Hello people, I'm new to the forum, despite I have lurked as a guest since a long time.
My name's Enzo, I'm from Italy, and I'm a huge fan of vintage hardware, especially if it allows me to use it both on old and new platforms. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a device made in the 80's work on a modern computer.
Keyboard wise, I only have two models at the moment: a Chicony KB-5181 with white Alps switches and a BTC 5060XT foam and foil 84 keys keyboard I currently have plugged into my retro PC, a Pentium 3.
My dream would be to find a quality 84 keys keyboard or even using a real XT keyboard on that PC, as I pretty much got used to its layout, and works well for my setup.
I also love vintage mice, the old serial ones from the 80's make me drool all over the place when I see them.
Mouse wise I have three, all serial: a cheap Trust three button mouse from the early 90's, a 1987 Logitech 82-9F I use on my laptop with a usb to serial adapter and a Genius GM-6000 three button mouse I have on my Pentium 3.
I'm very glad to have found this place, I thought I was the only one who wanted to use what in my family call "e-trash" on my systems. To me, they are wonderful pieces of equipment and way better than most modern devices I used so far.
Thank you for welcoming me!
