Apologies if this has been answered already, but I just remembered having preordered a B62 today and started looking into the status. I see that they might start shipping around June or so. Great!
Curious what the difference is between the model here and the Round 2 keyboard I preordered. Specifically

Washers to the rescue!
Also, depending on external diameter of the rivet stems, reaming the hole so that larger screw fits. But that's riskier, as you only have one chance - if the larger screw penetrates outer diameter of the stem, that stem is gone.

Hi @nfc or @nfc2, I am not able to find your listings on ebay and Wallapop do you mind share your contact details with me, I'm in for two pcb :)

attached dust sleeves to barrels relatively easily. Supporting wall came about 0.75mm thick - should be enough for people not explicitly trying to break the key, I guess. Increasing barrel diameter should provide more sturdiness - but can cause barrel to keycap contact.

Thanks for the feedback! I guess I'm not as big of a fan of Model Fs as some people, even though this XT is my daily WFH board.
I went with the Model M122... for the reasons given above. Mostly it comes down to repairability--Ms are a whole lot easier to repair than Fs as far as I'm concerned. Now

Messaged!

Attempted a repair on a cracked barrel plate with ABS glue and it worked out better than I thought it would.
Put it on heavy with a Q-tip and let it cure for a week before I did a screw mod. I had a major break in the center
and hair line cracks running down each channel. This barrel plate is rare because

Hi.
I'm a disgrace, to myself and to anyone who reads this. It turns out that—for some stupid reason—the date and clock were crossed. I think it's time to start wearing the glasses my wife gave me for my birthday.
Sorry :) Let's pretend nothing happened.
BTW (both boards are working as expected)

I'm looking for one of these...
( direct link to image )
...an OEM cable from a 1985-'86 IBM M122 keyboard (such as a cable from IBM keyboard part number 1389162), in new or good condition, not stretched out. Open to trades (I have a new-in-box black coiled IBM Model M cable, SDL-to-DIN5) or buying

Bump, still looking for this.

This is a very old thread, but I figured I'd add a data-point for foam and foil. I have a KB5151 that chatters (multiple of the same key output with one press) quite badly. It does this with most, though not all, switches.
And then a few of them just don't register every time, notably the shift keys.

Hi, I can not PM either.
Also sometimes i can not open this link here in China. We have a link in aliexpress too.
Could you contact us there and then we send a promotion code via ali message.

Hey folks, I'm working on restoring an Apple M0110 and found gerber files for a Pro Micro footprint PCB that works with these long stem alps. I spent a bunch of money to print a few of these on 1.6mm PCBs with thick ENIG surface finish - these feel really nice. I also spent some time to get the ZMK firmware

I found an old Motorola development terminal from 1982, and it also happens to feature the worst switches I have ever seen in a keyboard. :lol:
They are a linear spring-over-membrane design with a cross mount, and features an internal as well as an external coil spring.

Also a weird metal

Dm's are open;)

I'm seller. The price is down $500 (USD)

Yes edbods, I noted last year that the boxes and outer foam would be updated for my orders to the factory in the future. This will allow more space for the keycaps and additional burst rating for the box itself. However, for current stock, just like with the old cases from the original production,

Today we mark the five-year anniversary of my initial post here on DT. The title of my post was an allusion to the previous effort to recreate the lisp keyboard started by vsedach. My thanks go to all the folks in the community who inspired my work. In particular, I was impressed by the work of rsbseb

Those Multitech boards are fascinating—I’d love to see more close-ups of the key matrix if you get the chance :| :roll:
