I still have yet to find any M's made on my birthday. If anyone has one from late January of 85, then hit me up

If that existed, it would take the record for oldest Model M

Another one for the 85 club

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Anybody know anything about this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/124784489533?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D233199%26meid%3D6be0e941d96749e99cf4ca8270512476%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D304111314143%26itm%3D124784489533%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26a...

So who's got any info about this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/265250068121?_trkparms=aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201018205123%26meid%3Dd5601403e90b48efac60ecc4ddc4ec67%26pid%3D101286%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D265250068121%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26...

Wow.

Good info. Thanks

Also underwhelmed by those plate springs

Ah interesting, so is it quite similar to the rubber dome model M?

Sounds like it's a pass then. Too bad, they look pretty neat!

I'm looking for some good Ps/2 keyboards to go with some beige boxes I've got. Most of my boards are 5 din or USB oddly enough. My current favorite is my BTC 5130. I've never tried Scorpius domes so I may give one of them a try.

Not a ton of info on these things around so was curious what people thought.

If I game, I use the Apex Pro. As others have said, good typing boards (ei, vintage boards) don't usually make for good gaming boards. Not a hard and fast rule but I don't think I've ever even attempted to game on something like a buckling spring or even an alps board. IMO, better to use the boards...

Awesome.

I would love to see an APL set. I'm only now realizing there are no SA APL sets (that I know of... ok sail and symbiosis but ya can't buy em)

An MT3 set ala The IBM 5100 would be primo.
Dare I request those delicious front legends?

Sweet. Thanks for the tip. Yeah, I was surprised when none of my Soarer's worked.

Do I need a Hasu converter for my Leading Edge DC-2014? Haven't been able to get it working with any of my regular converters :/

If it were me, I'd get several boards to try out. $200 goes a long way on ebay... well, not if you're after a Topre... What are some boards to look out for that are affordable and in abundance? I figure since I am in Japan I might as well try out some Topre boards since electronic stores are HUGE h...

Yes. This is fantastic. I have been on the lookout for one of these ever since you posted on reddit. Tres sexy!!

Yeah I think these switches can be fun projects. Chyrosran22 did a neat youtube video about them a few years ago. The switches themselves are nothing special but the stems are great for swapping into other housings such as Zealios.

How much are black M13s going for these days?

Yay! Wait wut?

No points for ergonomics

Maybe sorting out the stabilisers and swapping the caps out would take it up a notch but for now, my search for a new gaming keyboard continues. Just out of pure curiosity here, what style of Stabs are being used on this keyboard? CherryMX or Costar? Was hoping that at least the Spacer Bar would us...

Lol, I for one joyously wield the term 'keeb' and wear it as a badge knowing how much it irks the vintage vets. If you're gonna call it a keeb, you have to just accept the derision that goes with it - sort of the keyboard equivalent of saying 'moist'

Of course, but it wasn't really a matter of not respecting his wish, I didn't actually read the details as you guys probably guessed, it was more that I made a simple request and he was an ass about it.

Also, I was asking for photos so I didn’t see how a phone call was going to help

I just thought this keyboard was pretty. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124743986953?_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5053&_trkparms=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F124743986953%3F_trkparms%3Daid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170803121420%26meid%3D59367474a1e24e8f91dfb4d5d02ca39f%26pid%3...
