Me when the wiki goes down instead of the forums

Hi basset

God I hope this website doesnt die.... what a treasure trove of information...
A website can always be recreated (escpecially with gpt4 coming) but the information at stake here :?


AI? That's a bit cringe ngl. I'd trust a website written by that shit as much as I trust it's supposed raccoon ...

By far the ugliest board I've seen,but I do love that the owner uses it,the notches on the keys for the Numpad layer are a very nice touch.


I think this one is super unique and kinda charming. Looks like a pirate-keyboard. The case on the other hand ...

According to the wiki article and to one of Chyros’ videos there are/were still problems.

Both not very great sources. Haven't really kept up with Chyros' stuff but last I recall he talked about them stretching caps only relatively close to when it was discovered. Never had issues with them ...

So we ever figure out of DT is actually owned by a human and not a failed domain flipper now?

We have polar here in the northeast US. Some of their stuff is good, but it never really scratches that same itch. Dr Pepper zero was a good thing to ween me off the sugar aspect, but it still has caffeine which is the real reason I gave up Dr Pepper. I guess I'll have to keep looking for something ...

Yeah I've been on the lookout for something to replace it, but most of the options are sadly a bit too out of reach. Guess I'll just stick to water for now

Fancy seeing you here.

AEK keys are of PBT plastic, so it should be able to stand up to most solvents that you throw at it: acetone, nail polish remover, white spirit/turpentine, alcohol.

I would try first with turpentine and then wipe that off with alcohol. If that does not work: acetone or nail polish remover. ("Nail ...

Ladies, Gents, Enbies, I have a problem.
Bought an AEK with oranges, as it's basically my dream vintage board, in in the process of cleaning it up and prepping for a wax mod i noticed something foul.

An AEK and an ASK. The ASK is waxed the AEK is not. Night and day to be honest, and the ASK was in arguably way worse condition when I got it (The switches didn't even feel tactile!)

PM'ed

Looking for a Orange Alps AEK. Condition isn't important, willing to pay shipping. Cable not needed, but working is a must

Dr Pepper

Updated price, was a bit high lol

I bought a Apple IIc with Amber alps a while ago in hopes of restoring it, but never got around to it. I hate to horde such a rare find from the rest of the community and would rather it go to a loving home.
Price is $325 + shipping to the ConUS if you aren't local ...

Reading this thread almost makes me want to clean my desk enough to take pictures of it, but I know in a matter of minutes It'll be covered in Dr Pepper cans and switch parts.

How you describe them tactile sounds kinda fun, if not maybe a bit excessive. Sounds like that's gotta get exhausting to type on after while!

When I say it's binary, I mean it's binary :P
It's an immediate thing, but extremely satisfying. I'd compare it to a light switch or a rotary knob when ...

Cross post from GH, but I feel this needs to be here as well :)

Cool. But where's the user's shadow? Did they only ever use it under the cover of darkness? Were they a cursed creature of the night?


My theory is that the user didn't have it near a window, but was a heavy smoker. when I opened it up it didn't smell awful, but there was the telltale sign of ...

Nope. It's just very shiny ABS

Looking to buy any amber alps anyone has available. I'm willing to buy broken apple IIcs and loose switches. Looking for switches exclusively. Condition doesn't matter but they should be working. Price is negotiable based on condition and quantity. Need a maximum of 120 switches, loose or on broken ...

Much nastiness, and the end result? Everyone* still uses Soarer’s converter, and the code is as unlicensed as ever.

*Not you, obviously. You’re too hip. I get that. But the rest of us squares, who just use what we can use.

For what it’s worth: I still agree with esr’s argument that the ...
