Also really good, but I think the grey caps fit the aluminium case better. It's somehow more pleasant to look at imo.

And the ?/ key is still misplaced

Ah ok, that checks out. A bit ashamed to admit, but I never noticed that until now. Thanks for explaining!

Besides from the obviously much prettier color scheme, I really like what you did with the arrow keys on the right. Is there a reason why some of the legends are black and some are white?

First of all, very nice find! The locklight thing sounds suspiciously like with all the XT boards that handled that board-sided... (As in, whenever the key is pressed, the locklight's state changes). Same thing with the Zenith Z-150 XT, for example. Can you try it with a converter of some sorts?

While I'd totally jump on a JIS replacement set for my 106, even in pale beige, I kind of have to agree here. The Sachiko colorway is simply too beautiful, Andreas.

That too may happen. At this moment I register 2 folks seriously interested in the ISO enter (including you).

I would like to join in on that ISO version. And darkcruix's board is simply mouthwatering

This thing is fucking sexy! How do those switches feel?

Holy mother of wallet

On the M0116 you can actually remove the Apple Logo fairly easily. There's a hole on the inside of the case and you can just push it out with a toothpick.

Gotta try those browns once your build is finished and you have the chance to bring it to a convention or smth like that. I wanna see what the fuzz is all about

I personally have no experience with the switches Apple used in the ADK, but it sounds like "Dome with Slider"-like switches should be right up your alley. BTC Dome with slider and Topre come to mind. Might be worth checking that out.

Some really are, but a lot of them aren't really my type

Thanks for the Info ! Didnt realize that preh was german

Yes! The company has quite the interesting history, and especially their early boards are very interesting, but 2011 they sold off their keyboard department.

Ohh, very nice SSK! What do those usually go for these days?

Thanks! Sorry for the bad news, but it's already sold and about to be shipped.

Bump, still available. Will take pretty much any offer. As long as this thing gets a good new home, I'm satisfied

I didn't even know there were different versions of the bigfoot F. Which one is rarer?

nice

Do you have some pictures? I kinda wanna see that Microswitch with the original box

That's plenty helpful, thanks

How would one achieve this without a logic analyser?

I have a wheelwriter I use from time to time, either for art or just for fun. This thing is an entirely different beast, but I don't want to rip it apart, to be honest. My main goal is to get the whole thing working eventually.

Given the fact that I filled it up from half and had 3/4 left when I returned, I'd deduct it was about 25 quid. Not a bad deal

Well chaps, seems I'm in luck today:

1 hour drive, 15 bucks. And it seems I can even put the gutted unit from guidemetothelight to use

Nice find and welcome! I remember that there are some threads here where people actually converted their honeywell boards. Like this one here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19688&p=423217&hilit=convert+hall+effect#p423217 or this one https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24822&p=...

I know of plenty PC-AT Alps boards, but the selection for XT seems to be quite narrow. In regards to sound, the DC is top tier though! At least, that's what I've heard

But in regards to build quality and so on, are there better Alps XT boards (or more like chassis) out there?

PM'd

Very nice! Is the DC-2014 really the best blue Alps XT-layout board or is it the only one?
