Interest in Televideo protocol adapters

I'm working on converting my Televideo 965 and 802 keyboards. The actual conversion are not too dissimilar. I'm thinking of ordering some extra teensy's or arduinos to make some extra converters. If anyone is interested, let me know. It is an easy way to get a linear space invaders keyboard under 50 ...

Victor Keyboard with Hosiden (I think) Switches

These switches appear to be fairly rare, let alone in a pc compatible keyboard. I was super excited because XT and AT layouts are my favorite layouts, especially when you remap the keys. I love having full control of my pc without moving wrist, toggling num lock and using the nav clusters that way ...

Re: Desperate to try out a beamspring


Really want to give one for a spin. I currently have a beamspring of my own, but its in non working condition, with not even a single switch working properly. I realize it's a huge risk to ship a stranger a keyboard worth this much, but if anyone is willing to take the plunge then I can assure the ...

Has anyone seen these in a keyboard or is anyone interested in doing a group buy? It says minimum order is 5000, but, in my experience, you can negotiate ...

Re: Identify this weird kpt switch clone? Idk what it is

Cool. I was thinking that it felt remarkably similar to an alps switch. It didn't bind as much as KPT blues do.

Identify this weird kpt switch clone? Idk what it is

It has the stem of a kpt switch, but black, and a unique housing with no letters ir markings.

Has anyone seen this sort of switch?

Edit: sorry my finger is in the pic

Re: m3501 locking switch question


I shall speculate otherwise.

“Locking caps lock” is a feature in QMK etc. as a (hacky) way to support mapping other (better) mods to an unmodified latching Caps Lock. There is no inherent magic to latching switches: they’re switches, which latch. Interpreting them, controller side, is where the ...

m3501 locking switch question

Does anyone know if swapping the locking switch on the capslock switch for a non-locking switch, would let that key behave like a normal key?

Reason being, I really like to map capslock to control.
