Title: Found some
Post by: OTD on Tue, 29 December 2015, 20:57:09
I found a pile of keyboards at an old relative's place. He had more but I did not want to take them all. Some are model M but several of the keyboards feel like cherry MX but they are all black on top and it isn't the regular cross mount for the cherry MX. I can take images of it tomorrow.

It all came free. How do I fix model M if they are not tactile anymore? It feels like it's just mush but it looks normal when I take a cap off.

Might need springs replaced, might need to be bolt modded.

Send it to you for free if you pay shipping but only if you will use it?

I'd be happy to take one off of your hands. Also I think I should have some extra springs and flippers if you need. I could do a bolt mod for you too if necessary. To back up my work, I haven't posted an image of my current project in progress but see below for a preview:

That's quite a haul!

How did your old relative come to have so many keyboards?

He recycles old computers. He even built his own system thinggy to separate precious metals from other components like chips and motherboards.
