Hi all,
I am a n00b about mech keyboards and such.

I found this Model F XT at a flea market, falling in love with its swtiches.
Got it for 2 euros. I fully cleaned the keyboard and I really love it:

I would like to know if there is some adapter to make it work on Linux.
I do not want to DIY, do not have time.

If an adapter does not exist on the market, I am going to sell the keyboard

This device works great, but it is not cheap.

Contact Orihalcon directly for a better off-ebay price and shipping to Europe.

@carloratm: There is also the Hagstrom Converter box:

However, it is more expensive than the Orihalcon/Soarer Converter and not as elegant.

When I started with mechanical keyboards, I also thought I would never have the time for DIY projects, but quite soon, I started doing and more and more of them. One of my very first was installing a Teensy inside an IBM XT and using Soarer's Converter software to remap the keyboard to my liking. At the same time, I sanded and painted the plate, installed a flush-mount USB-B connector in the case, and did a "floss mod" to eliminate "ping". I am still amazed that I found the time for such an activity, but the experience boosted my confidence to take on more keyboard refurbishing -- it is very satisfying and useful to boot.

carloratm, you have a PM!
