Turn off the computer. Put the switch into a different setting. Power back on. Try that till you've exhausted all options.

(The powering off is because PS/2 is * not * hot-swappable. If you treat it like a modern connector, you can fry your computer.)

Old keyboard controllers can break. (It's ...

So I think the keyboard may be not functional unfortunately

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I didn't mean to say USB. It seems to be a 5 pin din connector and I'm using a ps2 adapter. There is no USB involved lol.


The Monterey/Mtek K104 does not have internal USB support. So you'll need an active converter rather than just a pin adapter. I'd recommend a Soarers. I ...

I recently acquired one of these keyboards in pretty good shape, it has switch with A X and S mode. I assume I want to keep it in A mode. However, I am using an adapter to plug it into a USB port and it doesn't appear to be working. Any advice?

I really wanna try these out

Love that tiny key under the spacebar.

Dear all,

I finally received today the steel plate from our friends at lasergist, and unfortunately there was some damage which probably occurred in the mailstream. As you can see despite the potato quality of this picture, the plate is quite warped.

He got me into the hobby, especially into vintage boards.

Super informative and entertaining reviews.

IBM Model M and Cherry G80 for starting it all.

EnjoyPBT Cherry Profile PBT Dyesubs

Whether it's their cyan/magenta Hangul legends, or their black/red Cyrillic legends, these keycaps are super popular and very classy looking.

The tada68 kit that comes with really nice dyesub cherry profile keycaps, an option for an aluminum case, and a very useful yet compact layout.

Super popular and very affordable board that has probably gotten many people into DIY keyboard projects.

KAILH clickbar for finally making a really nice modern clicky switch.


XMIT and his MX compatible hall effect boards having success on massdrop.

Tai hao for making cheap popular Doubleshot sets that get people into the hobby.

The HHKB, i dont like it personally but it's iconic

Alps SKCM Blue, one of (if not the best) best sounding switches

Hey, since your the first person i think of when i think of "keyboard expert," i figured I could ask you for a bit of help.

I want to put kailh box switches into a cherry g80, which is PCB mounted, and the kailh box switches exclusively come in plate mount housings.

oh thats unfortunate, so I would need to find a board with at least 16 I/O pins

Sorry, brainfart. I mean usable PINS, not keys. I think there was discussion in the thread about the number of pins, but can't find it.
So the power for all of them would come from the VCC, and all the inputs would be, if its 14 inputs, up to 14 squared which is 196 keys?
that doesnt make sense ...

14? that can't be all can it?

Wodan wrote: Thank Scottc, he did all the research

Another quick question if you know the answer, since this has about 18 usable pins, from my basic grasp, does that mean a keyboard matrix could use 9*9=81 possible inputs/keys, or does that mean it would be able to accept 18*18=alot of possible keys.

ah. thank you so much

I recently cut apart an AT101W in order to make a 61 key keyboard, but I was wondering if this

would be a viable alternative to the Teensy.

Thanks for the help in advance

Its a cherry ml4100, I assume it's AT?
