A fine handcrafted artisan keyboard will have irregularities like that. Much like the impurities contained in the best diamonds or the artificial smoke flavoring added to Laphroaig, that's what makes it worth buying.

hand tremors and a somewhat forced perspective can gently caress up stuff like that, i usually keep an elbow on a flat surface or something while taking a picture but i had to freehand it here

 maxkey is now setup to run custom legends new set on zfrontier, a few things before the reveal: - the colors are... loud and weird - they've stopped bundling the weird cherry novelties like they've been doing for a while, it's a new set of theme appropriate novs - per the render. i think the set should have the same redundancies as mine - it's $10 more than mine, presumably because of the novelties - no idea why this isn't green - turn around is getting shorter with a 2 month target cycle this time maxkey sa nuclear   https://en.zfrontier.com/products/maxkey-sa-nuclear

So for secret santa I got a Kaypro 2000 and I really want to try and use the keyboard. Here's what it looks like:  It apparently uses Cherry MX Black key switches   About all the information I can find comes from https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/vintage-kaypro-2000-keyboard-cherry-mx-blacks-t11976.html the keyboard basically detaches:   I'd really like to use it, I was hoping I could just wire up a teensy to the cable that it comes with but have no idea where to start.

got another nearly pristine Apple Extended Keyboard II (Made in Japan) a couple days ago and cleaned it up to use on my other system at work other than the space bar pads having melted and made the space bar stick (I just removed them, it's fine) the keyboard really seems to have never been exposed to UV—it's still pristine Apple Platinum and with its Mitsumi key switches it feels wonderful, just like both of my other Made in Japan models, and distinctively nicer than my Alps damped models also since the Macintosh 12-inch RGB Display atop the Mac LC it came with had a manufacture date of May 1991, I expect the keyboard is around 26 years old and probably spent over 20 of those years in storage (along with the monitor and ADB mouse and StyleWriter, none of which were yellowed at all and all of which work) eschaton fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jun 16, 2017 |

do you actually have an AEK II, or do you have an AppleDesign Keyboard? because the latter are mushy because they're rubber dome; the AEK II uses real Alps (or in my case Mitsumi) key switches and are definitely clicky

if you've ever wanted to kick a start, input club is running a white fox batch over there instead of the usual massdrop & co https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lekashman/whitefox-mechanical-keyboard  not my cup of tea, but i figure a couple of you might be down for this. 60%ish, halo switches, pbt caps, layers & a not bad case.
