i found my old Model F 5150



not my pic, but this exact layout. mine looks great, practically new. wired it up to an ardunio for a q&d test and looks like it still works great.
what have you people done to me

probably going to write my own arduino code for this thing because i need a new nerd project.

you can hook it up to a modern computer with a Soarer's Converter

and how is that any fun to build mmmm smart guy? plus i kinda want to get it up and running for usb, then maybe try to convert it up to wireless. theres a ton of empty space in the case, i could cram a giant f-off battery in there, maybe include a switch for multiple pcs

Notorious b.s.d. posted:

what would the converter even be for?

is a 5150 DIN not pin-compatible with the AT DIN ?

nope.

apparently there are 'AT' and 'XT' keyboards, typical ibm means they both use 5 pin DIN. AT is pin-compat with modern ps/2, XT is some kind of moonspeak that requires an active converter. they are unidirectional too, so no lock indicator lights on mine

update:

i found a couple of solid looking arduino examples i might crib from, and i bought a knock-off leo (atmega32U4) from amazon
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012FOV17O/
this might end up being cheaper than the AT -> PS2 -> USB bits i bought from microcenter (yes, my time is quite worthless)

wow thats pricey

i like the buckling springs in the model f i got up and running but it is loud af and either i keep it here and my family kills me or i take it to work and my coworkers kill me. also the weird layout is hard to get used to.

whats a good, quiet starter mech keyboard? are brown/clear switches the way to go for quiet typing?

sup, OUTEMU

the layout is good, i esp like that they put fn on the right instead of cramming it into the bottom left corner like a bunch of mfgs do. p suspicious of the quality of this bpard tho; pls report back to this thread and update with same

its well reviewed on amazon, most of the complaints are around the keycap font (which isn't great) but for $40 i figure it cant be that bad

i have this board with cherry browns. it's totally fine, great deal when i got it for 70 off amazon. i got some pbt caps and its perfect since i love arrow keys. no complaints.

yeah so far its ok. idk if it's the offbrand browns or the keycaps but it's kinda louder than i had hoped. other than that its a good lil keyboars.

moved back to an open office space, coworkers vetoed the model m after 35 minutes and it has received an official eviction notice

at least i got bribed to ease the pain:



reqs:
- must be fairly silent
- vintage preferred, modern tolerated
- backlit not desired
- tenkey critical
- ps/2 preferred
- winkey optional, but appreciated

something with browns or clears should fit the bill nicely

Seconding the Quiet Pro. Just got mine a few weeks ago. It feels loving great, rock solid, and might be quieter than even rubber domes. It doesn't do full nkro, but it has way more that 6kro even over usb. I can smash both hands and get maybe 10-12 keys before it starts ghosting. The key font also has a retro feel, like a 1991 IIgs or something
