[Justblair]

I finally got this project not only working, but written up somewhat on my website... I think this may be unique, though probably for good reason...

That RFID reader is extremely cool!

[snoopy]

Lowrider!

But what switches does it have??

[CPTBadAss]

Wait, didn't you do this on another keyboard as well? I swear I've seen this elsewhere.

Regardless, that's awesome

[BunnyLake]

game changer

[tipo33]

Wow, I love the sound with it too.  lol.

You have seen one of the early tests of this keyboard. At that point I had not yet installed the capacitive sensing or RFID features

I thought someone did it with a model F?

YES, It was you!!. That is amazing that you followed through and improved the design!


Also on a slightly off-topic note. I click on the link under your profile to go to your website. Your link doesn't work. It points to:

Ok so hey at least I almost remembered correctly

So there was not an IBM?  Phew...

[Justblair]

But what switches does it have??

Cherry Blues... Seems to be the only choice for this keyboard and a UK layout

Just the terminal M you restored

But seriously....I distinctly remember someone posting a model F with feet that actuated, because they had the gray tabs that stuck out on the sides.

Well it is PCB Mount so easy enough to swap stems/springs 

[Justblair]

Yep I have been looking at the thread where you can make ghetto blues by gluing the two part stem together.  I am not that keen on the noise.  The click is two high pitched, I prefer my Filco with browns over the Cherry with blues.   

The Model M has a better sound altogether!

You mean jailhouse blues? You can also use an oring or small piece of plastic.
