I used dremel to cut the steel plate. I used simple hand saw to cut all the plastic. Except the rotor, I dont have any machine tool to do this.

This is a super cool! Would you ever make one of these for someone else, asking for a friend.

I would do it for a good friend but almost impossible for someone I dont know.

my f60 keeps revolving. have just turned it into capacitive buckling spring with customed pcb and xwhatsit. many thinks to iDollar letting me to modify his fssk pcb design.

Holy shit this is amazing. Could you do a typing test of if?

That’s somewhat more pingy than I expected. No dental floss mod I guess?

sounds like the iphone mic is quite sensitive. actual noise is not much pingy than the video. no floss mod.

I plan on cutting my AEK case down to 60%. Can you explain your process further for hiding the cut marks?

your measurement for the cut is very important. give a bit more room for your first cut and use rough sand paper to sand down the plastic to fit. use static model cement to hide the seam, use fine sand paper such as #800 or higher to smooth the surface. spray and file until you cannot see the seam. good luck

This is brilliant - I have several projects where I would like to repair cracks or holes, and I can only dream to get a result half as clean as yours, but this will be very helpful. Could you elaborate on the model cement you’re referring to - and perhaps the exact paint/color? Google wasn’t very helpful.

Hi, I used static model cement from China but it is not too good for this purpose. I plan to use cement from Tamiya which shall give good result.

There is no need to thank for anything. All my work is public. You have created a wonderful version of the PCB and a better keyboard. Congratulations.
Are you using it regularly ?
Cheers

Amazing job!
Can you share the gerbers of this PCB? I have the remains of a faulty '2001 Unicomp laying around: scratched case, cracked barrelplate, etc.

Few questions:
1. What controller did you use?
2. When changing over to the capacitive PCB, are you using the Model M flipper or Model F?
3. Could you link a seller selling the solenoids?

This is a bigger achievement than the one of unicomp, that in five years has been able to make a (not working?) prototype.

It will be the Model F's flipper, as both serve different functions. The M's hammer strikes a membrane, whereas the F's flipper is made of a capacitive plastic that causes a change in capacitance when it presses down on the pads below.
