Model Ms can get crushed!

[elecplus]

Sadly, this one is only good for some caps. Even the controller got broken!

crushed in a gaylord?

crushed in a gaylord?

Yes

The gaylords contain keyboards, mice, and speakers. Some of the speakers weigh over 40 pounds...

I remember this one. If you look at the board CP1 is shattered in half. The back plate is bent and the barrel plate may be cracked. Really something to see.

I can well believe it. Ms are made of plastic after all.

If you've got any broken Model Fs, I'll be sad, but then just as eager to harvest some barrels and flippers!

Not suprised, but sad. When I die, I want to go to keyboard heaven.

Not sure they take kindly to ghosts in the Netherlands.

A gaylord is really just a big cardboard box, isn't it?

Yes, it is. 48" x 40" x 40" tall. Holds about 700 pounds of keyboards.

I've seen this thread and I just wanted to ask a question, let's see If anyone can help me. I use a Model M on a OSX computer, but when the system is trying to identify the keyboard, it just doesn't work (takes ages). This is the main reason for me to have my function keys unable to use. Any help? //// Do you guys know any way of remapping keys on OSX?

PS: Elecplus, would you sell me some keycaps?

Cheers!

If Cindy can't send you keycaps Unicomp still sells individual caps.

I have use a Model M on OSX and it sounds like your issue is with the USB converter you're using. I'd try and find a blue cube or go all the way and build a teensy converter, see if that fixes the issue.

I am using a blue cube

Thank you for the info
