You know how you said you didn't want to make up bored with all these restoration videos? well, I don't know about everyone else, but I am absolutely LOVING these videos. PLEASE keep making more restoration videos :D
The ones he showed are SMK 2nd generation tactile switches, however in the M0116 he didn't show, it most likely had Alps SKCM Orange in it. shame we didn't get to see the good ones..
the 65th shadow got his wrist cut by the 63th shadow because 65th didn't let 63's sis play on 65's xbox. 65 says that this is unfair and cut 63's dick off as revenge. 64 is clueless as to what is happening.
Great video! I grew up around Apple IIs and after delivering hundreds of newspapers, mowing dozens of lawns, and asking for money for two Christmases and birthdays, finally bought a brand new Apple IIGS. Your restored keyboard and mouse looked like the ones that I took fresh out of the box all those years ago. Beautiful work! Keep up the memerizing content. :-)
Watching you retrobrighting stuff is darn near orgasmic >.> its so satisfying seeing all that yellow staining go away leaving clean white plastic behind.
I really love the Raspberry pi, and when the Raspberry Pi 2 and A+ came out... I think it's safe to say I was excited. I can't wait for the next episode!
I’d love to see you do a video on the mechanical key switches Alps electric produced, and all of the other various mechanical switches found in these vintage keyboards like the Dell AT101.
john m - Well the most important thing is that apparently the video signal is compatible with DVI or HDMI. So all that is needed is to cut the wires and create a custom adapter to the HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi. The one reason I keep thinking about NOT doing the G4 though is that the Raspberry Pi is technically slower than the G4 already in there. So I've been thinking of maybe putting an Intel NUC inside of there or something.
The iBookGuy The raspberry pi has more MODERN hardware, though, and a lot more support for applications like web browsers, games, etc. compared to OS X 10.5, which is veeerrrrrry old.
your daughter seems like she would make good apprentice to you in restoring old computers and keyboards. i would love to see her make more appearances in your videos.
Keyboards have actually gotten much worse now. Pretty much all keyboards today use terrible membrane switches, while these old keyboards all use proper, clicky mechanical switches which last for a lifetime. Delicious!
Any way to use some kind of shrink wrap tubing on the rubber of a Mac book power brick ? I found my power brick & all the rubber covering literally rotted off.
I have that EXACT Apple mouse and it went under about the same treatment! I got it for 75 cents, a good deal, but it was filthy! Alcohol and some Peroxide + the sun sure gave it a nicer look.
Hey! First of all: I really enjoy your videos! "One more thing" beside: When you work with your RPi, have you already considered to choose the new Raspberry Pi 2 because of more power? I would really recommend it to you!
Awesome i love these restoration videos, keep it up! Also make sure you get a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, the new one, as it has a much faster CPU and twice the ram of the previous Pi.
What if you submerged the keys in the correct orientation, and then used a clear piece of plastic to submerge them and the clear plastic. Or you could use tape or blue tack to stick the keys to the bottom of the container, and then fill it. It would take less peroxide and they wouldn't float. Although, I'm not sure if blue tack would dissolve or not.
A couple questions that I would like answers for please: 1. Where do you get your keyboards from cheaply (I'm in the UK so everything is more expensive) 2. Would you sell some of these after restoring them because I would love to buy some 3. Which is the cheapest keyboard model for Mac out there?
The iBookGuy You should make a video on how to clean the Apple Pro Keyboards as well. I can't seem to get the keyboard separated from the bottom tray on mine and there's a lot of debris under it.
Man, you were lucky to find a II GS out in the wild for cheap...I've never had any luck finding, well, any old hardware in any of my local shops. Also, how do you disassemble a Apple IIc keyboard? I assume it's fairly similar to the II GS' by the looks of it, but the keys feel a tad brittle on mine. I just need to get the space bar off and nuke it with Retr0Brite.
When I wad a kid we had an old school computer. A big dell with a huge monitor, big and chunky. I used to always steal the ball from the mouse. Idk why but little kid me thought it was really cool. Sometimes I peeled the coating off and kept the metal ball. Needless to say I was always getting in trouble because my parents needed the mouse. Lol
David- Do you think that it would be easy to repair a ribbon cable that became ripped when the keyboard was disassembled, or would it have to be replaced altogether? The keyboard is the apple A9MO330.

Steveg101 I love the restoration videos too. Some of us still love our Apple ][s & older Macs, particularly if you're an old school gamer.

Oh, those gorgeous ALPS switches!
The ones he showed are SMK 2nd generation tactile switches, however in the M0116 he didn't show, it most likely had Alps SKCM Orange in it. shame we didn't get to see the good ones..

The 64th Shadow What happened to the 65th shadow
the 65th shadow got his wrist cut by the 63th shadow because 65th didn't let 63's sis play on 65's xbox. 65 says that this is unfair and cut 63's dick off as revenge. 64 is clueless as to what is happening.

You're not boring us! We love all of your videos! Or ... at least I do.
Stefán Daníel The iBookGuy Agreed!
Me too!
If you made a video on every keyboard out there I would watch them all!!! Great work keep it up!!!
You're really good ._. Can you do more restoration project videos?
ThunderBow no
"I don't want to bore you with like 100 different keyboard retoration videos." - The 8-Bit Guy, 3:35
Wow. I never noticed how yellow old peripherals really are until I saw restored ones.
"we started with the mouse. First, it is going to need some Alcohol....".
Me too, mouse. Me too!
More of these restoration videos please.
Your channel is literally about everything I know and love... Fantastic! :)
I always look forward to your videos. thanks for sharing.
You sir are a savior. I restored my IIGS Keyboard, and it looks like new, 30 years later.
Can't wait for the Raspberry Pi video!
Yes. Bother us with 20 min or more for good restorations. They are good to watch all the time.
This is so satisfying to watch. I wanna go buy a bunch of old plastic parts and restore them just for the hell of it!
I think it's safe to say the iBook guy has the most original tech content out there. Liked as always!
That's why i subscribed. Videos that are like this. Just love them.
I honestly really liked these restoration videos. It would be great if you could do more! :)
I honestly enjoy viewing restoration on the keyboards and mouse! I would love to see more
I love how thorough of a job you do, and how systematically you do it. Really good video; I'm glad I subscribed.
Even years after I found this channel, I still enjoy all of this channel's videos, old or new
How dare you not to bore us with hundred keyboard restauration videos! 😅😅 This never gets old.
This is probably the 15th time I've watched this video, because this is so satisfying...
I would love to see you restore more Apple products, heck I'd love to see you restore any computer hardware!!
Loving these restorations, i find them strangley satisfying
I am really enjoying these keyboard/computer restoration videos,please keep on making them if you can.
You are awesome, please continue making these informative and fact full videos !!!
Hey dude, I just want to say your videos are amazing.
Oh my gosh - that's so awesome! I would have never believed that this works so well until I saw this video... Awesome!
I love your resoring type of videos
Like if you want the iBook Guy to make the "OS X Leopard, is it obsolete?" video! :D
2 years ago his name whas the iBook guy, he changed it because he dit more than iBooks
Gleb Zveryansky ass
+poicly I like 8-but guy better
I really love these videos! I don't know why.
I love do you repair old things :)
Watching you retrobrighting stuff is darn near orgasmic >.> its so satisfying seeing all that yellow staining go away leaving clean white plastic behind.
The Planet Express shirt alone earns my Like. 👍
this just makes me so happy. It looks so clean :)

Thanks for this video, I recently acquired an old ADB mouse and I was trying to do some research on how to clean it.
How about a raspberry pi in a g4 lamp style mac case
have been considering that as well. And I believe I can re-use the existing LCD inside the iMac G4.
I have heard people doing that the video power input is only 5 volts on it at least thats the rumor
john m - Well the most important thing is that apparently the video signal is compatible with DVI or HDMI.

The iBookGuy
I think that it would be even better to leave the G4 hardware alone, max out the RAM, and put the PowerPC port of Debian on it.
gotta love the old alps switches
Nice job, looks brand new.
Love the Planet Express shirt! ❤
I restored my Macintosh Performa keyboard with your video , Big thanks :D , I like it !
Haha I just restored my blue berry keyboard got inspired from your last week's keyboard restoration.
I love these keyboard restoration Videos!
Could you make one about the Pro Keyboard and Pro Mouse?
your daughter seems like she would make good apprentice to you in restoring old computers and keyboards. i would love to see her make more appearances in your videos.
Keyboards have actually gotten much worse now. Pretty much all keyboards today use terrible membrane switches, while these old keyboards all use proper, clicky mechanical switches which last for a lifetime. Delicious!
Delicious?
You want to eat the keyboard????
I would have thought restoring keyboards and mice would be the most boring thing to watch but this stuff is exhilarating!
As usual, very interesting video. Thank you very much :)
Love these restoration videos!
I love Alps switches so much.
I can't wait to see those upcoming videos! Great video by the way. :D
Hey bit i do thank you because your excellent videos made me a A+ student thanks!
My favourite keyboard restoration video
where can i find more videos like these? i already watched the whole playlist... they are really calming
,wow just like fresh and new out of the box,amezing.
Those switches really looked like they needed a proper cleaning inside. I can only imagine the scratchyness.
WOW! Huge difference!
Those key switches remembers to the Strum switches on Guitar Hero guitars.
these are really interesting and good plz do more!!!
Please keep doing the restoration stuff. They're very interesting
That's marvelous ...
I could watch you restore keyboards until the day I die
Love the videos keep them coming
Any way to use some kind of shrink wrap tubing on the rubber of a Mac book power brick ? I found my power brick & all the rubber covering literally rotted off.
I would love to see more restoration videos!
Why is this so relaxing
I really like the IIgs' style of keys.
Still waiting for that 100 keyboard restoration videos. Time to get you hooked on blue alps.
Wow, awesome! Keep up the good work!
please keep making these restoration videos
Do an IBM Model M.
I have that EXACT Apple mouse and it went under about the same treatment!
I got it for 75 cents, a good deal, but it was filthy! Alcohol and some Peroxide + the sun sure gave it a nicer look.
i love these restoration vids make more
0:31
"the first thing it was going to need was some alcohol"
lol
Hey! First of all: I really enjoy your videos! "One more thing" beside: When you work with your RPi, have you already considered to choose the new Raspberry Pi 2 because of more power? I would really recommend it to you!
I really like your restoration videos, you should do more
what a nice looking keyboard.
Awesome video btw do as much as this as you can I LOVE THEM!! Like +1
Awesome i love these restoration videos, keep it up!
Also make sure you get a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, the new one, as it has a much faster CPU and twice the ram of the previous Pi.
What if you submerged the keys in the correct orientation, and then used a clear piece of plastic to submerge them and the clear plastic. Or you could use tape or blue tack to stick the keys to the bottom of the container, and then fill it. It would take less peroxide and they wouldn't float. Although, I'm not sure if blue tack would dissolve or not.
A couple questions that I would like answers for please:
1. Where do you get your keyboards from cheaply (I'm in the UK so everything is more expensive)
2. Would you sell some of these after restoring them because I would love to buy some
3. Which is the cheapest keyboard model for Mac out there?
The iBookGuy You should make a video on how to clean the Apple Pro Keyboards as well. I can't seem to get the keyboard separated from the bottom tray on mine and there's a lot of debris under it.
Idk why Im watching this but I'm enjoying it
Could you do more of these keyboard restoration videos?I find them interesting and fun to watch
I did the same thing with my friend's Apple Macintosh SE. Except without the hydrogen peroxide part.
Man, you were lucky to find a II GS out in the wild for cheap...I've never had any luck finding, well, any old hardware in any of my local shops.
Also, how do you disassemble a Apple IIc keyboard? I assume it's fairly similar to the II GS' by the looks of it, but the keys feel a tad brittle on mine. I just need to get the space bar off and nuke it with Retr0Brite.
When I wad a kid we had an old school computer. A big dell with a huge monitor, big and chunky. I used to always steal the ball from the mouse. Idk why but little kid me thought it was really cool. Sometimes I peeled the coating off and kept the metal ball. Needless to say I was always getting in trouble because my parents needed the mouse. Lol
Would this same method work on a imac g3 keyboard and mouse? thanks for all the awesome videos, really enjoying going through them all!
I find this very satisfying
I love you man, never seen such results
This video is so satisfying! :)
David- Do you think that it would be easy to repair a ribbon cable that became ripped when the keyboard was disassembled, or would it have to be replaced altogether? The keyboard is the apple A9MO330.
I have this keyboard! I converted it to USB and use it on my mac pro on a daily basis. it was $30 and nearly mint.
