Found this at a thrift store. Obscure video editing interface/console thing of some kind. (I knew it would be interesting when I Googled and there were zero image results.)
The lower 35 keys have Cherry MX black switches, the upper keys have some other kind of switches , no idea what they are. Estimating

Colinf just return it to ellipse and get a replacement or refund. You shouldn’t need to troubleshoot a brand new item that is clearly defective.

Update on USB keyboards output to PS/2, AT, and XT signal:
I have received a small number of requests on this topic. This open source project (also available for purchase pre-built at the second link below) notes that it converts any modern USB keyboard to work with PS/2 input on a computer, as well

Hey Doc, The website seems to be having issues and wont let me DM you. I'd love to purchase this keyboard if it's still up for sale. I can pay the 50 EUR plus shipping. Are you able to shoot me a DM? I may be able to reply via email. Website is giving me issues.

Well, if you also like FK-5001… keyboards with white or blue Alps are a very deep rabbit hole. Omnikey series and Leading Edge DC-3014 are my favorite vintage boards.

You can carefully tap the upper and lower plates apart with a hammer, but you will need a large woodworker's clamp to put them back together. If you're using new foam - there are vendors on eBay - you will need about eight or ten small clamps or strong paper binders to squeeze the plates together.

Hello,
For a few days now, I've been having a problem with my Coolermaster Novatouch keyboard.
The right and left arrow keys no longer work.
I've already tried another keyboard, and it works fine: this confirms a hardware problem.
I'm not really sure what to do to fix this.
If anyone has any ideas to

This video has been a labor of love, several years in the making! It took a lot of time to track down non-working keyboards, desolder switches, and clean them to bring you this full comparison. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t cheap either 😛 But I thought it would be incredibly valuable to document

I know these has been posted a handful of times in the past, but its unusual enough even here (they are build with the finest planned economy has to offer) as they were only produced for a domestic market, for one system in the late 80s.

Here's a google docs of all my keyboard stuff over the years; due to personal reasons, I decided it's finally time to quit this hobby.

Sold to lightningXI. Thank you.

That is probably true. Besides blue (and am I remembering orange?) there was light and dark "gray", and light and dark "brown".
Those may be what I always called dark gray, as I look closer.

Heyo, I assume, since your WTS post currently doesn't say anything, that you have sold off this keyboard? If not, I'm interested!

Selling used compact Cherry keyboard model ML4100, G84-4101PAAUS with 5-pin DIN connector.
I have verified the functionality using Soarer's converter, confirming that all keys are operational.

If anyone has an Avant Prime or Avant Stellar that is not functioning properly, there is a good chance that this is because its EEPROM, which stores the key map and macros, is dead. The usual advice is to desolder the EEPROM and use the keyboard as a non-programmable one. But there is a better way, which,

As I noted earlier, they should be wrapping up this year on all production, but it has been slower than what they previously expected.
As a new update, they have finished assembling 200 B104 inner assemblies (just over 1/3 of the total) and are working on the remaining inner assemblies and cases. The

Hi,

Is it only me, or private messaging stopped working too? I get an error with both Firefox and Chromium, the same crap I get when trying to log in.
Also, anyone remembers when email stopped working? I mean the "email this user" feature -- I know it broke long ago but I'd like to know when exactly,

Hi @pandrew,
I bought a 5251 with one of your compact controllers some time ago and I'd like to start using it. However I don't really know where to start with it. I still have access to the docs you've sent me a while ago but all the links there to your git and anything on your domain does not work.
