By signing up now you are reserving a spot for either the first or the next round (please specify in your reservation).

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

honestly i care more about the color of a case than its look. long as this one feels the same as the beam spring sitting about 2 feet from me I'll be happy. especially in an ibm ssk layout. Extra especially if I can mod it to a unix layout or there becomes an option for a unix layout. hopefully the ...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

And here I thought the f77 would be my endgame... With the ssk style board have a numpad as an extra layer like the ibm ask did? And well basically any chance of am hhkb/f77 layout beamspring? Be still my wallet.. If I order one now how hard would it be to change the shipping address later? Planning...

Are there any pics of the f77 in the classic baige case for f66 in industrial? I'm considering buying a spare case and possibly an f66 this winter

Re: What's your list of beige whales?

Honestly mine are mundane. I've got my beamspring, f122, f77 repro, unicomp ssk... but I want to get a blue alps board like my brother has, and an ergonomic M, m13(beige or black, though the latter would have its keys harvested), maybe an m with a trackball too.

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

Are the 1 to = keys with f1-f12 printed on the front of them any different from the 1 to = keys that come as part of the standard xt repro key cap set, besides having f1 to f12 printed on them? I'm eyeing the set on your website, but i dont want to lose any of the quality ive been spoiled by so far

Oh you're gonna love it. honestly its what tlk boards shoulda been all along.

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

Aging the springs may help for the feel we've all come accustomed to in the modern day. But I've already come across a few model F with rusted springs I've had to fix before. I'm a teeny bit paranoid about those now :o . Imo the springs feel good enough as is so ima try to prevent it all I can. If t...

Beamspring issue. Sign of bad foam replacement?

The outer layer of my board (ie b 7 8 keys) only work sometimes. Like I've found if I don't use it for a few weeks they won't really work unless I push uber hard but the more I use them the easier I can push. The guy I bought it from said he replaced the foam,and since it's only the outer rim that h...

Re: I think the model f 122 may just be my favorite keyboard overall.

I much prefer the IBM Model F AT as it is much more compact and can easily be modified to a modern layout all that needs to be done is some custom key remapping and new keycaps or some relegendable keycaps. I know some really like the a dedicated nav cluster but for me using the num pad is no issue...
