Interest Checks / Re: [IC] KCH Blue Screen

I would love alt alphas with distorted/glitched legends. Would fit the novelties nicely and for the sub 40s/ergo crowd alt alphas with novelties are often enough.

Yeah, this hits. If this was ABS, I'd be all over it. GLWIC!

Thank you! For this to be ABS it would have to be either SUPER expensive or full uv printed, kinda hard to do.

UK in base, please?

It's usually viable for monocolour sets. I would like it here.

Kitting definitely still gonna change, I got a lot of asks for norde so that kit will probably be made as well  :thumb:

I'd recommend checking out online keyboard enthusiast stores and forums to see what Dvorak sets they currently have in stock or on the horizon.

As it appears everybody involved has died in a terrible plane crash. Or so, I don't know.

I registred several weeks back and haven't heard anything. Last update of the site was back in march.

My question is:
May I post my IC on r/mk, without getting smashed with the ban hammer, even tough my registration on the MK Vendor Trust and Safety System has not yet been confirmed?

I mean it's only an IC. I'm not (yet) asking for people's money.

Sorry! I got super busy, but I am currently planning on launching this in about a month from today!

Making Stuff Together! / Re: TMK IBM PC Keyboard Converter

307748-0Hi! Long time no see 🙏
I can't seem to get the new IBM firmware working at all on my pro micros, is there any way for it to work? Do I need higher resistance pull-ups? Does it even lift? 😂

Your firmware for ADB keyboards work fine but apparently I couldn't ever get the PS/2 side of things working :(

I have 2K worth of resistors per clock and data and even an extra cap on the VCC to ground line. Should I put an inductor between VCC and the supply line to the keyboard, so the pro micro has enough voltage to boot first?

Or am I missing something simple? The J1 pin is soldered, and all the soarer type conversions I've made work perfectly fine.

Keyboard lock LEDs light up and turn off, but the listener software catches no keystrokes at all. I would use the v1 firmware if it worked with the 5576, but that doesn't really have any chance with any other converter 🤔

Any chance you'd consider moving the character to the left side of the mat?

Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?

The KB hobby is still very much in its infancy.   Eventually, high end models will emerge (just look at the 6 and 7 figure watches, 5 figure pens, for example), coffee table books will produced, Christy auctions...  I'm sure when Norbauer launches his 3-figure stabilizers. most will roll their eyes, but the whales will salivate.   Within 5 years their will be a 5-figure keyboard in market, if one does not already exist.  Based on other obscure hobbies I follow there is still a lot of upside in this hobby and mint condition vintage boards will become crazy expensive.

Now that is an interesting tought. It's really just a matter of time, until a billionaire like some oil sheikh will demand a luxury KB.

This already exists. The price of OG Korean Kustoms already are in the mid 4 figures for just the case/plate,etc. Some artisans go for mad money as well. There are also countless videos on Youtube where someone is making a $5000 custom keyboard for <insert person>.

And we are in the infancy stages of the hobby in the way of nothing is "vintage" yet. Look up the price of an air cooled Porsche 911 in 2004. They were affordable. That same 911 is now worth 10X or more because enough collectors got together and bought up the market and now they are unobtainable to a large swath of drivers. I expect OG and very special run keyboards will command a premium that will never make sense. Same with keycaps. Looking at vintage Signature Plastic sets, most sets are in the low hundreds if not lower in amounts of sets. I have had private DMs for my SA Camping set. Well above the purchase price I made in 2017.

I won't ever sell my set, but similar to vinyl pressed in 2004 there are only a few hundred in the wild and 80% of people don't know what they have and the other 20% don't want to give it up. How many people got into the hobby, build their board(s) and left the online hobby of Keyboards?

honestly I feel that we will be on the cusp on how "premium" keyboards will get imo. I don't think we'll ever get to a point where 10k keyboards are even a rarity. Also a lot of the prices are going down on a lot of things, with very few things retaining their value from the pandemic where things were at their highest. I don't think the hobby is as sustainable as cars because a lot less people are into keyboards than they are cars. Unless we get another global pandemic soon I don't think it's gonna get to that point.
