I wonder when or if this phrase "made to last" will fade into existence...

Saw this on qwertykeys.com and it gave me a good chuckle because I am a child.

I want to build my own corne wireless but I cannot finish the whole list of componentes. Do you have the whole list of componentes for you setup? It's just beautiful.

This should be a great traveling keyboard I recon.
Well done on the build and great choice of keycaps.

"Weird typing machine" because it's an English ISO? :P

Pictured from top-to-bottom:
Top: "Apple Keyboard" - aka the Apple Standard Keyboard. This was the smaller / lower-priced optional keyboard released in 1987 at the same time as the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II. Note the large weird key above the number row - that's the Power key, which could power on (or put to sleep) Macs from this era, a very handy feature which I wish still existed! You may notice that the "P" key is crooked - I recently found this keyboard under an e-waste pile, and it seems that this one key got crunched, so I'm going to take it all apart and see if I can repair the ALPS keyswitch (or just replace it).
Middle: "Apple Extended Keyboard" - aka the AEK. This was the bigger / higher-priced optional keyboard released in 1987 at the same time as the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II. Note that the Power key is still present, but has been relocated to the top-right spot. Originally priced at $229 in 1987 dollars, which equates to over $600 today!
Bottom: "Apple Extended Keyboard II" - aka the AEKII. The AEKII was Apple's final mechanical keyboard, before they fully converted to less complex / less expensive "rubber dome" mechanisms. The AEKII is (in my semi-humble opinion) the finest mechanical keyboard ever made by a major brand. It feels incredible to type on, makes a pleasing (but not overly-loud!) click-clack sound, and lacks the brutal aesthetics found in comparable IBM keyboards from the 80's and 90's. I've been buying AEKII's whenever I've seen them pop up over the years (e-waste places, yard sales, etc.), and with some ADB-to-USB adapters, I now have a literal lifetime supply of these and use them regularly with both vintage and modern computers. Highly recommended!

maybe you could replace the stand-off screw things from the case with longer ones to make some space below the pcb. Sadly it would be less low profile

They are the ones made for the Thera, you can get them on Create Keebs site.

I own a few of their cables and am perfectly happy with them. The smaller cable makers really need to rethink their order process-- the long forms with a million options that show NO PHOTOS of what you're selecting is a huge turnoff. Their product looks great but will mine?
Anyway, good on them for shipping out free cables. Good press is good press.

Cherry originally did this to their blue switches. If you want to imorove blues, jailhouse mod is the way.
