It has arrived.
The Legendary...The Original Kishsaver.
The Model F Kishsaver.
Typing on it.... everything else feels like mud compared to this beauty.
It feels like the Bugatti of keyboards and no wonder it holds the crown.
The keys are smooth like butter and the weight of the case it's built to last.
It really is the best keyboard I have EVER typed on.
--------------------------------------------------------
REPAIRING THIS KISHSAVER-
Some keys do not register, could be the controller or voltage.
Currently:
E, T, U, O, A (do not register)
M (sometimes registers)
` ~ key is mapped onto \ | key
\ | key mapped to ` ~ key
Shift + Keys works accept for the ones listed that don't register.
FN + 1-9 for F keys..Works.
------------------------------------------------------------
Videos Here testing the Kishsaver.
First video is typing QWERTY, displaying the keys not registering. Some typing at the end.
Probably voltage to be adjusted:
Second Video is freestyle typing side by side on the Kishsaver and IBM Model M SSK.
I type much faster on the Model F for sure. Model M is great but feels a bit more stiff.

If anyone has a spare one of these and they happen to want either a 5k IPS monitor or an industrial ssk (both worth over a grand) then let me know and we'll make the trade. Seeing this made me drool

Iirc, these were all found in China (or was it HK?)
So maybe start digging around in recycling centers that get stuff from US.

I saw your specs in the other thread around here.wobbled wrote: ↑I'll be selling my 5k IPS at some point so let me know if interested. Idk if your PC could handle it though.
We have the same graphics card, ram and cpu. Very similar computers.
Already ordered an IPS on amazon, should get here soon.

I purchased one a long time ago, I have a very low serial number. Not sure why you're suddenly talking about that though, I was asking if the monitor you bought was 5k? (in terms of resolution)MrDuul wrote: ↑You can purchase one of Ellipses boards.wobbled wrote: ↑But is it 5120 x 2880?

4K is good enough for me, don't need 5k. All good here.wobbled wrote: ↑I purchased one a long time ago, I have a very low serial number.
