Yeah what headphone said.. do that.

Agree it is a strange request considering you have naught to do with the mis-ship. Geesh destroy it for no good reason, what a request.

I have shittier boards than that which I keep around. If it works maybe give it to somebody who needs a keyboard. I recall the scene in "the toy" where a wealthy character will only wear socks once. He wonders what they use all his sock fabric for afterwards. Then Pryor's character says "maybe they ...

I stuck to roller mice way after they were gone. The early opticals had some issues for picky users, but the late model optical mice perform really well. Really really well.

Joining dissimilar material should be easy, one would think, with modern adhesives. Get your smooth half from originally mold cast IBM pieces, then put your finger interactive half from the old type writers on top.

Have thought about grafting selectric caps as a possible solution. I think by hand could work even if tedious. Today's adhesives, some of them are amazing. I don't think that would be your main issue with this method. For smoothing out rough machine made parts, maybe build them up a little bit overs...

I probably only need one of these. Maybe less. But it was a package deal and I wanted to feel the feels.

Why would you pay a shit ton of money for something then go and do this.. its beyond me. So easy to take like 5 minutes.

Well one can lead a horse to mods, but one cannot make it approve said mods. All we can do is offer, if he doesn't read the forum that would not surprise me.

Wait.. you're actually a human being?

I throw my hat in the ring to be elected part time chump too.. site owner please consider this post my official offer. I mean no promises on effort but come on, its such a simple task to remove obvious spam posts.

Its a good point about the subjectivity. If there were some standardized tests that more closely reflect real world use.. offset key press or angled key press, differing speeds of push, etc. That would help. But there aint none. I think I know how the results would play out but who really knows unti...

Can we get some of the regulars upgraded to moderator magic already? WTF is the hold up?

Wasn't there a modern reproduction made of these? I've never used one but I vaguely recall seeing a project. Ah found it, it was using cherry switches. TEX.. nevermind.

Thank you for posting this information. I do not laptop, but will try to try one some time.

Gut and JB it is.... I guess the on screen thing works too but I like seeing those shiny lock LEDs on the edge of my peripheral view. They make me happy.

What are hasekis?

Before I JB weld one of these to the top of my monitor.

Is there an off the shelf device like a usb pass thru dongle that has lock lights on it?

I'd like a mopar tkl. But at the rates they go for I'll rattle can a mini-m or 101. Prices have gotten way too stupid for even this really stupid guy.

Mechs are a fad, don't get one. There are no advantages. /opinion

But where are all the modderadors is the question? This shit is cake to clean up. Can we appoint Mu a mod..

They dirty-out (or wear-out age-out) faster than some others... I don't like mine that much, but then again I've probably never had a fresh and so clean one to really know. How many others experience is like mine? Probably many. I think its the normal alps newb experience at this point unfortunately.

Just to back up whats been posted, I daily ps2 and it does 100wpm with no lag. Post up what you find out when you find out what it is. In 2021 it would not surprise me to see the thought process behind some modern half ass mobo going like "this old port is for boot diagnostic purposes only so its ok...

Sure point and laugh at the dude trying to turn spam bot lemons into bot lemonade.. Conclusion: If you’re not here for the journey and just want to buy one keyboard, make sure it’s a damn good one. If you want that to be a Unicomp, then never under any circumstances ever allow yourself to touch a Mo...

Nice, thank you.

Nice, I might be down for 1.

Nah I'm talking to any noob normals happen to be reading through this thread. Trying to put a silver lining on a trash thread.

I'll say this for any normies reading through this thread. Buy a unicomp or AT model M for your $60 to $140 USD for a "first mech" then STOP. Don't keep going the rabbit hole. Sure that other whatever else may "feel a little bit better" or whatever but just STOP. Like MJ says. Hindsight being 20/20 ...

Springs should be inexpensive from industrial supply houses too..

I take what I said back. I busted out an old F since my last post. and been daily-ing it. It does feel lighter than the M does.

Where does one find sasol in the states?

Thread make me want to rubber dome like normie.

Start with whatever inexpensive good condition used unicomp M you can find for a deal. They are pretty good, you will like it.

Then stop. Otherwise you will end up with a dozen M's. Or keep going I guess is an option.

F's and M's don't feel different in weight to me.

If you've ever seen a stenographer working away.. its hard to argue against that.

If you've ever seen a 100 or 150 wpm typist wailing on a qwerty, it seems somehow less elegant than steno.

Agree auto correct sucks. What does "error" even mean to you though? I turn off all auto correction on my touch type devices (phones) and i just go with my typos. I do not correct them. If my text messages including all typos get my message across as intended are they even errors? The bigger error t...
