New post [Keyboards] Best vintage keyboard without spending life's savings?

Now that’s a Deskthority story! Welcome to repentance.
I was a kid at the time of ubiquitous mechanicals, so it was the adults around me who were doing the throwing stuff out. I generally liked the layout of the new stuff better but missed the clicking. Still, if the plug wouldn't fit the new computer,

New post [Keyboards] Model F Battleship connundrum...

A dodgy flipper, eh?
https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=8052
You'll likely need to open it up and take a good look. I wouldn't be surprised if you found a break like this. Those flipper hinges are easily the weakest part of Model Fs in my experience (as the crumbly foam at least stays in place).

New post [Keyboards] Can you please help me to identify this keyboard

It's certainly not an Apple keyboard. The layout, however, is very Apple II.
It will be an Apple II clone's keyboard. I don’t know much about those, but they were a thing of the late 1970s through the early 1980s. This board will be that age, too. Everything about it says well pre-1990.

The ever familiar comfort of knowing things are still moving forward, however slowly :D
I am quite excited to eventually get my hands on the B122, though rather than 3 years I have only yet waited a year and a half.

New post [Keyboards] Firmware on New Model F (F77)

Hello,
I have a Model F (F77) from Model F Labs and I would like to flash the firmware so I can remap some keys.
I am trying to follow the instructions from https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/manual/#10 without much luck. English is not my first language but also I think the instructions are not very clear

DT is so buggy I can't even send a message to you. Would it be possible for me to get more images of this keyboard, mainly on the inside? I'd love to document the PCB code of the board and the sticker label as well. Please reach out to me via discord @mcmaxmcmc.

I opened up Discord for the first time in an age and added you by username. It's… a fidgety app for my liking, but evidently everyone's gone somewhere.
Any more (characteristically well considered) colour ways for these caps would be a godsend, and those tricky four new keys for the R4. Now you've

New post [Keyboards] New switches for an older timer

Speaking as another old-timer, the kind of linear switch I'd be interested in would be super smooth (obviously) and nicely damped on both ends of the stroke. Something with a real solidity to its slider, too, like it's on a metal rail. No wobble. No bullshit. And ideally, yes, indirect sensing (capsense,

New post [Gallery] Learning the Art of Flash and Keyboards

I had fun shooting these , still with the same old kit, I might add. That flash works wonders in the darkness! Kinda has me tempted to look at a mirrorless body to go with my old glass.
That macro lens is still a world of fun.

New post [Keyboards] Aesco A83 - KVM not registering double taps CTRL

The keyboard is connected to a KVM. The KVM make use of double taps to switch from one device to another.
Unfortunately, the KVM do not detect the double taps done on

New post [Keyboards] Any love for the Aesco A67/A83 Electric Induction switches?

I thought I was done with buying keyboards. I've been sober for many years. Even stop spending time on GH and DH. :-) Until I came across these Aesco A67/A83 with Electric Induction switches.
I received mine yesterday. The feel of these linear switches is impressive. Hard to compare them with something
