Hello, Dick! I hope you are well. Would you happen to know more about the origins of the AT&T buckling springs that hold certain similarities to the Model M design? They have been observed to have some striking resemblances to your design but are thought to be an AT&T product. http://clickykeyboard....

This thread is unbelievable. I wouldn't want randos trying to find out whether or not someone in my family is dead. That is incredibly disrespectful. It shouldn't be any different for soarer's family. Leave him alone, leave his software alone, look towards the future: bright prospects ahead for conv...

Hello there! I recently got myself a fun piece from Japan, a Nippon Electric (NEC) PC-8801, but not the kind you're used to. I don't know of any official name of this keyboard right now, so I am dubbing it the Extended PC-8801. https://i.imgur.com/QLrUjde.jpg Some notable differences between this ve...

This is interesting; all of my main computers are PS/2 capable but I do have a few that aren't and I don't know if my next computer will be as nice. Would like to see a finished product!

Let me go through my stuff, I have a few omnikeys I need to offload. Not prime condition ones anymore but some are still pretty good.

Alright just let me know what you got of you have anything to offer!

Honestly, we've reached an age where a basic yet decent computer in a similar form factor to the Commodore 64 is once again viable.

what kind of omnikey are you looking for?

I kinda messed up the last reply (forgot to quote, and looks like editing didn't work, oops). But I am looking mainly for a 102 or Ultra, mainly because I want to keep a standard nav cluster. I will consider any model though!

Bumping this because I also now want a Northgate OmniKey... I got my NEC PC-8801 keycaps in the mail and I want to pair them with something special.

PM, that Wang catches my eye...

...please don't hurt me.

Maybe check with this guy to see if it has been sold yet.

He actually sold on here IIRC.

PM!

See title, also looking for random genuine Alps switches if you happen to have any (got a few rebuilds coming up).

I'd post my old Matias, which last I used it, typed like "ttthhhhiiissssss". But that never came back, it got chucked when every single key had chatter, and the companies response via email was basically "mechanical keyboards aren't for reliability" which I still have in my inbox because of the abs...

I have bought from andj00 once before, and that was my first time ever performing a transaction using a forum classifieds post. It was for a replacement DIN cable. Even though I was new to the community, even I could recognize that his asking price of $20 shipped was far too high, as I was hoping fo...

So I found something on Yahoo! Auctions that I would like to get. See my post in the keyboard identification thread to learn more. The problem here is that due to coronavirus, Japan Post has stopped all higher-priority shipments to the US and are only offering seamail as an alternative. Courier serv...

Anyone know what this funky thing is? It looks like its PS/2 compatible but there's nothing besides that. The label is useless besides bearing the numbers 18555. https://auctions.c.yimg.jp/images.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/image/dr000/auc0108/users/5e6721116dd09c20438c64fb0b097fcc333134b0/i-img640x480-159...

Are those the NEC hiragana ABS doubleshots? They look great!

When I was searching eBay for an ALPS board to call my own, I came across these guys and I thought they looked amazing. Imagine one of these with nicer ALPS switches in them!

Just my name in romaji. Although on tons of other internet boards its been taken so I have like 300000 other aliases
