Came across an ASCII keyboard without any identification. The keyboard matrix is made in Japan. The X and Enter are a lighter color, that seems original. The encoder is a KR2376 on a separate PCB below. There is also some sort of conversion PROM after the encoder chip, with 7 bit input and 8 bits o...

switching to an nginx + fastcgi setup would greatly reduce the hardware resources needed guess that was simply my internet being a real nuisance then when the server went down :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I couldn't have possibly imagine what the issue could be... I sure hope switching t...

I'll take 200, thank you!

Hate to break the news to you, but $7 for NOS SKCM Green is super low nowadays. Even for used switches SKCM Greens are around $12-15 per.

There is a Novatouch for sale on ebay, tempting! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325765121204 Poor price But to join in, yes, I also have a Novatouch. It's mostly stock -- it's got a dome swap from a 45g 108u just to make sure I have 45g domes on it (it really didn't change much -- guess the heavier fee...

This one rings a bell. I could reprise and tell you Someone should pay a princely sum for it because I like this comely beast. Then Photekq could come on, for a well deserved round of applause, to correct me in a delightful sotto voce. :D Edit: looks like I misremembered. This one is worth a bit. Y...

Ooooof... yoinked. RIP

It's the end of an era. I wish you Godspeed in passing the server down to the "right" person.

This aged like fine milk.

Should 5576 keyboards be included in this thread? If so, I'll share pictures of my 5576-002.

Maybe later down the line... it took quite a long time for me to compile this list tbh, and I'm having less time than I used to. I think there's a list somewhere as well.

Reserved.

So... there is this list: ╔═════════════╦══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╦═════════════╦═══════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Part Number ║ Part Name ║ Price (JPY) ║ Notes ║ ╠═════════════╬══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╬═════...

The caps are quite nice, yeah -- although it may be a little difficult to find keycaps with colorways matching it exactly, in case if you're thinking of using the caps on something else. why should i match them ? cant i just use them on a normal alps board, if the sizes of the shift , enter , space...

These switches are Alps SKFL switches, by the way.

Edit: SKFL, not SKFM. Whoops.

Gold!

Oooh, a Zhuyin AEKII! Great find! Very cool

Cubic profile?

What a stunner! Absolutely paralyzed seeing these pictures. Incredible.

Nice! They seem intact, if not cleaned.

Bump, IBM 3278 added.

I have got to have one of these!! I will save it for when my child is old enough to clean it for me when she gets grounded. I just dug around in my prison wallet… really dug for it. I can do 5.56 now. You didn’t clean the keyboard so I’m not gonna clean the coins, but 5.56 is 5.56. Sure as shit can...

Well, it's an auction... but when does it end?

Blue Alps; Leading Edge DC-3014. Great chassis for the switch, albeit it's probably one of the most sought after models out there and they fetch for quite a bit.

F122 sold!

Not many boards can top how cool this board is! Congrats!

Bump, IBM F122 added.

I have been admiring the model m for a few years from afar, but just recently obtained my first boards....And what boards they are! I rescued them from a massive bin of old electronics destined for the dump. Quite a few are missing keycaps, but most of their unique printings are still there! I am i...

Reviews are subjective by their very nature. Thus, there is no need for a disclaimer. Yes, but it is an authoritative review, and people do look at these judgments with a sense of objectivity. They look at it and see "This guy has a big following, and it doesn't seem controversial, so many people m...
