Leaving all these arguments aside - what most of us agree on is that we should be grateful for Ellipse (and contributing volunteers) for having created something outstanding. Thanks, volunteers and particularly Ellipse, for pulling off this really monumental feat that made it possible for so many o...

I have created a small web page for the Model F Technical Manual Project that also provides the latest version of the PDF for download. In a later stage, I plan to provide also all sorts of keyboard layouts, firmware files and links to the respective github resources. Anyway, the webpage: https://ww...

Can you do a version of
- MODEL F LABS
- F62
- F77
?

This is such a cool project. Kudos! I see you've already got pictures of a battleship, but would you be interested in some of one with original german/APL keycaps? Thanks - a pic of a Battleship with APL keys would be awesome!!!! I have planned to get an Appendix made that contains all sorts of ori...

I have moved the project over to its own homepage (WIP): https://www.bucklingspring.com/ModelFManual.pdf https://www.bucklingspring.com/ModelFManual-Small.pdf The latest version uploaded to the location above received a lot of changes (in Section 4). It is still work in progress and just a sneak pee...

Guuuuys... check out this IBM numpad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274496258628?ul_noapp=true I don't think I had ever seen one like this before. And I can't imagine how high the price is going to end up being. Went for almost 2100 bucks. I was expecting it to go high as the only one sold in recent mem...

Quick Update The manual was updated and counts 120+ pages so far. As always, latest version is available at: http://linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf http://linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf I am working on Hardware Adjustments and Troubleshooting at the moment. I'd love to hear what I should cover...

Thanks for all the guidance - I am normally using the method of taking apart the assembly. I just wanted to hear from the experts here, if I am just doing it wrong.
If there are other ideas, I am all ears. It is not very common to change the inserts frequently anyway.

Straighten out a paper clip and bend a tiny "J" in the end. Reach in and grab the lip at the bottom, pulling straight up. You do not want to scratch or damage the inside of the column. That is what I tried also - didn't work as it sits too tight. The only method for me is to use silicone grease bef...

I have been trying a few methods (Q-tip, tweezers, etc) and I never got the plastic insert out of the barrel, without either damaging it or completely ruin it.
Any guidance would be wonderful !

I‘d love that !!!!

I've been running with one of the default qmk keymaps for a bit now, but finally got around to customizing my own. I rebased pandrew's work on top of qmk master because there was a feature I wanted upstream. I created my keymap and flashed it, but now nothing works and I can't get back to the bootl...

Been using mine for just over a week now and I just realised it has replaced my Model M Spacesaver as my favourite keyboard when I tried that old keyboard again. The key switches on the F77 feel slightly lighter (in a good way) to press than on the Model M. Now I want a new Model F with even more k...

Quick Update Started with the Hardware Details section; specifically the Key Installation. Taking a lot of pictures with different keyboard variants at the moment, but I thought I already upload what I have with the Brand New Model F Keyboards. As always, latest version is available at: http://linu...

I did powder-coat mine and it turned out to be really the only way to properly get it restored ... paint was horrible (used it before): IMG_0003.jpeg Beautiful :D What did you do for the plastic door since you can't powder coat plastic? Also as far as paint there is better stuff than what comes in ...

Most content for the overview section has been added and I am starting to work on the sections that go more into depth. Obviously, there is still some outstanding work on everything and I am happy if someone wants to review it - especially the Firmware Overview section (sorry, the whole thing alread...

I just uploaded a few updates, mostly corrections and cosmetic adjustments of the QMK Firmware Overview section. I also added the translation table in the Appendix B for IBM Set 1,2,3 and USB scancodes. 93 pages for both: 71MBytes: http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf 16Mbytes: http://www.linux...

@numist, can you post a picture of both ends of the soldering? Sometimes just a little bend / pressure can cause a column not to register if the soldering has a flaw. I had this with my self modified keyboards. I neglected to take any pictures of the solder job when it arrived, but here's how it lo...

I have uploaded the latest version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf or the size reduced version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf Wow amazing job guys. Vast amount of useful information displayed in such a nice package :) Thanks! Just uploaded the daily changes. This ti...

I just recently added those to my F107. The F107 originally comes with plastic inserts that have a different size. What I did is to remove the plastic inserts and filled the gap with epoxy resin that was already in the curing phase. Then I inserted the tabs into the gaps - they fit pretty nicely. I ...

Not to outdo darkcruix, but i'll be taking mine scuba diving next week. ;) Seriously though, I tried to take a better natural light photo for the color red, but then this happened to our skies outside: ... But anyway, I decided to try my hands at photographing it again indoors. This time with bette...

Great photos - thanks so much! They will look fabulous in the document .... I hopefully will find time this evening to update it. This original F77 .... man ... wow Thanks! If you need something else just PM me. I have them included and uploaded - looks great, imho. Huge thanks for that! Still look...

I just came back from travel and I had my F62 with me in my backpack. I took some care of it, but not extremely. My backpack was dropped once and I could hear the F62 slamming to the ground and the springs were ringing ... Guess what ... the keyboard had two keycaps to be re-seated, but zero issues ...

I have uploaded the latest version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf or the size reduced version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf I have started with Section 3 - Firmware Overview . For QMK I am starting to build the basics around its usage in the overview. During that p...
