Nobody's asked yet, so I'm gonna: Chyros, I hope you kept faith to your habit and used only this keyboard for a full week prior to the review. Did you?

I want one!

PLOT TWIST: fohat is 32 years old and only collects XMIT Hall Effect round 2 boards.

Among all those sweet keyboards?
Anyways, nice collection!

Y-yeah, I kind of avoided opening that

This is the channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ruizuuuuuu/videos Is he here? Do you know the guy? He seems to have a number of interesting boards. I'm sorry if this post is a duplicate, or if otherwise this YouTube channel is well known here. I've searched among the threads, but couldn't find any...

Thanks!

Will the winning photo be added to the background images set of the homepage?

I guessed correctly, I'm in the dead center of the distribution

Jesus, you actually managed to put your hands on one of those

Nope, unfortunately. Regular quartz (quite cheap, too).

99.9% chance of a custom repainting. As others have noticed, pretty good joob (at least looking these photos). Looks pretty slick!

Bulova Aerojet 2016. Complete with scratches on the glass. Also, sorry for the potato photo.

Sure why not. I'm the exact opposite, this is as good as it gets for me with model F: https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/ibm-displaywriter-model-f-part-no-2684674-t13658.html?hilit=displaywriter I couldn't agree more. I really like the reverb of the sound (I just make sure to have a pair of good ...

We really, REALLY could use the knowledge of this guy! In terms of reparability he's right. I'm sure there were several reasons for IBM to move from capacitive to membrane, this being one of them. On the other hand I've actaully met people that truly prefer M to F for other reasons. Me too. Mainly f...

This is beautiful! Great work!

O all-knowing Oracle,
time for a noon question. What is the best products/method to clean the case of IBM stuff (plastic case of M/F and metal case of the beamers)?

That's a Honeywell probably with Micro Switch SD Series switches and real nice keycaps I was going to get it but it went too high for me. I got what I need Honeywell wise; https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/micro-switch-custom-t11720.html?hilit=micro%20switch https://deskthority.net/wiki/Micro_Sw...

Got this weird looking beast for 1€ plus shipping...

This has to be one of the funkiest keyboards I've ever seen. Is this really IBM and micro switches?

Endgame AND new daily driver :3

Great thread! Recently transitioned to an M122 a couple of months ago (and transitioning to an F122 in about a month, it's on its way). I'll answer by points. 1) Never got used even to TKL. I've always used fullsize: I tried out a TKL some time ago, for about two months. Even inputting the date on t...

Hey Andrea! This looks super sweet. Any update? I'd really want to see the end product!

Is it Model F122 season? Just got this one: https://www.ebay.it/itm/IBM-Model-F-122 ... 3261121272
Fair price, I think (even though shipping it to Europe adds quite a bit).

Another Battleship leaves the land of the free. Maybe the seller is in here?

As far as I know, and I'd be happy to be corrected on this, pretty much the only thing you can objectively assess with a keyboard switch is its longevity Well, there are some features of a keyboard or a keyswitch that are objectively good or bad. One would be the longevity, as you say. But also, fo...

Beautiful!

Well I think a small amount of people would actually be willing to pay those prices. If the quality of the keyboards and all their expectations would be met. It wouldn't have to be an exact replica to the old IBM machines, maybe a more practical design, like a tankeyless layout and a modified switc...
