Hello,

to let me be categorised easily: I am a Model M guy ;-) Got from a Cherry G80-1000 as my first knowingly mechanical keyboard over clicky G80's finally to the Model M :-) I currently use a 122 key type retrofitted with an USB PCB using a modified version of clee's rump.

If anyone is interested, software and schematics are on http://const-iterator.de/rump122

Welcome to the forum!

I have a 122-key terminal model I'm planning to convert to USB.  Your linked resources are interesting, I have only seen the Teensy mod for this keyboard.

Mnemonic did a rump-esque controller replacement for the M and 122 M a while back, it's not too bad. I tried it out at the time.
  It's a bit more work to assemble the parts and solder them up, but if you breadboard first, to test, it'll be straightforward.
The project is pre-disk-hell on the server, so the thread is in the archives and doesn't have working pics anymore, though. :(

Enjoy - I wish everyone took the time to put together their own controller. :)
  So many things about the keyboard become more clear in there: exactly how the matrix works, debounce, USB descriptors, etc...
