Re: My Compaq MX-11800 is now ruined with a USB conexion and runing QMK.
Any leads on how to do this and how to connect the trackball? From what I understand the trackball is a standalone PS/2 device, so you can wire it seperately to a convertor, I think. I have a replacement 11800/11900 PCB from Taobao and it has a connector to convert the trackpad of the 11900. A 1180...

Hall effect model M? Foam and foil conversion?
Forgive me, I just woke up from a stupidly long nap a couple minutes ago and had an epiphany. Who said the hall effect should only be used for smooth linears. The sensors work in game controller shoulder buttons and probably anything else. What's a plentiful keyboard with great feel that lacks NKRO?...

I love that you actually made new PCBs for totally forgotten boards like the 3M Whisperwriter and the GEAC 8340 but no one ever made new PCBs for fullsize Alps boards like the SGI Granite. There are only like 15 GEACs out there. It's great.

Re: Icon keycap used for IBM Model M
Custom keycaps for a CNC machine or some other piece of industrial equipment. I love the colors.
Unicomp could make something similar, but I'm not sure if they consistently do from printing. I think they do but I'm not sure.

Re: Cherry G80-1800HCF
Yeah, the smaller sticker might have been more economical for a low volume custom order. I guess it wouldn't be the first time Cherry tried to save money or reduce manufacturing cost in a strange way (I have boards with plates designed to mount stabs but used hat/stepped keys instead).

Re: Cherry G80-1800HCF
Cherry actually sold 1800s with a label that small? That's bizarre, that's the size of the stickers they put on keyboard assemblies. It's almost like they expected OEMs or companies to put their own sticker there.

You could 3D print a plastic barrel plates. That'd be the easiest way to get a curve.

Easiest way would be a flat P...
