[SOLD][US] IBM Model F AT Layout
« on: Sun, 14 December 2014, 16:18:16 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Model-F-AT-Keyboard-Buckling-Spring-RARE-Mechanical-/261701258839?

I purchased this off of ebay a month ago but I'm not too big a fan of the layout. The only changes I made to the original was washing the keycaps with the denture tablet method. It works with my AT to PS/2 Converter. If you have any further questions, ask away.

The price on ebay is $140+Shipping, if you want to purchase through GeekHack and avoid ebay fees, I will give you a discount.SOLD

What are your issues with the layout?  The layout can be changed up fairly easily.

The main issue was that I don't get F11 or F12 keys, but the split backspace and unstandard bottom row also didn't bode well for me.

I plan to do the mod to totally fix my bottom row, along with Backspace and Enter, but it is not a trivial undertaking.

About function keys, I always set the left F10 to "Windows" since I never use F10 anyway. I do use F11, often, and would probably reset F9 to F11 if I did not have upper function keys.

What does F12 do, anyway?

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

At 76 posts (currently) you're about to become a real geekhacker. mOd yours and get the ANSO return or whatever you want! I modded mine... and don't use it. BUt it was an awesome experience.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
