Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Hi everyone, anybody faced this issue? Realised it after 2 months of unboxing it. It's bugging me that the powder coating is such a low quality :(

ANSI left shift is totally doable on the XT. I've done it on mine. Just move the springs around and buy a left shift and you're golden :)

You could check out my Soarer's converter, it's on eBay. I hand make it and it's designed for internal use.

Re: Need help erasing Soarer's keyboard converter from my Arduino Micro

Short the GND and RST a few times and you'll have about a 10s window to flash the new firmware. Alternatively, map a key to enter bootloader mode as per Soarer's firmware manual.

What's the reason for bolt modding it though? From experience, the XT has one of the tightest sandwich between it's plates. Bolt modding is a bit unnecessary in this case right

Re: The Ultimate IBM Model F review (XT, AT, F104, F122, 5291, 4704 etc.)

Would love to see a beamspring compilation! The project would be big and it'll cost a small fortune to ship, but the thought of gathering as many beamspring in one video is an amazing idea.
