New post [Group buys] Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
I placed my order Wed, 11 Jan 2023. 3 years later, I still won't have what I paid for. $665.69 by the way. For a keyboard.
People in the GDR didn't wait that long for their Trabant cars to be delivered. It's ridiculous.

New post [Keyboards] Can you please help me to identify this keyboard
Hello,
i have found this keyboard in my old parts collection - but i can't identify it and it is so long ago i got it (1990s) so i don't remember anymore. Maybe Apple or Apple Clone related.... the chip is a Toshiba TMP8048P.

Kind regards

New post [Group buys] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
These boards have always had QC issues, a total of 34 pages worth of them if you search by keyword. Even then, there's probably a lot more.
The paint issues from the 4700 repros were the worst, but it doesn't stop there. We've had so many issues with newer beamspring models, as well as issues with legend

New post [Keyboards] Best vintage keyboard without spending life's savings?
I think youthful exposure to Model Ms really alters the equation. I grew up in the 1980s/90s, ironically just an hour away from (IBM's European production centre) Greenock but I don’t recall any experience with Model M before I got into keyboards in 2013 or so. In fact, I'd already been spoiled by

New post [Gallery] Ursa
I opened up Discord for the first time in an age and added you by username. It's… a fidgety app for my liking, but evidently everyone's gone somewhere.
Any more (characteristically well considered) colour ways for these caps would be a godsend, and those tricky four new keys for the R4. Now you've

New post [Keyboards] Model F Battleship connundrum...
I'm more interested in the typing feel of the F then the appearance of the board; my intention is to use it as a daily driver the way I am using my '88 M122 1392149 now. I just want to be able to keep using it if the case somehow falls apart.

New post [Keyboards] New switches for an older timer
Speaking as another old-timer, the kind of linear switch I'd be interested in would be super smooth (obviously) and nicely damped on both ends of the stroke. Something with a real solidity to its slider, too, like it's on a metal rail. No wobble. No bullshit. And ideally, yes, indirect sensing (capsense,

New post [Gallery] Learning the Art of Flash and Keyboards
I had fun shooting these , still with the same old kit, I might add. That flash works wonders in the darkness! Kinda has me tempted to look at a mirrorless body to go with my old glass.
That macro lens is still a world of fun.

New post [Keyboards] Aesco A83 - KVM not registering double taps CTRL
I just got an Aesco A83, I installed A-HUB to upgrade the firmware to the latest version (1.6 something) and calibrate the keyboard.
The keyboard is connected to a KVM. The KVM make use of double taps to switch from one device to another.
Unfortunately, the KVM do not detect the double taps done on

New post [Keyboards] Any love for the Aesco A67/A83 Electric Induction switches?
I thought I was done with buying keyboards. I've been sober for many years. Even stop spending time on GH and DH. :-) Until I came across these Aesco A67/A83 with Electric Induction switches.
I received mine yesterday. The feel of these linear switches is impressive. Hard to compare them with something

New post [For sale] WTS: IBM Model M industrial, Model M US/Cyrillic keycaps, MultiTech F&F AZERTY
Hello!
Was the keyboard matrix ever documented?
I have a Multitech Micro Professor MPF-III (Apple 2 clone) that uses this keyboard (DE9 plug) ... but without the keyboard. I am designing my own replacement, but I need some images of the keyboard matrix ... or any internal info ... to make a start.
