Careful, there's a typo: the "keycode right" command is "KC_RGHT", so the full command for the bottom right key is: MT(MOD_LCTL|MOD_RCTL,KC_RGHT) (it took me quite a bit to understand why it wasn't accepted) Thanks again! Thank you for pointing out my typo! I have edited my initial post and hope I ...

Are there any plans to close orders for these keyboards? I don't have the finances to get one right now but would hate if a couple months from now they are no longer available for purchase. The "have orders in by" note on the project website has been updating every month for years. Quite a few time...

...In Germany it was taken over by DHL and they informed me, when it went into customs and sent me an online form to pay the import taxes. It was >20% in my case. ... That's surprising.

Here's a comparison I did between my five-year daily driver, a silenced Realforce Topre 55g, and the F77 Compact

Silenced Topre is a great companion to capacitive buckling springs if you need to spend time in video conferences...

For sale is an IBM Model M (1391403), manufactured in the UK on 5 May 1992. German ISO layout. I bought the keyboard (without cable) from Deskthority member wobbled about two months ago. Because the German ISO layout and I didn't get along, I decided to let it go at cost, so someone else can enjoy "...

I followed the steps verbatim from Ellipse's flashing video. (Btw, I'm no stranger to tech -- ECE major here heh) I erased the EEPROM prior to each flash. However, the pandrew util doesn't work once VIA is installed, correct? After installing VIA and noticing the incorrect key behavior, I was force...

On Deskthority my nickname is a portmanteau formed from troglodyte and type to indicate my lovely personality and love for old keyboards. " troglodyte, n . (figurative). A person who lives in seclusion, unacquainted with the affairs of the world; a ‘hermit’. Also: a person who lives in a hovel or sl...

^^ All your problems solved, @darkcruiz

Wondering if that grime is really printer toner? Was also my first thought, but it's difficult to ascertain. If it is printer toner, try to get your hands on "Xerox Formula A" cleaner.This link ( https://www.xerox.com/download/ehs/msds/D-0401.en-us.pdf ) downloads a PDF data sheet with ingredients.

If you're happy using command line, just use avrdude itself, which is arguably even simpler.

For Linux, the use of avrdude on the command line is definitely easier to document than the additional install of some GUI such as the mono-based avrdudess.

Good news is that the files in this forum post definitely work and can be used with any professional laser cutting company. The one I am using is: snijlab.nl here in the EU, as they are fast and normally produce perfect quality. The materials they use just have its normal variation of thickness - a...

Firmware update: As an update a few folks have volunteered to help pandrew add Model F officially to the main QMK project in recent weeks. Given the amount of work needed and the time limitations of everyone I am not sure how much time is needed to complete this but I'm hoping that it can be soon. ...

I think it would be better to just go for a new model f :/ Budget apart, it really depends on what you are after: Do you "just" want a TKL buckling spring keyboard because you like the switch type and the form factor or do you want a vintage keyboard in particular? Nothing wrong with either of thes...

They have become quite rare and recently I have seen them go for 300+ (both $ and €) when in reasonable condition and / or bolt modded.

I want to push back a bit on some claims about the documentation. I agree that a more simplified documentation could have been produced and fleshed out more by me but the documentation provided by pandrew and darkcruix is excellent and very thorough, many pages long, and I don't think anyone could ...

Admittedly as noted before, the documentation should have been fleshed out much earlier. I think the primary part of a keyboard review should be about the keyboard experience that 85-90% of Model F users have, which is just using the keyboard without firmware-level key remapping, though I understan...

Questions about data and the licensing of the Wiki should be directed here:

I am looking forward to answering and discussing further tomorrow at the AMA.

Thanks. Done.

The sale contract includes that user generated content is still owned by the user.

That's good to know. But does that include future user generated content? If not, this should be clarified to restore user confidence.

By the way yes, licencing matters w.r.t. the wiki, and note that there's a lot of info in the body of the forum itself that isn't on the wiki.

Yes, a very important point!

People selling and buying forums is fine with me. I am concerned when the knowledge many users contributed over the years becomes the property of a commercial outfit. It seems that the users made their contributions with the understanding that this knowledge will remain available and help other user...

What a wasted opportunity to hear Thomas swear at yet another ergonomic keyboard...

Noticeable, sharp, and light. Well said!

Your write-up was a teeny-tiny bit meandering in places, and sometimes I got a bit confused by how the images relate to the text. But that's exactly how I write, too, and I enjoyed reading it. You report your personal experience and try to make it helpful to others. That's a great approach. I never ...

I have a silly question regarding those that bought the Kishsaver.. It clearly doesn't have any arrow keys.. How are you moving your cursor around ? Just using the mouse ? I use the inverted T cluster made up of the three modifiers and the shift key (linked above by xyzzy). When pressed once the ke...

Did anybody else have their keyboard function without any problem on QMK for months and suddenly it starts to put out the wrong letters or double letters (i.e. wrong codes). Happened out of the blue. No changes in the setup. Any ideas how to best troubleshoot this? (Edit: This was caused by the dama...

@pandrew, would it be possible to have access to the QMK beta ?

Try writing Pandrew a DM. He's not always checking the thread (also, QMK truly rocks on the brand new Model F keyboards)

@warty I think that's a great idea! Pandrew is already working on something like that. Perhaps get in touch with him so he can give you access to the work in progress and you can make comments / expand the doc?

@warty I have set it up the QMK build environment on macOS and flashed both a F62 and an F77 successfully. Happy to help. Can you post a quick guide here? I‘d like to add it to the technical reference I am working on. Pandrew is working on a guide (I wanted to contribute to it but didn't have the t...
