Dear the Tek Syndicate team,
Whats the situation with the keyboard reviewing? Is there any hope of me hearing beamspring, model f, gh60, or phantom ever mentioned on the show? I often contemplate buying a cherry mx compatible key cap from your store however not knowing if its abs, pbt or the build quality (ex. double shots, tripple shots) drives me nuts! I really think logan or wendell ought to do a review on any old custom 60% with lubed and dampend ergo clears. Infact I think Logan's only even reviewed stock mx boards has he not? Have you considered reviewing anything with matias alps switches? Ive seen you have quite a decent coverage of ibm model m keyboards but never discusses the plastic rivets poping or the restoration. Plus a model m certainly isnt THE ibm classic keyboard, just what came with everyone's ps/2's back in the day. THE ibm classic keyboard would be the model f or the beamspring with the honorable mention of the wheelwriter and other type writer keyboards. There's even the ibms with linear vintage t alps which us enthusiasts want to pretend do not exist because we hate linear. Or as Bobbby Boucher jr's mama would say,LINEAR IS THE DEVIL!
I really think www.phosphorglow.net deserves an Honorable mention. He truly is the best of the best when it comes to restoring ibm model m keyboards.I paid him myself to restore my keyboard and its likely the best $55 you will ever spend.
I would love if you guys talked about the micro controllers and pcb mfr's of the keyboards you review.
Have Wendell , Logan, Quain, or Pistol ever used a beamspring?
In short, Id like to know the tech specs, see you talk about custom stuff instead of premade things, And also cover the many many other options besides buying modern oem mush.
Thanks for reading! I hope I didn't over-nerd the post.
Also: is it possible we could make the tab key work while entering text on here?
