Re: F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Yes, no reports of the issue means people have solved this .... hence I'm here fishing for one of these talented people to show me the way!! :) Just skimmed through but from the first link it seems to be an Xorg issue and that it works fine in Wayland? So indeed the best solution would be to switch...

Re: Eclipse F62 - technique for replacing spring
What do you do when you buy a product that doesn’t work? Send it back for a replacement or a refund, these are a lot of money for it to arrive fucked… I mean, it's stated it might be a possibility before you order it so just don't order one if you don't want to risk having to reattach a spring by y...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
I've been doing work on Hercules with a real 3279 and its keyboard. It's been a revelation compared to my M122. The touch is much lighter, with a longer travel past the actuation point. I'm really, really hoping that the beam spring Ellipse is making feels just like it. I don't care about the sound...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
Just checking, are there any B62 without any kinds of split shift etc? Seems both of the ones on the product page has some kind of splitting going on. Thinking about getting a 60% as well while I don't have to pay double shipping for it.

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
Ellipse, I thought there was a version of the beam spring case that had a dip in it and that could be used as a pen holder. Is there a version of that case planned or is the one shown the only one available. It doesn’t matter to me if it has it or not but was curious. Fairly certain it was a propos...

Looks very nice to my eyes, and wow that's an impressive forehead on that guy.

I'm assuming these are the same keycaps that will be shipped with the completed R2 boards? Love h...

Re: F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Thats cool but why do you still have an order cut off date? To create a sense of urgency to boost sales. That's what it is. No, Ellipse won't ever admit it. Just drop it and move on. If that wasn't the purpose, he could set the cutoff date to be three months in advance rather than one. There is no ...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
since you have the unused Caps Lock-key to switch layers you don't have to change your hand placement to use them Good points, but I must quibble with this one: you may not use Caps Lock, but I do, especially when, for example, entering JCL to build a job to run on the mainframe. I bind it to caps ...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
The problem to me - aside from the fact that my fingers know where to find the F-key to do all sorts of things in a mainframe application on a 122-key keyboard without my having to think about it - is that you wind up playing unnatural chords to get to some things I use often. How many keys do you ...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
I hope so, too. I have an F77, and it's a nice keyboard, but I need the extra keys way too badly to use it. For me the F77 has too many keys actually. I have one at work and a F62 at home. The only thing I really miss is an actual numpad but as my F77 doesn't have a double sized 0-key it still does...

Looking forward to finally getting it...in the meantime, I've acquired a real IBM 3279 with keyboard. I said for a long time that the Model M, no matter how great people think it is, is just too heavy a touch for me. 100% agree. I have one on a shelf and it's very smooth and satisfying to press, bu...

Re: IBM Model F with Nordic layout (Danish)
I find its switches quite commendable. It's closer to blue Alps than to Model F, especially the sound: Model F is much louder than this, but easily the best clicky board I've tried from this century. Another opinion I agree with. I really like the feel of Box White switches, I don't enjoy the sound...

Re: IBM Model F with Nordic layout (Danish)
Disclaimer: This is going to be guesswork from me. If you are looking for a genuine IBM Model F with a danish layout I think you might be looking for something slightly rare, and for that reason slightly expensive. Also keep in mind that a Model F doesn't necessarily have a very modern key layout de...

Zeal Clickiez are absurdly tactile, overwhelmingly so. If they are a 10/10 I'd rank buckling springs at a 5 max.

You can always have a friend order a keyboard and you can order a first aid kit to ship with it at no extra cost if funds are tight.
