Speaking of old Macs, I use a 1993 Apple M1242 Adjustable Keyboard (via USB Wombat) as my daily driver※. When I first learned of Kintsugi a few years ago, my keyboard was the first thing I thought of. The original keyboard had about half of the keys non-functional or working incorrectly (double/triple letters). So I got a second keyboard and ended up testing all keys on both, keeping the working ones on the original, and desoldering/resoldering the working ones from the donor to the original. This took a few months on and off since I'd keep discovering new keys that were slightly broken or intermittent. I also modified the keyboard to remove a couple of plastic tabs, to make the top covers easier to remove (since I had to do it so many times). The ribbon cable connecting both halves is also prone to failure, so I sanded down some of the plastic around it to ensure it wouldn't get snagged or compressed (and ordered a spare cable from a parts keyboard as well). I also did a bit of Retrobrite to restore it to its original colour. Anyway, you really have to love something a lot to put that much effort into it (and probably wouldn't have bothered/had time if I had a baby when I got it a few years ago). ※ - Photo here: https://flic.kr/p/2myqXVR https://flic.kr/p/2myqXVR
