These are Cherry MX, but what happened to the keycaps? Did these sit in a hot storage unit for years?

Logitechs, might be good to flip if you replace the keycaps.

Nice terminal boards, most likely domes or foam and foil ...

Thanks for this useful guide! I used it this weekend on a Matias mini quiet pro keyboard.

One thing I would like to point out is that for keyboards with diodes on one of the pins (for n-key rollover) the polarity of the multimeter pins matters (at least it did on my old fluke 70 meter). Instead of ...

I recommend throwing this idea out to Ortholinear Keyboards, if anywhere.

Not a bad Idea, it needs some work for sure before its ready as well.

I am just throwing a crazy idea out there although Ill back this what every layout and I love the HHKB with the 2.5 space.

Hey does typing on it feel just using the pcb no plates ?

if we go TEX we have to work with what they are comfortable with. That would make development so much faster. Otherwise we have to build everything from scratch. As I said I'm currently exploring both options.

Is it just development time and cost that is stopping from producing bluetooth power ...

Looks like you picked up alot of good shit really cheap Blaise! I wonder why this stuff is so much cheaper in Japan.

I believe the price is one "immortal soul", payable on demand, for the moral crime of turning away from Salvation when they had a half decent excuse right there for you to donate and get another keyboard out of it. Sinner!

Hmm. Preachy is a hard mode to write jokes in! I must practice.

Anyway, I ...

Not as far as I know. Alps was never lucky enough to get adopted widely as much as cherry or mushbrane keyboards did. I know there is couple on this site. I dunno of their quality or anything sadly.

Thanks for the suggestions __red__ and mastermachetier.

I have seen the cheap kit DSO's all over eBay. Selling at roughly £15, they're so cheap it's almost beer money, but assembly might try my patience a tad. If I make a mistake, I'm not sure my 30-plus year old digital multimeter (goodness me ...

Finally got a change to sit down and look at this again and it turns out i needed to put the FN in the same place on the second layer.

SO I was looking into this and i found this video and review here . I think you may find it useful .

@seaworthy looks awesome man!

I'm going to have several AEK II with Japanese legends coming to me soon. Once I get them cleaned up I'll probably sell to the community since I won't need them all. I also got a Sharp X68000 which is what I've been trying to get for months but unfortunately I didn't get the black one I was bidding ...

Gold Label Omnikey. Let's see how quickly the listing gets pulled when outside-of-eBay offers reach the seller.

I would love this keyboard in a more standard or useful layout, but to be fair this is pretty decent.

My baby the ASK opened when moving the teensy from an external adapter to internal for more portability since I bring this thing to work everyday. From all the switches I have tried as of now from a few different alps, all kinds of mx, buckling spring, The orange alps switch is my favorite cannot ...

Not sure anyone here would be interested in this but the price is good,

What the hell is going on !

Replace f6 by F6 and F0 by F10 in the first line of your second layer in keymap_raf.c .

Also delete the trailing comma in this line:

NO, TRNS,TRNS,LCTL, TRNS, TRNS,TRNS,TRNS,TRNS,TRNS, DEL , BSPC,TRNS),

I don't know if that's all, but that seems to be what the error messages that you're ...

Does this look like Blue Alps? If so I can take messages from interested people in order to keep the price down.

This is not a custom board , but I was hoping you guys could help me figure out why I cannot compile this keymap.
everything compiles fine with standard keymap or if i comment out the second layer.

I am using the default layout still i wrote a layout yesterday but I can't figure out why. I am not ...

Blue Alps. Original owner. One broken switch as a tax for stupidity.

Hey guys,

How much are my two keyboards worth ? One is a ducky shine zero and the other an IMB model M 122 which has been converted to usb using tmk_software on a teensey. The number pad can be a little finicky I believe this is due to some of the plastic rivets coming loose. The model m has been ...

An odd one, looks like a Japanese 4704. No idea if it's got buckling springs, but I especially like the caps. The alphas, in particular, look very SA-like. I'd feel inclined to grab one if I knew they were compatible with my Model F (or maybe I'd just try an ...
