There is a list in the Wiki , where it is listed as having "membrane switches", based on a conversation with a German distributor of TA typewriters .
I suppose that could be some kind of spring-over-membrane switch: different types were common on mechanical typewriters.

AFAIK, Triumph-Adler ...

Anyone knows what kind of switches the Triumph Adler Twen 180 plus typewriter uses? Found it at a thrift store, but i couldn't look underneath the caps to see for myself... They felt nice when pushed, linear mechanical, but i'm not sure what exactly.

Open to price suggestions, since my initial asking prices might have been a little bit greedy... :) Tbf, i only have a small idea about their worth, based mostly on the ebay prices of sold, fully functional, amiga 2000 keyboards. So... feel free to make me an offer for both of them (shipping should ...

I would like to sell them both to a single buyer, if possible, so i'm asking 70 euro for both of them + shipping to Europe (or anywhere else, but shipping costs will be higher). Ask for an exact shipping quote.

The amiga 2000 case is yellowed, but otherwise is fine, has no scratches. Same for the ...

It has been sold, sorry for the late reply.

Accepting price proposals.

Want to sell a Cherry Compact G84-4100 keyboard with Cherry ML switches. It's brand new, unused. Tested and working.

The layout is QWERTY (german). Made in Czech Republic. USB connector.

Price: 30 euro + shipping. SOLD
Shipping costs 12-15 to most EU countries, ask for exact quote.
Payment ...

Found this beauty in a thrift store, not sure what to do next, lol. I don't know if it's working (i've checked and it's working), otherwise it's in great shape, apart from being dusty. I'm afraid if i don't take it, it will end at a recycling centre, sooner or later... It's way too heavy and bulky ...

I have a couple of vertical mice that i want to get rid of (ie sell), is anyone here interested in all 3 of them? I bought them because i wanted to try different shapes and sizes and couldn't decide on pictures alone. Here's some pics, message me if interested in all 3 of them: https://imgur.com/a ...

It's probably the camera's fault/lighting. The caps look very nice on it.

Nice, i'll bookmark this thread for future reference. :) I was thinking for some time to try and sculpt a few keycaps, followed by painting, since this is what attracts me most, but i'm still in the process of gathering info about the materials needed and techniques used for keycaps.

About the ...

Already posted, my bad.

Depending on the price and availability, i would be interested too (the blue one).

Why not the new USB-C connector? Is it more expensive to implement?

The reason i'm asking is because i've recently discovered the QMK fw builder site ( http://qmk.sized.io/ ) and all the neat things it can do for a noobie like me (including the wiring diagram!). Is the firmware updating process as easy as connecting the board to the computer and dropping the .hex ...

Will this support QMk fw?

Thing with the Type C is that I NEED it for the inter-connect between the two parts as I need a minimum of 6 connection including the VCC and GND.
Wouldn't be easier to use RJ12 (6 pins) or RJ45 (8 pins) plugs and cables? They're also more securely attached than USB C. Like the UHK is using: http ...

My filco minila air lasted weeks on end with two aa batteries. And i think it had BT3.0, BT4.0 (BLE) is even less power hungry.

And here are two more adventurous layouts, more compact, because i can't make up my mind which one would suit me best. Take in consideration this is my first time designing such a thing, so any feedback is welcomed. As you can see, the second layout is just the split version of the first, but with a ...

You should check out Enpass: https://enpass.io/ Cloud storage is optional and does most of the things you're looking for.

Why not using 2 AAA batteries (replaced with rechargeable Eneloops, if desired), like many BT keyboards do? If the battery life is long enough (weeks?), i don't see such a big need for a USB battery charger, imo...

It's not the most compact out there, but it's pleasing to my eyes and uses standard keys.

What keyboard is that? It seems to have bluetooth.

I'm late to this, but i would love a HAL9000 color scheme based on the logo:

What would be the value of this Epson PX-8 in almost mint condition? I think the switches are Hirose Cherry M8, but i'm not 100% sure:

Do these keycaps fit the cherry MX switch? They sure seem to look like the MX stem...

I'm checking new color schemes
May i suggest the blueish color from the original HAL 9000 logo? :geek: I think the mods will look great in that color, combined with the default light grey of the alphas and maybe some red or black for the Esc.

The color is similar ...

Oh man, my wallet will hate me for this. Granite is my favorite set (so elegant retro-modern!) and i was sad that i missed all the past sales. It seems now is my chance to finally get one!

Just dropped by to say that i love this layout and project, for exactly the reasons you laid out in the first post. My first custom will be exactly like this!

What about that 60% NovaTouch that was rumored a few months ago?
