deskthority

I just started to edit the mirror at https://wiki.themk.org/index.php/Main_Page

One of the red keys:

Note it got heavily damaged in transport.
The serial looking port at the side is blocked off, you have to diassamble the keyboard to access it.

Happy to shere another keyboard for the (or any other) wiki. Pics are public domain/use them as you wish.

The keyboard is of a Siemens PG750 luggable computer.

There you go:

As requested, the ungodly tulip keyboard. Space bar is spring loaded and the key caps have an alps mount.

For use in the (or another) wiki.

Pleased to share a drop in keyboard without logic ICs. For use in the (or another) wiki.

Since the wiki is wonky I'd like to share some pictures of this keyboard. I've seen it pop up here and there and wanted to clarify that it is just (a cute) rubberdome keyboard.

bump, adjusted prices

Yikes

Bump!

Original buyer vanished and hasn't been online since we talked. Added some Alps keys - I used them for repairs, but haven't had a broken Alps white in years.

Oh hey, funnily enough I made that entry into the wiki Shame it is so broken rn.

Interesting description. I've played with the Alps mount version of SMK, which are probably very similar. Sounds like your keyboard is by Codegen. If you do a search here for CG101F (no hyphen) you'll find a youtube video (of the same model with Futaba switches). If the site was working right you ...

Dropping this here since the wiki is malfunctioning. Release under PD, no mention needed. Feel free to copy, reuse and do whatever with it :)

Thanks a lot! They do really feel nice. Kind of a mix between mx blue and alps white.

Any ideas about this one? At first glance I thought about a Mitsumi KDM - but the switch in the pic is clicky. And the cross is the same height as the ring.

Unfortunatly the keyboard is unbranded and the FCC ID seems to be generic: G4V3J7CG-101F
There's only one ...

It rests in my ever growing parts bin/casket. You never know when you need something off an old board

i could have sworn ive just seen them on ebay a few days ago.


xD 40€?

Indeed. It was this one (matching ser.no.):

Yup, that's right. I won the auction, but unfortunately both keyboards were non-functional. So I had to harvest two controller ICs and ...

Are there super dark grey switches by Cherry?
I cleaned a G80-0581 and noticed on closer inspection that the switches are not black, but dark gray. Is this a normal color deviation or a separate switch? It feels like a normal MX Black to me

All gone, check back later


Located in germany.

SOLD! Just keeping it up because of the pictures:

Up for sale is a rather weird G80-1165 by incomm.

- No idea about it's history
- I cleaned it, but you may want to give it another extensive clean
- Cable is chewed, but working. I can throw in another coiled PS/2 cable or solder it on if desired ...

In case you missed my pm - I'm in for one pcb

Nice find! Be sure to add this info to the wiki!

... Oh wait

You can browse it to an extend using a mobile browser, but you won't be able to add anything right now. Real bummer.

Sorry for double posting; but can anybody recommend another place to document classic keyboards? Preferrably a wiki, I find forums for documenting a bit tedious to navigate

Looks like a great project, I might snatch a pcb if shipping to europe isn't too expensive.

Oh, and I kinda hate to ask - what is the advantage to other projects like the blusb? viewtopic.php?f=55&t=17388

Has been like that for me since approximately two weeks or maybe even longer. At least some pages on the wiki are readable with the Google translate mode ("translate this page" next to the title on google search).


Meh, that really stinks. I think the deskthority wiki is invaluable and I really ...

Is anybody here with server access to fix this ?

I'm not able to open the wiki at all, getting a HTML 500 error
