Title: IBM Model F 122(124) key detachable cable mod
Post by: EDI on Fri, 26 February 2016, 05:59:14

Here's some pictures of my modded IBM model F 122 key keyboard. I have added detachable cable to it and two extra keys to numpad.

Detachable cable was done by adding mini usb extension cable inside the keyboard.

I have thought about doing the cable extension myself, but never got around to it.

My numpad is important and I don't want to change it, but I LOVE those division sign and "x" caps instead of slash and asterisk!
