Do you have any other linear Space Invaders AT board you are willing to sell?

Like this.

Whatever the hell this is: http://allegro.pl/klawiatura-grass-vall ... 02666.html

For the price you can't really complain much, me thinks. I've bought keycaps for more than this board

If you find any space invaders boards in AT layout let me know. Would be interested in one of those.

UPDATE TIME:

So after spending some time desoldering and re-soldering caps and resistors on the NTC6153EA, with no luck I've declared the PCB dead.
My initial plan was to find another NTC6153EA regardless of what ALPS it came with and just transplant the PCB. Finding one of those suckers was ...

Bro that's a great Wang you got there!

On a side not, need to hunt for some brown alps... it's going to be a chore. :/

Very nice! I do like the Omnikey boards, need to get me some

Out of pure curiosity how much do you think my blue alps NTC form this topic photos-f62/lookie-what-i-ve-got-for-15- ... 16144.html is worth, fully functional, pristine condition?

(not looking to sell, just wondering)

Speaking of F122 and it's clones:

Whatever that thing is

did you replace the little caps too ?


there is also a missing cap above the 74 series logic chip

EDIT

and a missing diode above the electrolytic
There are often places on the PCB to put components that are not needed for a particular board. There was never anything there to begin with. My ...

One other thing I've noticed: if I put it on XT mode and power up, the lock lights flicker dimly, and when I press num lock, the light goes on brightly for a second and then dead board again. None of the actual keys function tho.

I'm not sure, I'm going to try replacing the resistors first, before ...

Unfortunately the board is non-responsive. I've replaced a 10uF capacitor on it, thinking it might be faulty, but that didn't help. I see nothing obviously wrong with it, so if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. When turning on the PC with the board plugged in, the lock light flicker on and then ...

Would like one of those as well, but they are a tad too expensive for me.

Grats man!

Indeed it is. I'm now a part of the blue alps club. Go me!

From very light salmon to orange, nice. Do they feel any different tho? I'm guessing it's the same switch, just more colouring in the platic?

Might give it a once over with the sand paper if it bothers me at all. Will see once I sit down to it. I'm pretty knackered right now after a week of pretending to be nice to people and getting fucked sideways... so yea.

Great find!

I like that other board too :)

I like it too ;) Didn't have the time yet to test any of them in use, but I did a test with your board. Took it in hands, upside down and shook hard (looking like an imbecile while doing it I'm sure...) to see if the caps are loose. Nothing happened ...

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, so here we go. I'll just say that the seller had no idea at all what he had, and didn't even know the make, so he was selling it as 'keyboard'. No joke that's what the listing said. Also the board is in excellent condition, and it even came with the original ...

Nice, looks a lot like mine. Remember, these are far from "plug and play"...that seller has a good picture of the connector.
Yea I know. I'm not actually ...

Sorry for not replying, was busy lately.
I'm not currently looking for any other boards. I have some renovations in the house to do, so there goes my money and my time (also space to store stuff for some time).

I haven't tried them all yet (not sure I ever will get to try them all ...

Ah, I guessed as much. Sorry for derailing the thread a bit! I've got at least 200 more white Alps than I could ever want so I know how you feel. :D

How do the green Alps feel in the NTC? I wonder how the plastic plate interacts with them. I like linear Cherry switches with a plastic plate or no ...

@scottc
Thanks!
I don't really have anything left over, aside of 5 switches and some weird sized caps (1 unit caps lock, long ass spce bar, 2 unit print screen and a few others that don't really work on any other board). Sorry.
I do have 77 white ALPS tho

darkholypl, I was wondering who got that board from Allegro... I was bidding on it too but forgot to bid at the end of the auction. I missed it by about 30 seconds. :(

I lost that as well. I got sniped, but I contacted the seller on day 1, and asked if I can just flat out buy it for cash. He said ...

@emdude
Thanks!
An artificially clicky switch to me is any switch that has and added 'clicker' to make the sound, but works just as good without one (MX blue, green, white ALPS ect.).
A buckling spring board is an example of 'naturally' clicky, since the click is a part of the mechanism.

@seebart ...

Hi all.

Since I've just finished my project, I've figured why not share a few somewhat low quality photos with you all :lol:

NTC KB-6851EA that I bought from Nuum some time ago served as my board of choice. It might not be the greatest build quality, but I was more concerned about the size and ...
