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

I’ve owned 3 different beamspring boards (2x Displaywriters and a 3278) but never held onto them because they were too valuable and I felt nervous even using them. I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on a new beamspring keyboard.

FXT the packing slip should have been in the package loose, or outside the package in the clear shipping label pouch. I have noted to send another slip with the rest of your orders. You would need to use the beta QMK site for now, not the official site. Please do post here requesting an invite to t...

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

Out of curiosity, are the dot matrix packing sheets still a thing? Neither of my boards came with one. Also, does anyone have a guide for how to use QMK on an F62/F77? I can't seem to make the config site work properly (the download button for the hex file is always greyed out even after compiling) ...

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

Does anyone else have issues with the plastic key stabilizers? To clarify, they work fine on most of my keys, except my backspace. The key actuates fine if it's pressed on center, but binds on off center key presses. https://youtu.be/7KSPlgPKRvU I also have been unable to get the xwhatsit software t...

I'm so hyped to get my keyboard, I'm typing on my xt wishing I didn't have to deal with the layout of it.

Soon.
I dunno, it's kinda nice with a bit of remapping. I might be a bit biased though.

Yes, keyboards ship in order of when they were ordered. I do not prioritize blank key cap keyboards.
What about low/custom serial number boards?

This means that assembly will likely finish in July despite the factory's expectations to finish around the end of June. It's now the end of July. Has the assembly finished?

Great FXT! Yes the spacebar for the project is Model M style for maximum compatibility. Someone used to sell spacebar adapter stabilizer wires to allow Model M spacebars on certain Model F keyboards if I recall correctly. Or you can alternatively switch the original spacebar tabs with the new ones ...

Re: (Model MF) Remodeling the Model M (aka.. the Mara)

Adapters seem like an excellent idea but they don’t work well in practice. I recall there’s a picture of these BS to MX adapters in action (can’t seem to find it) where the caps sit real high and wobbly. I’ve used Alps to MX adapters myself and they suffer exactly the same problem. You have to seat...
