I almost forgot about this one

Hooray, mine came today!

Such an adorable little keyboard! So old and yet so new. And NOS white Alps aren't half bad I must say.

Thanks chzel!

O.o, can't wait

Mine came in today as well! Thank you, chzel!

Ooh, I didn't think they'd been sent yet. This is exciting!

you get my payment ok ? Is it on the way ?

Hey guys, sorry for no updates, it's been quite busy the last couple of weeks, and getting the boxes to the post office on a motorcycle is an exercise in patience!
So far 3 "batches" have been sent, in total 16 packets. The rest hopefully should be going out by the end of the week.
I'm sorry for the delays, I hope the wait is worth it!

Andy your's was on the first batch, along with Halvar's and Nuum's, so it should be there any day now.

Don't apologise chzel, you're doing us all a big favour! Has mine gone out yet, by any chance? I'm away next week and it would be really nice if it happened to arrive before I left.

While you're at it, I would love a status update as well. I am moving house and might need to tell my roommates to accept the package for me.

EDIT: Thanks

Received mine today. What a cutie! Thanks, chzel!

Looks like mine has arrived, too. Not yet at home to unpack it... Thanks chzel!

I'm going to assume mine is a week or more away. Looking forward to it.

Ludovician your was on the first batch, but you are across the world...So a week or so is a good guestimate.

does anyone have an idea why the shift keys might not get registered under windows. yes, i'm typing on it right now... also, caps lock is not working and doesn't even light up while num lock, scroll lock etc. are working fine.

i'm using an at to ps/2 adapter...

Did you reboot? Since PS/2 is not hot-plug.

I did. Other boards are working fine, even via AT plugged into PS/2 plugged into USB...

Dead switches?

I doubt that left shift, right shift and caps lock are dead in a new keyboard I guess it's some incompatibility somewhere...

Mine arrived yesterday. Thanks chzel. It is freaky and I like it a lot.

I also got my keyboard today and thanks for arranging this group buy Now I'll just have to get an adapter to actually type on this. Switches are actually quite nice.


EDIT1. I took a picture, it seems I have several small dents just in front of my space bar but they don't really bother me:

Just received mine as well. It's pretty nice. Thanks, chzel

Btw, are these AT or XT?

AT.

Also, uhh... damn.

The switches might have corroded somewhat after sitting all this time unused. Try pressing the dead switches a few dozen/hundred times and see if they start working.

Good to hear AT, bad to hear about the switches. Anyone know a good source of AT/PS2 converters for cheap? I have a Soarer AT/USB but I'd rather save it for XT boards.

I'm also trying to figure out why some of my keys aren't working but with multimeter I can see that electricity is coming through (..until it stops somewhere). I'm not sure does this have something to do with a firmware I'm on with my teensy clone though. I also tried to re-solder some switches and see if it does something but I was unable to make magic to happen. I guess it would be nice to share our experiences so we can try to find the culprit here. It might be just some corrosion what was mentioned in the previous post. I'm sure this can be fixed so I'm quite happy with my board

Mine came in today looking good, thanks again for making this GB happen! Cheers.

For me it's both shift and control keys that are not working... Everything else came to life once I deactivated some custom key mappings

I can confirm that the switches themselves are working...

Hey,

I received mine today :


Thank a lot Chzel
