Hello,

Very nice indeed!

How did you make your black badge and did you start out with white keycaps prior to dyeing blue, or were they pebble?

The process of making the black badge, I started with A4 aluminum sheets which is pre-treated for sublimation printing. I use sublimation printer and heat ...

Does it have the extra thick backplate ?

Unfortunately this one doesn't come with the shiny rainbow backplate.

Hello!

I'm a newbie and I just have my first M122 converted and remap. My problem is that everytime my Windows restart, I will need to remap my keyboard again. I thought the remap stick with the keyboard perminately? Are there some step I missing, how do I fix this. Thank you.

Replacement black badges are a very difficult proposition. Silver badges are difficult as well (and expensive), BUT... fellow DT member Quartz64 had a bunch of reproduction badges made. We should page him, to ask him whether he still has one to spare (or whether more can be made).

Thank you so ...

Good day,

I felt really lucky to get a hold on one of the industrial M from a local recycling center here in Thailand. The thing is that it has a missing awesome black badge :( Can I find a replacement for it? What options do I have. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

I want to join in for M122!!

This is basically a modified IBM Model M Terminal in which mixed with Chicony KB5181's frame as the surround frame around the IBM. All the material use are very low cost, he told that the cost of making this work is only around $21USD, but the amount of time he actually spend on the keyboard to make ...

I have always wondering whats the difference between the two and what is with the hype with blue SKCM. I just got a chance to grab an Acer KB101-AS great condition for $25USD. Now I got the keyboard to tear down the switch to compare with White SKCM switch. Here is the result

Thanks guy, I think the GB could be very possible as now I'm sorting out how much I can get the original Model M case on my hand, since I use the original model M as the structure for the carbon fiber overlay. Also the F122 and M122 or SSK would be very possible, only if, I can get a hold to the ...

I could open a group buy if anyone interested. I have manage to get 10 IBM model M case now

Looks great!

What effect does the carbon fiber case have on the sound?

The keyboard sounds is only slightly effected by the wrap of the carbon fiber and rasin coated. The case itself is more solid however it doesn't absorb much noise from the chassis of the metal plate. It still sound like ...
