Hi I'm new and also have a problem
« on: Fri, 17 November 2023, 13:10:40 »
Hi I'm Chris

So it all started with a cheap blackwidow with mx blue switches, then some mx black as my co workers hated the noise.

Then I found a few model M boards at a local auction



and now I've found a even older IBM 3277

Welcome to geekhack :)

I wish I was you and hit the jackpot like that.

How much did you pay for that?

I love that you went from MX cherry blues that your coworkers complained about because of the noise

And then went for the nuclear option and got IBM buckling spring/beam spring

You should add a solenoid and bring it to work  :cool:
