Pearl and pebble it is. Just don't expect the legends to be anywhere near where they should be....

Got a great deal on a Citizen Independent 1481010 . Don't see myself wearing it much but there's something about it that ticks for me.

I feel fertile looking at that design ... I guess I'm weird.

Great keyboard! May I ask where you found these nice Windows and Menu keys? Did Unicomp sell them to you?

Strong isopropyl alcohol on ABS is not a good idea, it can spoil the surface. I would only use it if other means are unsuccessful. E.g. ballpen marks are quite easy to remove with a bath in denture cleaners and a soft scrub.

In case people begin to forget: Soarer's converter isn't hardware -- it's a piece of software (for AVR microcontrollers). You can download it for free from this forum. https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/xt-at-ps2-terminal-to-usb-converter-with-nkro-t2510.html You can buy very nice hardware that has...

Yes, white Alps are kinda nice switches, but the blue SMK switches that Monterey used in a lot of these boards are indeed an absolute favourite of mine.

I appreciate it, thanks slom!

HCF is now included in Amazon Prime Video here in Germany (don't know where else), so we poorer folk can watch it.

Loved the first season. Second season is a bit boring so far, I'm in the middle of it.

Why on earth is it called "MX"? I guess this is like Mac OS X, where it's stuck at X forever as the version number has itself become a name. I guess "MX" now means "a keyboard switch" instead of denoting a series. I vote for MZ personally. While this is true, I always thought that the X in MX stood...

The caps don't fit Cherry MX!

Cherry has people who actually design switches? That's great news!

The classic and secure way of fixing that would be to find the solder spots at both ends of the broken path and solder in a piece of wire between them that bridges the gap.

I always wanted 7bit to make a SMITE cap.

Used to love The Far Side, but it's only a distant memory at this point. There hasn't been anything new since 1995.

You're right. But just the thought of the endless hours of joy you can give to someone who doesn't know it yet by showing it to them makes it worth the ridiculous odds...

xkcd must be mentioned.

Yes, this is the first approach I am thinking about taking. I was wondering if I should get the Teensy++ 2.0 or the Adafruit ATMega32U4 breakout board instead? Both seem more than up to the task. If you're going for a converter, you can also use the "Micro Pro" which is dirt cheap, or the Teensy 2....

Also, there is an open source converter: you can configure Hasu's TMK controller to convert AT to USB. However, you can also configure it to work as a controller and replace the Model M's original controller. What you need is basically an ATMega32U4 breakout board and some membrane connectors. I use...

Wenn ich als alter Sack schon mal im Vorteil bin ...

Es geht um das Erkennen von Tastaturen. 8-) https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/TGIQF-das-Quiz-Schau-mir-auf-die-Tasten-3918750.html Vorsicht, es kommt auch stark auf die Zeit an, also lieber schnell und mal falsch als zu lange überlegen.

@WilliamG: I paid for my Round 5 order on November 18, 2013 and got my magnificent keycaps on August 8, 2015. Many people paid much earlier in Round 5 and waited longer than 2 years. You could have known that if you had read up on 7bit's GBs before committing. In other words: it will be fine. Eventu...

Nice, is that a real thing? WASD keyboards?

Most people here have more than enough keyboards to use one per game...

Soarer wrote both a controller and an AT converter, these are two separate programs. The 5291 can be made to work with Soarer's controller, but it's used as kind of a converter for the output of the IBM capacitive sensing chips. I'm not sure if the IBM chips handle debouncing, but I don't think so.

Congrats! A very satisfying keyboard if you have the desk space.

I'm using the upper function keys as media keys on mine. You can get keycaps for that from Unicomp.

It might also have helped if he hadn't named the thread "We need your votes!". The posting was ambiguous and I have no reason to think that this was unintentional. He only let the Schrödinger wave function break down to one of the possible interpretations when he was confronted.

This face on a keycap would win all the votes!

Thanks gateron and jkaos92 for answering. I would probably not have voted for them if I had known about them employing shady business practices. For the keycaps, I still think that what they show on their website is beautiful and original. I don't know much about the process of the "real artists", m...

I would have preferred SP this year, but the balldrop win is something I can get behind.

Without quoting everything What you mean exactly, what should i explain, why i nominated and voted KF or why JK winning is a joke? Umm just to let it be clear, you guys voted for a shady company that was nominated as a JOKE! This entire thing is akin to a Budweiser product winning "Best Craft Beer"...
