]]> Comment on Das Keyboard Model M by MikeCase00 http://www.sigonlegacy.com/?p=40#comment-210 MikeCase00 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 22:18:52 +0000 http://www.sigonlegacy.com/?p=40#comment-210 I called Unicomp, who manufactures replacement parts and repairs IBM Model M boards, last month to see if I could purchase a set of replacement black with white lettering keys as found on the black M-13 trackpoint keyboard (these would also fit regular Model Ms). I was informed that they do not make the black keys/ key caps anymore since they were about $10 more per set to make. There are still several companies that will produce custom replacement caps that will fit the Model M (mostly used for POS shortcut keys), but I figure it would be very expensive to have one run a single set of the standard 101 keys since they seem to be geared to producing many units of a single customized key. Anyway, might be worth looking into.

It seemed to flake off quite a bit with prolonged use and I could easily scratch it off with a fingernail. Oh well. I was only out 69 dollars and it gave me a chance to use vinyl dye for the first time. I'm going to be calling UniComp soon to see if I can get a black keyboard with black keycaps. I was reading on a few other sites that they were able to do that, though that was well over a year ago now. Unfortunately, the vinyl dye didn’t hold up as well as I thought it would.

I bought several colors of <a href="http://www.duplicolor.com/products/vinyl.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> and am wondering if this is the right stuff to do my Model M up right. I, too, bought my Model M new from Unicomp...however, it is the Model M 84-key space saver (see <a href="http://geekhack.org/viewtopic.php?t=70&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=" rel="nofollow">here</a> for details). Pictures are available <a href="http://geekhack.org/viewtopic.php?t=71" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I'm really going back and forth as to whether I want to paint or not. Hearing some good reports with the dye will certainly help me make a decision. :) I’m very much interested in how your vinyl dye job is holding up.

Essentially that means that when you move, the mouse responds sooner. Also, 8ms delay equates into 12.5 refreshes a second, so I believe your math to be incorrect, even if it is 125Hz that doesn't mean it refreshes 125 times per second. I think 500Hz is adequate for most games, however... I run my Logitech at 500Hz. But anyway... Good review.
