    I've converted 3 Fujitsu LF keyboard recently: T111, T010 and Epson Q503A. It's not actual conversion but controller replacement. I've used Black Pill STM32 development board and QMK firmware.
    The whole procedure was quite easy: you don't have trace the whole PCB, just find rows/columns and use matrix debugging in QMK to find a position of each key in matrix.

    Nice switches make for a nice keyboard.
    It is a real shame that Thomas was not able to get it to work with standard converters. Did Sanyo computers have a non-standard interface? Or is it more likely that one or two components on the PCB need to be replaced, possibly some electrolytic capacitors? Those are often swapped out every eight years on industrial PCBs.

    I don't know why modern switch manufactures haven't adapted this design, it seems like it would be a relatively economical switch to produce, and it has a clear advantage to other designs in terms of smoothness.

  • @hjalfi
    @hjalfi 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wonder --- would it be feasible to weight a modern keyswitch by turning upside down and pouring resin into it? Or lead shot, maybe. Of course you'd have to make sure not to foul the mount, but on Cherry mounts the cross-shaped socket is usually on a stalk, so there'd be lots of space. Would this improve the sound any?

  • @rebeccaschade3987
    @rebeccaschade3987 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally, I like the sound of the actual key switch mechanics, but I don't care at all about the "keycap bottoming out against the material of the switch casing" sound. On my daily driver, which uses Cherry MX Blue switches, I have silicon o-rings to prevent the "clack" noise, so that the sounds I end up with, is mostly just the click of the leaf spring inside the switch. This is why I'm also not a fan of linear switches. Tactile switches are the way to go. :D
