yep.

So I’ve acquired a db25 to db9 connector and was trying to connect 5v and gnd from the PC side PS/2 cable. But no luck.. Did you ever get this board up and running, Jesseg? :) Nope, managed to find a whole bunch of KMD3 units which I was able to use with this and other dealing keyboards, although I...

[…] desolder the switches […]

go away

These are super awesome boards. Does yours work through a converter?
What do you think of the switches?

I recently bought an RT101+ on eBay for a good price, but the tab, 1, q, a, and z keys don't actuate reliably. Sometimes they don't sometimes they do (especially if I mash them), and sometimes they chatter. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know very little about circuit diagrams but if someone h...

Want to try: 3278, I am definitely reliable and can be trusted to send it back and definitely will NOT steal it....................

Yesterday I found this Smith Corona DX 3600 typewriter at a Goodwill, although unlike most of the ones that I find that come with Mitsumi KKR switches, this one had the infamously bad leaf spring switches. SC_DX3600.png SC_leafspring.png Strangely, it doesn't have any of the traits that I remember ...

Obviously Chyros makes really good videos on this stuff, but is there anyone else like him? It seems like all the other Youtubers who focus on keyboards are just some oddball hipster with awful takes.

Try VWestlife

Great job! Keen to see the terminal in action

if I'm not mistaken, he found this keyboard in the form of a chassis, from which another person harvested switches and keycaps, so in fact, he got a result much more authentic than what he originally found Fair enough: he just confirmed it. But the OP doesn't say who took out the originals, so our ...

I bought this without switches, and even if I didn’t I can, and will do as I please. I am a huge advocate for the preservation of old keyboards and I cringe when I see them painted and chopped.. but not sure if swapping switches counts as ‘destroying’ anything either.. + mx whites suck ass anyway IMO.

Thought I'd share my recently completed Irmakey. Don't know a whole lot about these.. made by Cherry USA for DCA in the early to mid 80s and are a 2.7kg tank. the case is seems to be the exact same design as the early G80-2100s Originally came with the early MX White switches and dye-sub keycaps. Th...

I wish people would do this after they learnt how to join plastics properly

Do prices include shipping? If not, estimated cost of shipping one keyboard to the UK? Thanks.

It depends on the board, If you want more info contact me on Discord and I will be more than happy to arrange something

Really want to give one for a spin. I currently have a beamspring of my own, but its in non working condition, with not even a single switch working properly. I realize it's a huge risk to ship a stranger a keyboard worth this much, but if anyone is willing to take the plunge then I can assure the ...

Many excellent keyboards, choice choices really! GLWS!

I am sad to see them go

Fantastic keyboards, hope they go to a good home, by the way when you mention your M122 with an F-122 case do you mean an M-122 with the F-122 style feet or just an M-122 with a literal model F-122 case on it? It is an early M122 with model F feet, but I replaced the case with an F122 case as I put...

Some really nice boards and good prices, glws, if shipping to me was worth it I'd certainly grab some stuff.

Thanks! If you combined enough it might be

Ctrl+C/V/X
I also do lots of 3D work, one of the commands I regularly use is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C which requires finger gymnastics

If you're going to do a controller swap, use pin headers and IC sockets so it's reversible, really cool to see a full system, would be a shame if it never ran together again.

Typing demo pls xo

old thread, but what a monstrosity of a project
