2) Does the firmware support a MX Lock switch?

I'm pretty sure that's the updated firmware. Unless there's a newer version.
Two questions about the Leeku 1800 PCB:1) Is this the only firmware or is there an updated one?2) Does the firmware support a MX Lock switch?
You would need firmware if you wanted to use the MX lock as a toggle-able caps lock though, but that's it. Whether the Leeku supports a function layer is another question..

Retrobright's effect on black plastic.Hopefully it doesn't act like bleach and black shirts.That might turn into a new thing though. Surely someone would like it.

anyone knows if there would be any problem with the black color?! Doesn't make much sense as I've done retrobright in classic beige doubleshots and the black lettering remained perfect.

I'd like to use the MX lock as a function layer on the 1800 for giggles. It was my understanding that the lock switch would need firmware support in order to do so. Think metalliqaz told me that? I probably should've been more specific.

I probably should've been more specific. If you want it to behave as a Caps Lock, you need to assign the Caps Lock switch to be a Shift key. Yes, I know that Caps Lock doesn't toggle !@#$ on the number row and Shift does, but since, as Photekq stated, MX Locks basically hold the key down. In order to get the Caps lock functionality, you'd need to set up the switch as a Shift, making it a Shift Lock. Otherwise, you would need firmware that only acknowledged the initial toggle and release and not the switch being held down.
why does my samurai sound like Japanese Batman?
If you want it to behave as a toggled function key, you would just program it to act as a momentary function key and the switch just holds itself down.Am I misinterpreting what you're trying to do, CBA?
what's one step up from mx reds

Or was my confusion not implied too? I think you want 62g springs.Quote from: BlueBär on Sun, 19 October 2014, 06:04:11Quote from: Dubsgalore on Sun, 19 October 2014, 06:03:30what korean spring is a tad heavier then mx reds? i forgot 62g-65g.Last time you asked, BlueBär suggested this.
#gold springs would be a step up.
Will a 1390636 Model M work with the average modern PC with a DIN5->PS/2 adapter?
Quote from: wes1099 on Thu, 06 November 2014, 15:04:16Will a 1390636 Model M work with the average modern PC with a DIN5->PS/2 adapter?Does the board have the DIN5 connector or the RJ45 connector? RJ45 will look like a telephone cable plug. If it has the DIN5 connector, you can use the adapter as you said. If it has the RJ45, you'll need to convert it. A Soarer converter is popular for this and supposedly it's very easy. I haven't tried it myself though so I can't speak to the ease of the mod first hand.
I thought all 1390636's had the DIN5 connector (all of the ones I have found on the internet were DIN5). The seller does not actually have a picture showing the connector so I will send him a message.

These are some pics of the model M that I am looking at. $32 untested and sold as is. Is it worth?Show ImageShow Image

Is it worth?Show ImageShow ImageI still can't tell 100% what cable that is but it *doesn't* look like the RJ45 connector. If it is Din5, and that price is with shipping, it's not a bad price.
Now that I look closely, I actually think that it is DIN5. The RJ-45 cable is flatter and the DIN5 cable is rounder.
Quote from: wes1099 on Thu, 06 November 2014, 15:33:52Now that I look closely, I actually think that it is DIN5. The RJ-45 cable is flatter and the DIN5 cable is rounder.I agree. That's why I said I don't think it's RJ45. But I'm not sure if the terminals came in another connection nor can I 100% confirm it's the DIN5 cable.
Well, I just bought it. I hope it is a DIN5 connector, but if not I can fix that. It appears to be in good condition, so I think it should work. Hopefully all of the switch mechanisms are in working condition too. What do you think?
Just to clarify, if I use a DIN5 to PS/2 adapter, will the keys do what they do on a normal keyboard? For example, will the SetUp/Attn key work like ESC, and will the ALT key were control normally is work like a control key?

I don't imagine it's actually Alt. The key was probably missing, and he replaced it with something else. Isn't that key usually Send, or something like that, on a terminal M?

just curious not weabo )what mouse premium japanyeah like other stuff artisan,topre.etc
that's hair bleach containing Terpene, not just plain and simple liquid H202+oxi used for retrobright... so my doubt maintains
The oldest Model Ms came with a black coiled cable and "AT-style" (aka large DIN) connector on the computer side and a removable SDL connection at the back of the keyboard.Later incarnations had a removable SDL-to-PS/2 cable, and after about 1993 they went to a permanent PS/2 cable.Terminals came with a dizzying array of odd connectors that would not plug into the back of a conventional PC. The earliest ones had the large 240 degree DIN plugs, then 180 degree DIN plugs, then "RJ45"-like connectors (actually 6P6C).The brilliant Soarer made them all work beautifully with a Teensy.

I have heard that the 1390636 is compatible with modern PCs, is this true if it is in fact a terminal board?This is what it looks like:Show ImageShow Image
