An Xwhatsit controller for my IBM 5251 beam spring. Though I still need to clean the keycaps and the case.

I have to say, Monterey Blues are sexy.

I'll update with shots of my Model F once it's all cleaned up.

Nice haul man! I want an AEKII just for those switches.

Yeah I agree. I still like the orange but the cyan does go with a lot of different sets. It even looks nice with the retro set kind of reminds me of the color blue they'd use for mainframe in the early days kind of like this.

Yeah, they won't wear for a long time since they're less frequently used. Everything's doubleshot except the windowed caps.

And the IBM Model F AT (5170) pics I promised.

From this:

To this:

It cleaned up real nice and is in good condition under all that grime. There was some tiny bits of rust on the top plate, but most of it came off with a rust remover. I can see why people really love these keyboards though. It has more heft to it than a Model M and feels sturdier to type on than a Model M.

Sitting here with both the Realforce and the HHKB and they feel pretty similar. The Realforce's keys feel a bit more rigid, and they sound a bit more dampened. I just wish there was an HHKB with a function row and the backspace in the normal position.

I must be the only one that thinks they feel different then. RF boards feel a lot smoother IMO. I want a 55G hhkb with rf topres. That's my dream board.

esoomenona · « **Reply #11649 on:** Tue, 03 September 2013, 14:29:44 »

I've never tried a 45g Realforce, but the 55g and the HHKB are really different. I personally prefer the HHKB by far. I would really like to try a 55g HHKB though. Perhaps I might have to cannabalize this thing to do just that...
