Will do that later. By the way, you're welcome to register there.

As for stuck bearings - don't discard them! They're of fine quality, and relatively easy to restore with some patience and basic tools:

Done registering.

Will check that out ...

Meanwhile, out of curiosity I've finally discovered who is that MVP your trackball was OEMed for:

Good to know. Now I'm curious what machine my trackball has been connected to.

Meanwhile I haven't got the time to make it ...

I doubt you'll be able to find a converter: Sun always was a "niche market", and prior to your CH it was only ITAC known to me who made compatible trackballs...

I'm pretty sure your best bet is to replace the controller. Not a big deal BTW, and if you don't want to deal with Arduino and similar ...

Very unlikely indeed. Never owned SGI, but on old Apple machines serial pointing devices were not normally supported, at least by MacOS itself. That doesn't mean it can't be done, though: during my Mac-addiction period, it was impossible to find ADB trackball in my country - so being a baller, I ...

By the way, what does "MVP" mean? On your trackball it seems like abbreviation of company name: do you have any information about it? The reason I'm asking is, I have "Curtis MVP Mouse" trackball - but never was able to find meaning of MVP letters...

Yeah, though I'm not familiar with the symbol. Kindly see below.

It's just manufacturer's logo: stylized "CH" letters.


Thanks for pointing that now. Just realized it now. lol


I've never seen PS/2 or ADB devices with non-standard connectors. AFAIK MiniDIN-4 and MiniDIN-6 were integral part ...

BTW, does the connector have text or a symbol embossed in the flat on the side?


Yeah, though I'm not familiar with the symbol. Kindly see below.

Checked the wiki and I think it does not match any of them. I was thinking of NeXT bus mouse ...

Maybe it is for Sun Keyboard/mouse . Like Apple keyboards, Sun keyboards had a port for a mouse, but unlike Apple's ADB which used an addressable protocol, keyboard and mouse signals used different pins.

If you have a multimeter, you could check continuity to see if Sun's pin assignment for mouse ...

Got today another DT225 variant. At first I thought it's a PS2 as the outer shell of the socket has the same cutout, only to realize it has different pins. I searched everywhere and I can't find the same variant of this DT225. Does anyone information on this variant? The only thing I know that the ...

I just picked up one of these in ps/2 off of craigslist about 2 hours ago. I got it for 15 bucks. Needless to say I'm pretty damn happy right now :) .

I bought the ADB variant lately too and will do a converter when I have some spare time.


Did you happen to make a converter for your ADB ...

Hi,

Do you have an estimate for shipping international?

I am interested if you will organize a new GB. I'd get 2 PCB FSSK.

Refund received. My sincere condolences to you and your family and hopefully things could be better about your kid's health.

Sorry to necro this thread, but just wondering if someone has an extra pcb they are willing to let go?

Glad to hear from you again, lot_lizard. Good to know all work out fine on your end.

Just curious, has the PCB been manufactured? If not is it possible to order an extra set of PCB/controller? Just for backup purposes or convert the innards of my SSK to FSSK in the future.
SSK->FSSK will need ...

Is it still possible to add a spring to my order? I'm also curious on how lighter spring feels on a full board. A single spring? You can certainly just have. If you are wanting a full set, I could certainly invoice you if you like for the same price everyone else paid. We were able to make this ...

@elecplus, also interested on one 4704 F62.

I notice the foam is not included on the kit but only on the individual parts. Do I need to add it separately? For the kit options, I only included options that you could select to keep it tighter. The foam and fasteners would be included
Thanks, Just saw it on the description. Silly me too busy ...

Does someone has an idea or suggest the best option for top plate/bottom plate/side spacer combination? I'm quite new to this and I'm not sure what to choose.

Checking the options.

When will the GB start? Can't afford at the moment but hopefully could after a week or two.

On the first picture(w/ HHKB), why is the plate a bit larger than the HHKB? Does this replica not the same size with HHKB?

Just adding here, if you are on Mac(yosemite), this commands works for me in identifying the device:
I usually got this: /dev/cu.usbmodem1441

I have to register to thank you for this metalliqaz. I found a google cache of your page on geekhack but unfortunately it was dated around March and can't find the latest one. I use your firmware to program my JD40 and it works perfectly on windows but not on Mac. My JD40 on mac is not registering ...

Sweet, do you have an estimate of how much it will be? And what's included in the kit?
