o7 -- Thank you for your service and inspiration!

Came across an ASCII keyboard without any identification.

The keyboard matrix is made in Japan. The X and Enter are a lighter color, that seems original. The encoder is a KR2376 on a separate PCB below. There is also some sort of conversion PROM after the encoder chip, with 7 bit input and 8 ...

switching to an nginx + fastcgi setup would greatly reduce the hardware resources needed

guess that was simply my internet being a real nuisance then when the server went down :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I couldn't have possibly imagine what the issue could be... I sure hope ...

I'll take 200, thank you!

Hate to break the news to you, but $7 for NOS SKCM Green is super low nowadays. Even for used switches SKCM Greens are around $12-15 per.

There is a Novatouch for sale on ebay, tempting!

Poor price


But to join in, yes, I also have a Novatouch. It's mostly stock -- it's got a dome swap from a 45g 108u just to make sure I have 45g domes on it (it really didn't change much -- guess the ...

This one rings a bell. I could reprise and tell you Someone should pay a princely sum for it because I like this comely beast. Then Photekq could come on, for a well deserved round of applause, to correct me in a delightful sotto voce. :D


Edit: looks like I misremembered. This one is worth a ...

Ooooof... yoinked. RIP

Maybe later down the line... it took quite a long time for me to compile this list tbh, and I'm having less time than I used to. I think there's a list somewhere as well.

Reserved.

So... there is this list:

The caps are quite nice, yeah -- although it may be a little difficult to find keycaps with colorways matching it exactly, in case if you're thinking of using the caps on something else.

why should i match them ? cant i just use them on a normal alps board, if the sizes of the shift , enter ...

These switches are Alps SKFL switches, by the way.

Edit: SKFL, not SKFM. Whoops.

Gold!

Oooh, a Zhuyin AEKII! Great find! Very cool

Cubic profile?

What a stunner! Absolutely paralyzed seeing these pictures. Incredible.

Nice! They seem intact, if not cleaned.

Bump, IBM 3278 added.

I have got to have one of these!! I will save it for when my child is old enough to clean it for me when she gets grounded.

I just dug around in my prison wallet… really dug for it. I can do 5.56 now. You didn’t clean the keyboard so I’m not gonna clean the coins, but 5.56 is 5.56.


Sure ...

Well, it's an auction... but when does it end?

Blue Alps; Leading Edge DC-3014. Great chassis for the switch, albeit it's probably one of the most sought after models out there and they fetch for quite a bit.

F122 sold!

Not many boards can top how cool this board is! Congrats!

I have been admiring the model m for a few years from afar, but just recently obtained my first boards....And what boards they are! I rescued them from a massive bin of old electronics destined for the dump. Quite a few are missing keycaps, but most of their unique printings are still there! I ...
