Greeting, I had the fortune of picking a NIB G80-3234, complete with box and manual. I would like to share it with you guys. For the full album, please use this link The unboxing DSC01796.jpg DSC01798.jpg DSC01802.jpg DSC01804.jpg DSC01806.jpg DSC01808.jpg DSC01809.jpg DSC01855.jpg

I understand I am a divisive "person". Folks question the financial straights that prompted me to sell GH. (believe me, those are real...bankruptcy is, probably, around the corner) Anyways. I am simply here to ask the question... Should I abandon the "iMav" persona? I can abandon all accounts and s...

funny timing. I just fixed my UK78 yesterday, switching from stupid BAE back to ISO. I even used the small ISO from Tektronix set to test the gap. I can say my Saver twins are finally done done after all these times tweaking around. Good luck with your project. https://i.imgur.com/AyTs6kc.jpg?1 http...

There are and there arent. There are 3 types of alps plate springs but they are mostly just the usual inconsistency of Alps Electric. They function exactly the same from one to another. So you have: 1. 2-pins Plate mount APS 2. 6-pins Square pcb-mount APS, sometimes the top housings are black, somet...

I was bored so here we go, please see attached Omni03.JPG The gaps where I marked with color pens are spaced evenly if they are of the same colors. I took some liberty and decided that the slash should be evenly spaced as well. Capture.JPG The corners are sharped and I'm not sure if they should be r...

I'm doing the keyboard pcb guide in kicad and ran into an issue. Wondering if anyone out there might be able to help me. I noticed once I put all the components on the pcb that I mixed up Gnd/Vcc in my schematic. I fixed the error in the schematic but I'm not sure how to make the change propagate o...

Just drill the pcb


And more drillings

That adds like 10 cool points. Is it AT protocol? I haven't gotten mine to work yet.

Yea it's AT, you will be disappointed when you convert the thing, very lazy engineering. Also the pcb has to curve hence it's so thin.

That is a very healthy cable, mine was too short so I had to splice it to add some length.

exceptionally good job. When I saw your post on GH I immediately bookmarked it. I'm been intrested in using a halfplate for one of my builds. Do you think not using leds will make the alignment much harder? And do you know what ptfe powder you were using? I'm always looking for a new lube to try. D...

Fantastic writeup and build guide. Makes me want to try and do a half plate alps build. Using the LEDs to stabilize the switches is a good idea. Thank you Incredible effort! Posting any video soon? I'm so curios of the differences you mention... maybe you could try explaining in a short video? Than...

Build Log I replace the leeku's pcb with The Leaf pcb, big thanks to Shadohhh and Mike for putting up with my shenanigans, kept building then desoldering then trading pcb's. The Leaf pcb and the Time pcb are virtually the same, except the Leaf pcb has the extra slot for Alps stepped capslock, so I ...

Force Curve In order to make sure I am not crazy I compared the internals of all 3 switches: SKCL green, Box Black, and Vintage Black. Side by side, you could see the evolution of springs' diameters. Initially I thought this might be the reason for boring linear in SKCL switches in general. https:/...

16_Case_bR.jpg 17_Case aR.jpg This is the duplicate post from GH, hopefully it can inspire somebody else. Back Story: Back in late 2016 I bought a B-stock TX84 from kin with the intention of making my first Alps TKL. The first iteration had SKCM undampened creams in a Steel plate. And it was very d...

Great news indeed, now that we have the keycaps after 4 years, I cant wait to get my keyboard in 2027.


Also dont forget to buy now, early bird ends by the 28th of this month

Organic products.

Expensive, inconsistent, and low in supply.

@Delirious: Did you use holtites on your recent build? If so, did you solder them into the PCB, or was it solderless all the way? Any problems getting desoldered Alps switches into the holtites? I plan on using hottiles for the bottom row mods only so I can swap between 10u and 7u with ease. This i...

LFK87 in Tex Filco Case. Shoutout to: -u/ca178858 of LFKeyboards for the pcb -gainsborough for the 10u spacebar from Packard Bell board. -mike for proxying the SGI caps and sandblasting them for me, and the NEXT logo -E3E for the hotswappable hottiles (soon) https://i.imgur.com/w4YIfG2.jpg https://i...

I really like the aesthetic of ISO enter but it's always awkward for me to embrace the ISO life. My pinky finger reaches the very left edge of ANSI enter when I type, by shifting over a column I think I can finally enjoy ISO

Cool idea, I suggest keeping the bracket keys cluster together. On the home row, swap the positions of ] and ' keys. Just like the ibm multi station.

The unit I bought doesn't include the power unit. I am looking for a power unit right now and will update the thread

Not at all, they are the lighter version of Alps Plate Springs, almost linear with the tiny click sound.

Hey guys, so I bought a Datavue Spark hoping that I would get some rare skcm alps. It happens to have cyan omrom.

The spacebar is abs while the rest are thick pbt with interesting colorway: white mods, milky alphas, and gray f-row
