As someone who just found this page, the GB hasn't opened yet right?

So jelly. I have the 107 and the tinsaver with a 50 key in the mail right now. I just need that 77 key....

oh cool I was wodnering where this turned up.

I had a chance to acquire one of these for $107 about a year or so ago, (after I figured out the part number) but passed it up. Good to see it's still in the community.

I notice it has the cool bottom pan unlike the 1387033. Do you mind opening the ...

That is so nice, me wants !

I am a fan of 1 part caps myself but the caps you have there look amazing.

Personally i would change the stepped F style caps for M ones as i have done on my 122 key.

I wonder if ISO conversion is possible on the space-unsaver and 122 , hmm

the back plate is in ...

Now that I have a decent camera, here are some pictures of my recently acquired unsaver with OG APL caps:

Grain Belt Beer



I'm not a super huge fan of beer, but my friend picked up a 6 pack of this one time and it tasted quite interesting (in a good way).

I'm now taking order on these cases. PM me here on check out my sale thread on GH for more info!

The case itself is quite high, together with the stand this thing is so huge that it seems to lose benefits from the small form factor. I also dislike the angle it creates, it's way to big for my taste but I like my keyboards generally a little bit flatter.

The stand simlpy looks like it doesn't ...

What don't you like about it? I'd love to get everyone's opinion

Have you considered finger modeling?


That's not my finger


dun dun dun.........


Anyways, I redid the top so that it was right and it works for the most part. I also made a bar style foot

I only wanted to put chamfers on the bottom of the foot, but I am a ...

We should have "Like" buttons. Because I don't have anything to contribute but I think this is really cool.
What kind of tools did you use? Which parts did you have made?
I looked at some of the pictures on GH but a more verbose description would be great. I'm not that craft-savvy. :)

Other than ...

Just thought I'd post this here at DT as well as GH. I'll try to keep this thread updated with info, but the GH thread will always be up to date, sorry DT :(

So I started another bottom with butternut (It's a blonde species of walnut.) Anyways, after extensive ...

Nope, it's a poker one, I just like to have 2 Fn keys on either side of the spacebar

What the deuce? How is it that you have 1x keys to the left and right of the spacebar?

Those are the Fn keys and since there are no real Fn keys with that set, I used the arrow keys

Here was mine a few days ago:

Wow, that's a ton of SSKs!

I know right!

Nope, I didn't have any on hand to test with

I believe it's PVC, at least there's a writing saying "PVC" in the back of my model m

Hmm, I did try melting some of the shavings in acetone, but nothing happened. So that ruled out ABS and I think PBT


This reminds me of the keyboard mod urban legend of the guy who was cutting his case. It ...

Grond wrote:Great stuff The_Beast, I didn't know about your work. Looking forward to your keyboard case!

Thanks! I did advertise here at DT, but there wasn't much interest...


I'm super excited for the case as well!

Ouch. Did you use superglue ("cyanoacrylate") ? Superglue is known to break if the glued parts are hit. I would instead use a solvent-based glue. Humbrol's "Poly Cement" in a yellow bottle is what I use the most for gluing small things, but you need a perfect fit. For large things I use "Uhu ...

Thanks guys! This is fast becoming my favorite style of rest.


Btw, that isn't red, it's a deeper purple. And here's a link to my subforum on GH:

can't wait to see real your 60%!

I'll be keeping the F row on this attempt. Next time I'll try for a closer to 60% board

Nice pictures of the chop. It's slimming season for Model Ms right now!

http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/from-model-m-to-60-t6013.html

I'd trim it to a TKL, myself, but still to get an M to begin with.

Same concept and procedure, you just cut the case a little bit bigger!


Good luck finding ...

Here's what I did on 6.21

Cut the case today using the table saw

I forgot the SD card in my camera today, so I only had around 5 pictures that I could take, otherwise I would have taken more

Why is this in the marketplace?

Is the Arrclus layout supposed to be used as a numberpad?
