What flavour?

Ordered a TKL Wenge over the weekend, excited now.

I bought a Filco numpad today and discovered it would lock up after few minutes under Ubuntu when pressing the num lock key. Lucky this system has PS/2 ports so I decided to try it with a passive USB to PS/2 converter I had lying around and worked fine, but for future proofing I then went and dug ou...

It's Buckling Spring.

Been looking for an ISO Model M for ages never seem to find one at a price I could afford/justify until now

I think nearly every institution of education had them

I plan on giving her a coat of bblonde cream in the future.

Seems to me it's a clone of the Model M.

For Pi Day my Model M13 I use with my Raspberry Pi

It's still worth the price to be honest, I am happy to use the regular Enter key.

I am really at a loss as to why the Enter key is inactive while its in arrow pad mode, it's my only problem with it.

I got it from Scan

I like the layout too, which is why I opted for it

No progress pictures sadly, its made out of acrylic.

I am going to order a decal of some kind soon so I could get some better photos after its applied.

I absolutely suck at photography
