I really think you should go with the original space bar

Hi Bassett, come to say incredible collection!

PM dropped.

Hello everyone, my name is steve from italy
I just got this keyboard, it is from honeywell and i suppose is an hall effect keyboard, maybe is from bo1810 terminal
have you got any idea on how to make a converter? it's got a 25 pin serial

can we see the picture of the switch just to be sure ...

Hey, stumbled onto some NOS modules:) dm me, also have a mck-84, noticing the similarities lol


Cheers, I myself just got a Victor V386PX keyboard module recently too! Without saying who, if you also get one from a certain UK seller, than mine would come from the same source.

Anyways, been ...

1. Get a vintage Alps-compatible keyboard with Windows keys (late Focus FK-2001, Omnikey-101P, 102P, or Ultra-TP, Avant Prime, Avant Stellar, Dell AT101W), which will probably come with simplified Alps or Alps clones, and transplant blue Alps and good keycaps (most, but not all, of these boards ...

Well it is worth to note that blue itself went through multiple changes as well so there are different versions of skcm blue.
There I just dig the rabbit hole deeper for ya

Thanks for the response. Colour or print is not important - could you please recommend a specific product with a link...


There are a tons of keycaps products now that would meet your need. I am absolutely not up to date with the current market so I dont feel confident that my recommendations ...

Up up

Oh you want the homing bars on f and j.

Yeah there are keycaps that would give you all kind of homing options. But color matching would be a bit tough

Should be an Ortek 101 ? Switches look like Cream Alps , but I thought the Ortek cant come with those.

They are alps clone, you dont see alps branding, and you can see four tabs on both sides.

Hi all,

Want to buy a keyboard with alps skcl yellow. Im in the uk.

This is lovely, are those caps dyesub or double shot?

When you swap PCBs in a G81 for one that used MX switches usually all you're keeping is the case and keycaps.
Later MY boards use keycaps that have built in stabilizers and won't work with MX stabilizers.

As for PCBs there are many options out there but personally I think the E80-1800 is the best ...

Hello everybody,

while I am not really "in the hobby", I do have a mechanical G80-1800 with vintage MX blacks which I like very much.

Case and keycaps have certainly seen better days, and the cable also looks about as old as it is, but I do very much like to type on it.

I can get a like-new G81 ...

I bring a modern custom to work. Just a cheap one, nothing fancy, I never spent much on modern custom anyways.

The reason being that I can part with it for 5 days a week and I dont really care that much. And it looks normal enough no one would start small talks over the keyboard.

For modern cherry mx clone switches, you have better luck browsing reddit mech market I think.

That is some juicy translation. Thank you. Now seeing that the keyboard is mechanical (very high chance that it is also skcm white or maybe better), it gives me lots of ideas. All of which involved CUSTOMMMM!!!! But i need to find a standalone keyboard module, if it survives, and is somehow, alone ...

Hello and good day to my brothers and sisters in keyboard.

I got this in the mail recently

Seeing that there is little information on the internet about this particular numpad, when I search for victor numpad or the model number BV30F03A, I decided to make this ...

I’m a bit late to this party, but here’s mine!

Had to be screw modded because the barrel plate was cracked, and there’s a regular model m controller as well because the ssk one was dead. Because the ...

You edited your first post to obliterate sold items. The result is a thread with a healthy number of comments (back on the first page, asking about a Wyse 60, gh1800, HHKB etc.), but none at all about the KPT84 you've actually got for sale. The result is a goofy hybrid of old interest and forced ...

New threads are free of charge. Use one!

And why is this confusing and misleading exactly?

I think no cherry branding because someone bought the switches and the caps off cherry and manufactured this keyboard themselves. Idk, including a plate is not really a Cherry thing.

Hi, just wanna pop by and say thank you for doing the work of God!! Sincerely, MK06 owner without a converter box.

up with new item

Hi guys, I've recently been looking into vintage keyboards in my area but it seems all of them are membrane, is it still worth it to buy one / should they be worth less then alps/mech keyboards?


if you are talking those rubber dome keyboards from the late 90s early 2000s then dont waste your ...

Wow, very cool keyboard, nice looking and nice typing keyfeel(I know that).

All the MicroSwitch SW switches I met so far are pulse type, so I'm confused if the hold type SW switches existing.

Great cleaning job.


smarter people than me have had, and told me, about the non pulse type. So I ...

Ok so let's get this out of the way first: I legit have no idea what the hell is the name for this keyboard!! The title of the post I am giving right now is the model number that I see on the back of the keyboard, and I think that would do for now.

Recently I have acquired this keyboard from the ...
