New post [Group buys] Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Thanks for responding! I (re-)downloaded QMK-layout-files.zip and re-flashed the r1 firmware. So far the issue haven't manifested itself, and I was working this entire time. Hopefully I'm not jumping the gun posting this, but it seems the issue is gone now! Guess I really got lucky with the debounce

New post [Keyboards] New, Compact Model F: Thoghts and Tilting the Keyboard

New post [Workshop] The Kuritakey Brand M0116/M0118/IIgs Keyboard Rejuvenation PCBs

Note that a PCB for the M0116 or M0118 would not necessarily work for the Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard // IIGS. The latter keyboard has the switches on the top row oriented vertically whereas on the M0116/M0118 they are horizontal like on the other rows.

Hello,
@fricked Do you still have the internal controller and parasite board?
I am a 2x5322 and a future 5324 owner. I want to take down the lack of keyboards for those machines by reproducing them. The 5324 keyboard is the same as the one from the 5322, with an additional parasite board that alters

I have a almost mint condition cherry g81 for sale. I would assume nobody used it (extensively at least). I only attached a dongle and tried it out. Every key is working. Very little yellowing on the caps. I picked it up from my institute clear-out. My guess is that people just swapped it for a qwertz
