but nah i would not do that to you guys i have one beamspring in amazing condition i would not want someone else to miss out . in a perfect world i would be nice to get the grey and black caps on my one but it still amazing without

welcome to the club!

many of us here have a little (some not so little) IBM collection. I´m not sure I will find a Beamspring in the EU in any layout!

You're QWERTZ, right, Seebart? If so, I may have one spare eventually.

I bought it : 324 dollars for the all package (shipping cost to France 47 USD + custom fees 60 USD)... i hope that it is a fair price but i am tired of missing stuff like that and it is too hard to get them in Europe in good condition.
Last stuffs i would like, are a space saver (i saw only one time an Azerty Lexmark version) and a display writer with buckling spring, a former "graphic" worker has one in his showcase next to my appartment but he wants to give it to a museum (computer + printer + keyboard), at least he accepted to sell me a terminal ibm board "Big Foot"...

Take any SSK, convert it to ISO and put an AZERTY keyset on it.

I haven't figured out how to share links with the current eBay app.

Type T1 four-tab clone (probably Himake AK-CN2) because that's what was used in the Windows key version of the FK-2001.

One thing about that Focus-- it's one of the few places you'll find a full compliment of "conventional" 1.25x ALPS modifiers. (AT101Ws have weird bulged ones). The Windows and Menu keys are pad-printed, though.

There are several like this from more than one seller on eBay at the moment. There is also an F107.

Where does the wiki say that?

Tried to look at my browsing history to recreate the chain of links that led me to that conclusion but I can't find anything atm.
quick question : what's the difference between APC-H412 and APC-H410E ? the 412 sold already@120$ but the 410 is still up at 50$.
Also I'd love it if you guys post here if you buy anything from my links so I know what's great/interesting for you.

I can only guess that it's related to something written here:
http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/acer_kb101a.html
(Which is linked from the KB-101A page on the wiki.)
I've certainly never mistaken Alps and NEC.

Pass. I've personally never paid much attention to NEC keyboards or switches, and they're almost completely absent from the wiki. alps.tw has some nice photos of the switches, but I don't yet understand enough about them to document them, and it's virtually impossible to learn from Chinese-to-English translations.
All I know is that NEC clicky switches seem to have a good reputation, from the few people who've tried them.

I can confirm that once again, my NEC APC-H4124 has NEC blue sliders, quite clicky, really nice. Also pretty loud.

MX blacks? in a Commodore 128D? Are you sure? Any source to confirm that, or just a guess on your part?

There was a thread here in the photos section I think with this keyboard. I remember I spent 15-20 mins trying to find that exact model.
