Re: Hello gents - its been a while...

Heyo, this forum is for all intents and purposes dead. The site has been sold a couple times, each to worse and worse owners. The site is now super broken with no hopes of fixing. I am not sure where everyone went, but there is a decently active community now on Discord. You can likely search for it.

Re: [WTS/WTT] Alpsaver ALPS AKB-3320

DT is so buggy I can't even send a message to you. Would it be possible for me to get more images of this keyboard, mainly on the inside? I'd love to document the PCB code of the board and the sticker label as well. Please reach out to me via discord @mcmaxmcmc.

Re: Alps 12KC384B

Heyo, I assume, since your WTS post currently doesn't say anything, that you have sold off this keyboard? If not, I'm interested!

Unfortunately I didn't get it, but hopefully the buyer will enjoy the keyboard as much as this board deserves it :)

Re: Slightly unusual 3278 beamspring

Usually there is a date label on the cable of these boards, does your board still have it? Aside from that, I myself don't know if there are any other ways to identify your board. I'd like some more pictures of the board, though!

Honestly, you may be in a one-hand-count of people who currently owns one of these, congratulations! I'd personally like more pictures of the system if possible. Looks great!!

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread


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 ...

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.

Re: Toshiba T3200 Alps Keyboard

These switches are Alps SKFL switches, by the way.

Edit: SKFL, not SKFM. Whoops.
