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 ...

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 ...

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.

Strangely, it doesn't have any of the traits that I ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.
