This is my second build. I used a TKC1800 pcb and plate with Kailh BOX pale blue switches (and a few cherry switches) in a Cherry G80-1851 case. For the bottom row I used a keycap set from Glorius PC Gaming Race because the original caps didn't fit. I also installed an Amphenol Mini USB jack on the ...

I am not saying that Unicomp makes bad keyboards, quite the contrary, but the build quality is different from IBM Model Ms. Even Lexmark Model Ms are different from IBM Model Ms and neither Lexmark nor Unicomp Model Ms are in fact bad keyboards.

I absolutely love my 1986 Model M. The typing feels great but it feels quite different from Cherry MX and clones. I wouldn't jump into buying one without trying it out first. Unicomp still builds Model Ms. They use the original machines to produce their modern version but the quality is not exactly ...

I have a silver badge Model M. I used this keyboard for years as my daily driver and it still works perfect. That keyboard is almost 35 years old.

Thanks for your answer.

I am looking for an MX Lock switch for a build.

Pretty sure you have that backwards, definitely if it's running QMK and I expect so as well if it's TMK. +5V → LED → resistor → Teensy is how I have my QMK numpad wired - the target Teensy pin acts as a sink, not a source. LED and resistor can be in either order, whichever's easier to wire ...

Yes, I am sure I used the right board and I soldered them to the right pins. I accidently used the wrong board once and the whole keyboard didn't work at all because of that.

Hi,

I have built my own keyboard and all keys work, I am actually typing this post on it, but I can't get the LEDs to work. I have an AVR Arduino Board AT90USB1286 U Disk TE502, which I got from ebay, and bought blue LEDs. After some research I have bought 150 Ohm resistors. I am pretty sure that I ...

Thx. I just ordered the parts from Matias.

My plan is to pull the dell keycaps and see if the Matias caps fit. I think I will use the Matias caps as far as they go and use the Dell caps where the Matias won't fit and paint all of them. I ordered black blank keycaps anyway.

Thx.

Hi,

I want to rebuild an Dell AT102W with Matias switches and would love to use Matias blank keycaps on it. Do the keycaps and stabilizers fit on an Alps Bigfoot switch plate?
