Steaming shit looks a bit iffy but otherwise a handsome development. Thanks.

Lol, that totally escaped me.

If you want to have at least a tiny part of the Beamspring experience, I have something for you. With the help of some folk at Reddit I found the modern remake of the font used on IBM caps (known as Leroy Lettering). If you want to use it on your modern PC here's the digitial remade version: https:/...

Things like this make me want to archive the entire DT forum. Kinda incredibly how much effort this community undergoes to preserve/rediscover all of this stuff :)

Clearly, I have exhausted people's will to answer, but anyway, here is another:

I guess somewhere between 100-200$

May someone know what this board is?

What a beauty! Don't know about the board but screams green alps to me.

I'm already signed up. Would be a blast to see some of you there

Ofc! I mean we’ll have to infiltrate them with vintage boards

I would possibly be interested in the Fujitsu Mag Reed, Pingmaster, and Kawasaki, in that order. Unfortunately my Tandy 3000 arrived in scratchy shape but FLS is intriguing as a Green Alps lover. Sure, please send me a PM. There's already someone interested in Fujitsu Mag Reed and the Pingmaster, b...

I got it Al hamdu li llah
But the keycaps are weak, maybe buy a tai hao set for it.
I also went for the at Siemens board the seller had.

I had the feeling it must have been you Well, congrats! I’m happy that there’s still someone to have a healthy competition with amongst German folks.

Who snatched that Oemmax ? 19B6093B-4FDC-49B6-ACAD-3F02ABC87130.jpeg
iam 99.9% sure it was one of you guys !

Agree - who’s the lucky bastard ? Someone bid so damn early - moments before I wanted to ask the seller if he would sell it to me right away..

Awesome, will hopefully manage to come by

New to the family, but I still think this is arguable the best model f size

Wow! Where did you find that unicorn?

That‘s part of a bigger story I‘m gonna tell one day

Anyone have an idea? Siemens or Robotran would be my guess..

For a couple of days I dreamt to get this Honeywell for a handful of €€.... Then reality woke me up abruptly. Sob Remain the consolation that such a beautiful keeb with perhaps the best switches ever conceived can't be so easily connected to a modern pc. Couldn't it? Screenshot_20220907-141902_eBay...

Bump

Really love these things so any board with blue ovals or just a bunch of loose switches would be amazing

Just hit me up with your offer!

Absolutely stunning - love that sound!

I like the caps, but they’ve got that Stackpole vibe which makes me very wary!

Was about to say the same.. those switches give me the creeps

This is an interest check/group buy post for the case I am making for Marquardt Butterfly keyboard modules (from certain Olympia typewriters). First prototype: https://i.imgur.com/UqTYq9D.jpg https://i.imgur.com/79kuZYL.jpg Case will be made from nylon and texture painted; let me know what colors y...

Now you will have to make a split keyboard out of it. Selber schuld , I would say :lol: As if I didnt have enough keyboard related "Bastel" Projects already. Ach Mensch , wo soll ich die Zeit dafür nehmen :D I share that pain :D . I can't help myself from going down rabbit holes when working on a p...

Been looking for one/both of these boards for quite some time. Layout and switches (green or yellow alps) really don’t matter to me, so if you have one of the two keyboards, just hit me up!

Cheers

https://i.imgur.com/WCIsV14.png https://i.imgur.com/shfOzs0.png Just my two cents, but maybe the sliding magnet can be moved into the stem to make space for LEDs on both sides of the switch. Having the magnet in the middle of the switch will give a more even tactile feel. The hall sensor can be pla...

I'm wary of Hall Effect because, as far as I understand, it has many of the same costs as capsense: it's inherently analogue, so it needs a whole different kind of controller. It does let you do fancy stuff like dynamically varying the actuation point, but at cost of complexity and indeed delays. K...

Does a hall ic sensor with cherry pcb compatibility exist already? Because the good part about the other design is that I wouldn't have to worry too much about manufacturing as all the complex parts are already being made in that exact same way I want them to be. I guess it would be incredibly helpf...

Thanks for the awesome feedback guys! Regarding the switch contacts: I forgot to add them in the animated video. However, I honestly haven't thought about it too much. I wanted to keep it simple which is why I went with the standard mx red contacts. Quite literally you could use the exact same ones ...

The "why": By now some of you might know that I'm a huge fan of Omron's B2H switch Chyros showed in his video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Gvj_2TZOI&t=144s). Over the last year I tried finding these switches myself - However, having contacted almost all major Omron HQ around the world multipl...

Well , good to know that they are prob Greens , since those would be "Engame" Alps for me. Welcome to the club. Love those as well - I’m desperately trying to find qwertz keycaps to finish my custom one :D Genau das isses, da hängt jemand auch viel auf Kleinanzeigen ab :D There have been worse time...

Could this be it ? My chance to get a board with green / yellow alps ? is this a: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Zenith_Z-150 ? Most likely green alps, but that’s quite a hefty price if it’s the one from that Kleinanzeigen listing ;) If you get it make sure that the seller packs it properly. Mine bro...
