New post [Keyboards] Kinda curious: What makes Alps so sensitive to dust?

I've had lots of Alps keyboards. I've no had problems with binding or sticking. Upstroke click, yes. Scratchy, yes. I've seen other people demonstrate binding. I just can't replicate it.
I can say that the older Alps switches don't feel that consistent to me. I've had some blue/green/orange Alps

New post [Workshop] Model M with a single non-working key

Hi! I have a model M lying around I got from someone. It's a clean IBM blue badge one and its looks to be in a perfect state. Apart from one thing that is; the left CRTL key does not register. ALL other keys work fine. I've tried to reseated the key, but the action works like all the others, also it

New post [Workshop] ADDS ASCII in ADDS Mode

Very interesting and clever project. I'd describe most of my keyboard projects as brute force trying **things**, seeing an led blink, and trying to figure out what I just did. Somehow I've never fried a board yet. Anyway, my point is I'm glad to see a pro like yourself sometimes finds himself in a similar

New post [Gallery] Northgate 101I

I've seen the "BBC" and "Designed in the U.S.A." on other Northgates. No Focus markings or inspection labels on this one, or on any Gen2 Northgate I've seen. This is a Gen2 Vendor 333 board, like all (so far) 101I and 101N examples, Some Gen1 Northgate 102s were identified as Vendor 111, which was

New post [Keyboards] ABS-cased Model M keyboards?

Thanks. So it sounds like something was afoot at Greenock in 1986. The part number of my top case is 1387194, and other marks inside say 4759, DN3255, and a date wheel showing April 86, a couple of months before the date on the back label.
Incidentally, while the upper case is similar to that of my

Light is good. My favourite Topre weight remains the uniform 30g Realforce I tried at Hataa’s place long ago. Didn’t exactly have long with it (you can just imagine that tour!) but it immediately struck me as ooooh niiiiice! in the way “extra-tactile” 55g never did. Always been meaning to get
