Success! It took me a while, but there is still that learning curve, obviously. I took apart the second keyboard I'm discussing (the failed attempt at a partial screw mod) and screw modded it. A few screw holes didn't quite work out, but besides a single damaged spring that I need to replace, every key

Hello, is the MT3 Fairlane set still available?

I am looking for the Black Avant Stellar branded Northgate Omnikey. If you have one or have any leads on one please message me.

So you are saying that the manual provided the correct instructions to compile the utility that you wanted? If anything was no longer accurate or if any details were missing please write them in your reply so I can update the manual.
Regarding keeping all the code in one place, I have just messaged

Hello everyone.
I have an NMB RT101, restored by a friend of mine - another keyboard enthusiast like most here and bought from another friend.
My keyboard, when i got it was working perfectly, in fact, i really love this keyboard in every sense possible (well, let's forget the 2 key rollover that this

We are close to the one year mark of use of the Leyden Jar controller in the F122 keyboards, and I can confirm the good news that I have received no new Leyden Jar bug reports in the past few months! Here are the ideas for future updates of the Leyden Jar controller. Credit for the ideas goes to Rico,

The 5251 Beamspring has the same physical layout as an XT model F... so seems like if a user is used to the XT layout, it wouldn't be a stretch to use the 5251. And thanks to xwhatsit and his work, the keys can be mapped to anything. Chyrosran's video on the 5251 shows how to adjust power to each key

The difference is the switches: the actual mechanisms under the caps which you'll feel on every key-press. Read up / watch videos on keyboard switches and come back to us once you know what to ask about!
Look for a (Topre switch) Realforce review and a (buckling spring switch) Unicomp review, too. They

I recently came across an Weytec MK06 'batteship' keyboard. I did some reverse engineering of the firmware, and wrote weytool, which can be used to download/upload files from the keyboard. And of course it could also be used to delete unknown PINs in the keyboard. 8-)
I also started writing code for

No interest my friends?

I wish there was a simple way to just purchase a card like this.

Yes, heavier flippers will have higher momentum (even in friction less environment).
This higher momentum should displace PCB more (higher amplitude) but more slowly (lower frequency). That would be true if the flipper speed at the PCB impact corresponds to the resonant frequency of the PCB. Which is

In the off-chance that anyone sees this... I'm doing some research on the FK-555 -> Omnikey -> Avant lineage and the many posts about them here has been invaluable so far. Polecat, would you consider sharing your database of documented units? I can also add in the details from my 4 Omnikeys and

Other than a handful of 1970s-'80s IBM typewriters, I've NEVER found a good vintage keyboard at a thrift store (I live in one of the biggest metro areas in the US). So, the vintage keyboards (Model Fs, a 1985 Model M, other Model Ms, Cherry stuff) in my collection I've sourced either on eBay or through

Hey there, I'm wiriting this on a German ISO Keycat :)
Did someone manage to map the three C-Buttons on the upper left? Got a tinkerBOY DIN5 to USB adapter with Vial but these three buttons are not recognized.

Getting rather excited..!
