If you had one like halvars or monster toys, you could use the power button on the keyboard to turn your tv on!

the ones with the big buttons are my favourite

Yeah the one that larryniven has is the nicest.

Really want to know what contacts he has in china...

Here is my SSK which I use at work since about a year in its natural habitat. Don't judge our funky cable management!





It fits just perfect:

Stop sending me pics of red buckling spring artisan caps!

Beautiful pics Madhias!

Thanks! I thought about a server room session for a long time, and today I found some free time to make a fast shooting. It is our server room, which is now way too big, since everything runs now on VMware vSphere, two servers, some storages and enclosures, a firewall, a spam firewall, a switch, and that's it.

On the last pic is the place where the Compaq G80-11900 was which I used for a keyboard customizing session.

very nice pictures

Very nice pics but why do you have an artisan cap on a board that just sits in a server room? :/

It doesn't just sit there...It's getting used there! And I guess it's a controlled environment, so it's not going anywhere!

Nice! How many people asked 'what does the roboter key do?'

Haha, the roboter key! Actually the keyboard is used two floors down, and everything is done remotely. Up there is just a DELL rubberdome, because I took the Compaq with Cherry MX Browns with me

With redundant air conditioning!

It fits just perfect:

ooo what rack-mount try is that I WANT ONE! I need a second SSK then when i move on from my current job i can leave it in the rack, whoever notices how awesome the SSK in the rack is get the job.

Rack mount is likely why the industrial SSK's exist, they fit perfect in those trays.

I suppose I can post my SSK's.

Lexmark 1397961 SSK


IBM 1392934 SSK



There are a lot more pictures at http://snowdog993.imgur.com/
Enjoy!

Here's mine

1991 SSK restored by Phosphorglow with his custom controller, and USB-B input.

Nice! I had phosphorglow restore mine too! I stuck with the stock controller though because for some reason I like the way the coiled cable looks.

I guess I forgot to mention Phosphorglow on those pictures. Shame on me! He did both of my SSK's and several other keyboards I have. I believe the Imgur album gives him a bit of PR there. Take a look!

He does great work, he'll get all of my future model m's.

Thanks. Yeah he does top notch work. I probably would have just went with the stock controller if the one in this board didn't need to be replaced. I do like having the USB-B input though

Pretty sure the custom controller is programable also. I did not know I wanted that until I started using my HHKB, now I really want caps lock to be control. I can just use autohotkey though, just gotta figure out how to use it.

Yeah, it's programmable. I usually don't need programability in a TKL, but it's still nice to know it's there if I do.

That's a nice bro cap as well, hopefully I can grab one for mine in the upcoming sale.

Another picture of my SSK, this time on a doka plate.



The caps are only for the picture, I could not use it without legends though.

Very nice. Tell us about that cable:
Pexon?
How long is it?
PS/2 or USB?
What?
When?

Cool ... drool

At least you have some differently colored cables. I have a setup akin to yours, but the cables are all yellow!

We are moving to a new office in about 2 months, to an as our boss says "sexy" office. There we will have better cable management, let's see how long it will be like that then! We don't have a big setup, a big switch, some small switches, a small vSphere environment with about 15 servers on two ESX servers, SAN, some enclosures, and soon also a VDI!

It's really a nice cable from Pexon, color is copperhead with a techflex carbon sleeving, maybe a little bit too short, it is 2ft long/short - but goes then directly to the hub of the screen, so no big deal. USB! I made a rather... creative USB mod, with a Teensie.

Reminds me that my blank keycaps for my SSK are in California with Mu's brother
