An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

everytime someone posts a non iso layout, i kill a hostage
I have that exact one. It’s a membrane board, but not bad sounding. I love the Big Ass Enter key. I tried and failed to convert it to mechanical. Impossible to find a mechanical keyboard with a BAE, sadly.

If I didn’t have this exact keyboard as a kid, we had one nearly identical to it. So much IMing and gaming time on that keyboard. Nice find!
How do you connect it to your computer? I have a big old keyboard but it's from before there were PS2 ports so I don't know what to do with it.
There's a couple options from before the ps2 standard, but I'd guess it's a 5-pin DIN connector on an AT keyboard (e.g. IBM model M). You'll need to know more about the keyboard to make a determination, but you might get lucky with a passive adapter to PS2 and chain to USB. Before the ps2 standard, there was more variety between manufacturers in both signaling and connectors.
Absolute worst case, open it up, rip out its guts and replace with an Arduino set up for HID mode.
I don't speak from personal experience, but it's my understanding you can do this with an active (as opposed to passive) ps2 to USB adapter. Should be compatible with pretty much any ps2 keyboard.

What makes it perfect for you?
I mean.....are you looking at it?
It goes clicky click in a nice way. It feels solid, my other keyboards are shitty dollar tree ones which have RGB for some reason.
I’d say that’s a weird spot for the \ | key, but looking around, I think that’s one of the last keys on a 104 key keyboard to get standardized.
Does it weigh a ton and have mighty ClIcKs that wake up the dead? If so, good find!
Weight and dopamine releasing clicks are the best.
