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

be cautious with the ISO enter stabilizer Thanks for the tip. I have yet to install the keycaps, and I am puzzled by the black stabilizer that is intended for the ISO enter key: Does the 'ear' end up at a 45° angle to the barrel? It does not seem to fit any other way. The manual threatens you with ...

A modern keyboard with my dream switch in it.
I have signed up for the ANSI now and would buy it again in ISO later on, if ISO becomes available.
Thanks for announcing the beamspring keyboard in the Model F August Update email message — People like me would have missed the news otherwise.

Your catalog is from 2016, so it is likely that these switches are still available, if you wrote to info.sc@honeywell.com to request pricing.

I really need an off-center keystem Capslock in SA profile, if possible in black. Sadly. It's not in black, but I do see an off-center capslock key in the base set of this "Winmix PBT SA keycaps 179 keys" set. Maybe this base set + international set would be of interest to you: https://kbdfans.com/...
