collection piece. I saw some french so I had to do some digging to figure out what these were used for. I had a lot of trouble finding "TIJ", but it seems to have been renamed to Proxes France since th...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324635241849?hash=item4b95c4ad79:g:To8AAOSw~LNgpxc5 any ideas? Zenith Z150. Someone else has realized it's a Zeeeenith Zeee150, as well. I put in several bids and it's now over $100. asking because I've never been able to answering this question, why would you bid so early ...

You made it clear, but you didn't provide any ressources for us to fill in the blanks. What carrier do you want to get the keyboards shipped out with ? DHL ? Hermes ? UPS ? like I said, if you say "calculate your own shipping, I will be using DHL", it's much easier than to end up with 30 shipments ...

this legit?

yes, it is.
no, it's not capacitive buckling springs.

I would hate to pass on such an opportunity. If anyone is considering it, would you be okay with splitting a bunch to lighten the financial burden ?

what the fuck.

shock aside, these are NMB Space Invaders, no clue on the variety of them but they sure are worth saving.

How much does he want for the 5000 (are you sure he didn't put a few too many zeroes??) keyboards?

This goes for several other DT members as well. Truth be told, I stopped caring about DT a long time ago. I never really read it anymore because it's all drama. Arh, I don't think that's entirely fair. I learn a lot from people here, and most of them seem genuinely helpful. Don't you think that's i...

Hahaha I didn't read any of that, but it's always funny to see how much my videos upset you :lol: . That's such a sad sight, not only can you not make good content, you also can't take any form of criticism. Hope you enjoy creating, interacting and more than anything enabling an ignorant audience (...

Ok, it's 25-years old shitty music. Sorry! And stick to MX style of switches, don't tell me now that Silo or Hall Effect is MX platform just because vendors pitied your keycaps "investments" and thought of throwing you a bone. Click Leaves?? As in Alps-invented ones or which ones you mean? HAHAHAHA...

I mean... the fact that you like shitty music doesn't change the fact that the music is... shitty. Objectively speaking. There's a reason why the entire French rap didn't get as many awards as Beatles, for example :) If they won a lot of awards it's because a lot of people love them, not because th...

So when modern people review vintage stuff is silly but the other way around is not ? I don't get it man I didn't say that. I said that I would not expect those channels to nail a vintage keyboard video in the way that I feel Chyros often does, just as I wouldn't expect Chyros to nail a modern keyb...

Have you read his comments ? Yes. I meant the comment section but w/e, my bad they are filled with people that praise him on the basis of his videos, which misrepresent a lot of the stuff he mentions. This is their problem more than his, as far as I'm concerned. One cannot be held responsible for t...

Forgive me but Chyros openly refers to himself as a curmugeonly old dinosaur in his videos and consistently lays his biases on the table, in my opinion. That's more than enough for me. I wouldn't take any one review as gospel, regardless, and to claim that any reviewer has a "responsibility" to pre...

for anyone still in doubt, please check out this video by someone more into the modern aspect of the community, you will wonder if they are reviewing the same keyboard.

good god, that is by far the worst video you've made, I usually don't like them for a few different reasons but this one takes the cake. @ 9:12 ... now to me making your keyboard a fraction bouncier sounds like one of the most pointless things anyone ever came up with. Seriously guys, if plate bounc...

the site gives you the 19.05mm grid

I want to specify that this is by default, you can tweak it for it to give you a smaller or bigger grid.

- The cutout in a plate, for an MX type switch is a 14mm square, with stabilized keys and cutouts that allow you to open the switch without having to de-solder it (for non-hotswap boards) being the exception. that is simply not true, the 14mm cutout does not allow you to open the switch without hav...

Based on what I've heard throughout the vintage keyboard enthusiast community, this is a difficult question to answer as the answer in question varies a lot based on certain factors, which, as I might add, are pretty much completely random, but I encourage more knowledgable people than myself to tr...

First off, I really want to stress that I don't want to be rude or condescending. Now, there's a bunch of redundant or wrong info you give, so I'll give my feedback on your informations. - The cutout in a plate, for an MX type switch is a 14mm square, with stabilized keys and cutouts that allow you ...

1. I did not expect a small label on the back of this keyboard, I'm starting to think the small labels are related to production size

I'm still think it's typical for 1800 B date code

Spoiler:

oh huh, I was sure I had seen big label early 1800s

Like I mentioned yesterday , here are some more pictures of this G80-1800HCF. Featuring, the switches we've all come to appreciate, the layout we've all come to love and ... of course, the layout YOU have all come to hate :mrgreen: Two things to note is that : I did not expect a small label on the b...

had some fun while waiting for the keycaps of this new acquisition to dry, more to follow

it's an old Cherry G80 [...] it has no Cherry markings on it. don't think it's quite Cherry then, is it ? you're definitely right; it's got a mounting plate – steel even. No way a genuine Cherry MX board would have build quality as good as that :p Haha , I get you , Cherry could never use a plate ....

from what I understand it shouldn't be too hard since it's serial (?) Well, I think to convert I just have to add somehow an U to the S erial B us. :lol: Fair enough haha but what exactly ? I don't think it would be as easy to just wire correctly a RS232 to USB "converter", surely there should be s...

amazing prices, GLWS !!

ah, you got yourself a fine G80-0801, nice ! I'm not sure about USB conversion actually, for what it's worth sixty attempted to convert it to USB, no idea what came out of that
