Okay, I'll byte :D

It's ISO alright, just as US ANSI is ISO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_9 ... rrangement

But when every keyboard layout is ISO, none will be.

Just a potato picture, but after a long trial and error I finished the bottom row mod of my Model F AT this morning. The xwhatsit controller is already installed, idk if it works, but I hope it does. https://deskthority.net/resources/image/41180 Nice! The stabilizer layout looks interesting, are yo...

I'm leaning towards unicomp caps on this one. the AT should have one piece caps if they were original, should it not? The way I usually tell is that original APL caps have "APL" on the front face of the backspace key, which they could do to a 1U backspace I would think. Also, anyone ever seen an AP...

You have Z and Y swapped ;-). Swiss layout is QWERTZ not QWERTY. -_ and '? are also not in their original positions.

I've got an M122 with an ErEOF (front print Recrd) key and another German M122 with a Lösch Feld (front print Aufz) key in the same position. So Erase to End of Field makes a lot of sense.

From the Geekhack link, the buttons attach to where the 3 footswitches are connected internally. Looks like the left/right button pairs are mapped to one footswitch each, so you could add up to six buttons.

I feel sorry for you, i wouldn't have seen that too. I guess the only way to tell that it's a rubberdome is to google the number on it :( If it has an sdl cable you can make some money back, else I can tell you if you can reuse things, the knowledge about these rubberdome is probably limited here N...

Nothing concrete on the case yet. Though with the big left/right/top bezels, a F 4704 style case suggests itself. did get some Korean Corian clone off-cuts. The sheets are 12mm thick, which is on the thin side (4704 top and bottom halves seem to be 15mm each). Hmm. Also, I think I'll practice with a...

I only added the left-hand enter key because you called it out in your post and that made me rethink my choice. Originally I had Caps Lock in its place (because I don't need three Control keys, not because I want Caps lock). I'm fairly convinced that Enter is a better choice, can be useful when the ...

For the base set, how do you feel about a 1.5u Fn key? I can imagine using a layout with Control on Caps Lock and Fn in the bottom left ("the other laptop layout," maybe this belongs in the "Mac" set).

Another custom 62% Model M build

I posted about this on the Compact Buckling Spring thread, but thought it was rude to hijack rsbseb’s thread, so I’m starting a separate topic here. I’ve been using a Kinesis Advantage (brown MX) without thinking about keyboards for the last couple years until it had a beverage-related outage. So I ...
