Hi!

I invested in proper desoldering equipment and I'm looking to do some harvesting and maybe even restoring of old keyboards, if it's possible.

If you happen to have some lying around, let me know!

Note:
I'm also up for trading, I have an old IBM Model M 1987, ISO with german keycaps. Will make a proper post of it afterwards.
(Some keycaps are in the wrong place etc, and there are two left arrows for some reason.)

What kind are you looking for exactly?

Whatever you do, please do not ever throw away the harvested boards.

In this group, that's like saying, "I recently bought a scalpel and looking for kidneys to harvest."

I have lots of old keyboards. Old Cherry ones, younger Cherry ones. Are you located in Germany?

What would you do with harvested Wyse boards?

Put switches in them idk, depends on the condition, always a use for them if they’re not already destroyed

PCEs make great chassis for other switches imo, I have one with box pinks and I really like it. (I did jumper some switches around so that the rollover would be better for gaming and after that it was great)
