Northgate Omnikey Inverted-T Ultra repair corner!

After replacing a couple of Alps switches and soldering-in a wire to avoid a poorly-repaired lifted pad, this ancient warrior is ready for another battle.

Next: re-program its Hasu's PS/2 to USB converter to make every single one of the "special" function keys do something unique & awesome.

UPDATE! I was able to program a Command key into the tmk firmware on my Hasu's converter!

I think mapping the "special" function keys is going to be more work…

I used a Command keycap from a for-parts Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard (FK302Q). But it looked weird with just one black keycap, so I balanced things out with a blue backspace from Tai-Hao's Alps set, SKU#A01BP301.

Update 2: I managed to maintain the Special Function Key state across power cycles! ⌨️ ⌨️ ⌨️

I also replaced some more bad keyswitches… this keyboard is remarkably easy to service.
