Hopefully better than another keyboard-related forum that was recently-ish acquired

well, those "XP days" aren't over - USB rubber ducky and bash bunny are still pretty much a thing.

I’m coming up on 16k days, myself. ;)
Control doesn't live down there, though. It's left of A, instead of the EMERGENCY EJECT latch of unpressable disaster.

You sure? Okay. Just a sec.

This rings a distant bell. It may be only IBM's own keyboards (and their stock controllers) actually did this. I remember encountering it at one point while writing my multi-keyboard Soarer configuration . Haven't used a Model M with a stock controller in quite a while, though. Maybe one to try out

bump - added new stuff

Today at the junk shop I found two things I was in need of: a set of ~3.5kg dumb-bells and a complete-looking-in-box RollerMouse Free2. While it looks like it had limited use before being boxed back up and discarded, I want to clean it off from the shop of who-knows-who sneezing and coughing on it.

Please check again! I ran into some issues with eBay, but everything is back up. Thanks!

I just don't like how it feels. I like my rounded switches on the heavier side and I find Blue Alps too light for me.

i listen to many kinds of music but sometimes i even feel like listening to some hiphop: :lol:

Well, if by "nicer" you mean "thicker" - then sure, backlight isn't an option. Also it's kinda stupid for backlighted keys to have black legends. And if "nice" means "thicc" - then those notebook keys are merde de la merde :)

I have one keyboard I remapped with xmodmap, using with a simple USB adapter. I have a second board I took apart and cleaned; I'm still waiting for the barrels and flippers. Last night I took the third (and last) keyboard apart.
The foam was completely disintegrated, and the remains were solidly stuck

Like these ?
More common in hardware stores are spacers without any threading though.
There are also "rivet nuts"/"rivnuts"/"T-nuts" that are threaded, with a hat.
I have also seen acrylic-sandwich keyboards with just hexnuts or capnuts.
Beware that bolts only come in certain lengths, so you'd have

I understand what you mean but this would not work for me because of several reasons: OpenSCAD outputs triangular meshes only, it is not usable for me. The CadQuery looks better because it supports STEP but I cannot switch to anything at this point because I have invested well over a thousand of hours

IIRC that will have jelco switches: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Jelco_JKS-91

I can't really remember sorry, but i think it was around £25 for the uv lamp, and the box i used had been lying around for like a decade - the price label on it says £12.99 though. tinfoil expense considered, I'd say maybe budget £40-50

CY8CKIT-059 has enough GPIOs. It's not QMK-compatible, but I'm pretty happy with CommonSense (which is made to be capacitive controller, but works with electrical contacts. Doesn't have anti-ghosting, but just don't press to many keys at once :)

I unfortunately don't have an XT converter yet despite owning several XT-class boards. I will try to get my hands on one and will let you know what happens once I manage to procure one. Thanks for the help!
