Modified ibm model m 122
« on: Mon, 16 July 2018, 19:55:20 »
Thought you guys might enjoy my modified ibm m 122. Converted to ANSI as well as "normal" keycaps, and some media controls on the left side. Internal soarers converter, and USB pass through on the rear. Also has lock lights taken out of a standard model m with white LEDs for num and caps lock (scroll lock I kept green as a power light).

How did you fit the LEDs and the LED overlay in the top case? There are no recesses for the overlay in the stock top case. I have also an M122 (with internal Soarers converter) where I want to install lock lights.

The overlay is just glued to the top of the case. I figured out where I wanted it positioned and drew up a template in solidworks to position it. Template also had marks for led holes. So I center punched and drilled them out. I them modeled two mounts to hold pcb under the case and 3d printed them
