New post [Gallery] Post your keyboard/keycaps!

Current work setup. Have the keyboard setup to for Quick Books here at work.
Has anyone ever seen these black eyes. Found two sets on ebay that were taken off Model M keyboards used in the late 80's on a
point of sale terminal. I bought all the keys to recreate the layout which I will do at a later

New post [Group buys] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Hey there, old member here who's about to order an F122. Wild question here for Ellipse: ISO enter possible with ANSI lay-out? That's what my current (modded) F122 has, and it's kinda addicting. Hardly a bother if it's impossible, just wondering.

New post [Keyboards] if there is a converter that allows me to use a usb keyboard with an IBM terminal

I want to know if there is a converter that allows me to use a usb keyboard with an IBM terminal that usually takes a set 3 keyboard. I was wondering if a soarers converter connected in reverse would work, but I am not sure that the translation is bidirectional.

New post [Keyboards] Help Identifying key caps

About 30ish years ago a friend of my dad gave me about 10 boxes of random ITT key caps and space bars.
I recently came across them. I took them to World Of Commodore in Toronto last Dec because there are some keyboard nerds (I say that in the most complimentary way) I know that I thought cold help

New post [Keyboards] IBM 3604 Model 2 Keyboard Display (Beamspring) restauration

Wow, thank you for all of the great photos and documentation!
This a truly incredible find. It's definitely one of the best I've seen among IBM / Beamspring enjoyers in the last 10 years. The only other known examples I can think of are this one at the Computer History Museum and another garbage-dump

New post [Keyboards] Green fluid on the connector (Model F)

My F-XT has the black version of those. Stick on covers, with the original caps underneath. Mine has a plain IBM badge, no "Personal Computer". No model number unfortunately, but it speaks normal PC/XT. .

New post [Workshop] IBM 3486 terminal USB\SSH conversion (exactly what you think)

Greetings, my fellow comrades!
Also I would like to apologize for my English level - it is not much in use nowadays in my environment.
May the Omnissiah bless you with cognition and clear mind.
Once I was looking for some old artifact of the Dark Age of Technology - the model m keyboard.

New post [Keyboards] how rare is the northgate omnimac?

Not an OmniMac, but here's a photo just posted that shows the difference between the two Mac colors, "Fog" and "Platinum".

The OmniMacs came in these two colors, to match the computers they were used with. (I have one of each)

New post [Keyboards] Looking for Attack Shark X68HE Firmware Dump (Stuck in Boot Mode)

Hey everyone,
I have an Attack Shark X68HE keyboard that’s stuck in bootloader mode. On my Windows PC, it shows up as “USB Keyboard Boot” but doesn’t type or respond. From what I’ve read, this likely means the firmware got wiped or corrupted.

I can’t find any official firmware online,
