Im in the discord server but barely ever use it, i have too many discord servers already that i struggle to keep up with

same, thats why I dont use discord except for gaming with friends. I have enough messages in my inboxes / discord servers already that I never will read. And finding stuff on ...

just a quick heads up - iam still alive and somewhat in the hobby, its just that working full time, renovating a flat and generally trying to live a healthy "adult" life takes 99% of my aviable time. hoping to get back into it once I get a different job..... and finish my workshop in the cellar :D

Looking for ANY set for an alps ISO keyboard.
Dont care if they are scratched or yellowed.
Preferably pretty cheap

Thanks in advance

this would be so awesome if there would be ISO DE support, I still got a gutted novatouch that would be perfect for this

The case is an original PCjr but it has been significantly modified (top and bottom). The only 3D printed parts are the rear supports for the assembly, the 4P4C (RJ11/12) connector housing and supports and both of the IR LED plugs on the back.

So, if I understand correctly , the barrel´s in the ...

I love that project ! always wanted a small form factor buckling spring board.
Iam still curious about the components used.

Is the upper part just the normal PCr top shell or is it custom 3 printed ?
Also, which IBM (typewriter??) keyboard assembly did you use for the job ...

Yeah, and plug the holes. That would be a nightmare when it comes to cleaning.

yes and no. I actually mained that mouse a year ago or so.
The holes clean pretty easily.
The mouse itself is the best wired mouse I have ever used.
Light yet sturdy, modern yet with a good design.
No drivers and ...

Hey Guys, anyone know if the internals of a Chicony KB-5160 are interchangeable ?
Meaning that I would be able to swap out the mitsumi pcb with an alps pcb ? would love a 5160 with skcm blues.
I have a pretty pristine one that sadly comes with the mitsumis (even nos they are merely ok) and someone ...

2 cents more than I’ll be putting into Ellipse’s donation can.

but for real, I dont see myself paying into the fund as well.
I love DT and I would hate to see it die, especially because all of the wonderful people I met here and the treasure ...

Something like 150 of complete 7690 systems were every assembled, with parts for a few thousand more. They never saw commercial production and sale.

It uses SKCM brown for most keys and SKCL compact green for any of the smaller ones like the arrow keys, the f row and fn.

Sheeesh, and I thought ...

So it uses Alps SKCM Browns ? Never heard of the 7690, really cool !

I agree but I like it somehow ! breaks the grey / beige monotony we all grew to love

browncow wrote: 06 Feb 2024, 15:57 awesome board. What are the caps from? they look a bit typewriter/wordprocessor-ish.

yes,they are from a typewriter, probably a sharp, but I dont know which model anymore. had them laying around for ages now. Thought they might fit this board aaand well, I think they do !

I like the sneaky, contour-hugging cable. Thought it was working wirelessly for a moment there!

I actually thought about making it wireless (and filling the case with some plasticine or something similiar);
but I decided against it. Will do that once I dont depend on the board working again the ...

seperated by all my keyboards (and most of my other stuff) by 300km due to moving soon.
this is my work daily driver rn.
gifted to me during dt secret santa, modified with some nice, thick ds alps keycaps. those white alps clones really sing in that flimsy plastic chassis. I love it !

Nene, ich hatte nie mit der Telekom zu tun. Die Tastatur hat mich vor Jahren gefunden. Sollte im Müllcontainer landen, aber ich konnte nicht widerstehen. Ich hab auch noch die passende Maus dazu.

Achso :D

Sorry for being so late this year. :)
I had a pretty stressful holiday, as I moved flats. Well even better when i recieved my gift, this KPT 84 compact layout alps (clone) board.

Wash your hands, Mr. Hewes! :lol:

fair point, but once you know he was there to fix the landing gear on handley page victor, it makes more sense.


Those pale blue symbol keys are very, very cool. A mix of Runes and hidden print symbols? They're like something an AI would dream up, but I don't ...

Not really keyboards that are up for purchase, but I found these two keyboard (typewriter in one case) in a video on youtube and found them really interesting. taken out of a video about derelict aircraft from a bloke from the uk called mr hewes.
they look really interesting.

I wonder that apparently gifts are supposed to be keyboards and not more generally keyboard-related stuff.
While I will not be able to participate this time, I don't think I would have a keyboard I would want to gift, but have some other things (e.g. keycap sets or pointing devices).

I mean I ...
