could we please have another sound test?

Pictures will follow at some point.

I apologise if the structure of my poor excuse for a review isn't all that, but I'd like to hear what you think if this keyboard interests you.

Listing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07W86N3JV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm writing this "review" because I think this keyboard is quite special, even if it hasn't really caught the attention of many people yet, or so it seems. I saw the official HyperX video about t...

It's difficult to describe. The Model F assembly is extremely sensitive to variations in tension, so chances are every iteration (every foam replacement or slightly different reassembly) will produce a different sound and feel, it seems. I think Ellipse would be able to give you a more definitive an...

Apologies for opening a new post, but nobody here seems to have the problem I am with my F... So I did a foam replacement today and everything went well, I got everything closed up and all the keys are working fine during normal use. I have noticed though that on the up stroke the keys vibrate quit...

You don't need to be a "good" typist to make a good typing video. I think slower typing tests sound better to be honest.

There's something extra attractive about the drab colours and lack of keycap legends. So, so pretty.

That's absolutely gorgeous.

Corner aligned, non goofy-Gorton legends, when did Signature Plastics make these? They certainly look like SA, but I thought these came out many years ago, when SP was loathe to make new legend tooling.

I couldn't tell you. :L I really like the font as well, it looks very crisp.

£49 and free UK shipping but you will have to pay for international shipping. They have some shine from use but are in very nice condition overall. The caps sound absolutely fantastic, like wood hitting wood, it's just I don't have a keyboard to use them with anymore so they're no good to me. Please...

As for the sound, it sounds closest to my model F emr keyboard 2, which has a very stiff spacebar compared to the F122. Maybe there's something related going on. The Models F with the large spacebars WILL sound and feel different to the ones with regular-sized spacebars. I am not sure why your F77 ...

You can remove the spacebar safely and easy like any other key. I suspect the black tape has unraveled or something.

Thanks for the review! A shame to hear about these issues, especially the space bar one. I would love a sound test if you'd be able to provide one!

Make sure the foam is soft, otherwise you will have an absolute nightmare of a time getting the plates back together. I actually had an easier time getting the F122 back together (multiple times) and successfully with quite firm foam. The XTs however... none of the foam replacements worked with the ...

I'm not a massive fan of that sound. It does sound nice and deep, but it sounds "chalky" when bottoming out. I stole that term from someone else, but it seems to describe what I don't like about the sound. I noticed this with White Alps as well. Aside from the wobble and perhaps more hollow sound, I...

Wow, that looks fantastic! I'm really looking forward, although I still haven't got the rest of the money yet.

Yes I think your theory may be right. Someone should try attaching 4 metal feet to a Model M space bar, and then try with 4 plastic feet. Try with steel and try aluminum. If you ever do this, I'd love to hear about the results. I'd be willing to mod my F77 spacebar, or even pay extra to have it mod...

Wazrach each new Model F keyboard will sound different, and they will also likely sound different when they are as old as the original Model F's. But yes I do hope people experiment with their new Model F's and share their mods to tune the sound of their new Model F keyboards to their preferences, ...

Or is the sound going to be the same as the typing demos of the prototypes in the video?

The new space bars will sound like Model M space bars (like in the old demo videos). Maybe someone will come up with a mod to change the sound of the space bar in the future. That's kind of sad to hear, but I appreciate the information. Honestly one of my favourite features of the Model F is the so...

No, sorry, as noted a while back I decided on Model M space bars for the key molds for full compatibility with Model M keyboards. The space bars will not match the old F122 (and other) type space bars. I know it's a different stabiliser system, but how will this affect the sound? Will it have the s...

What I really want to know is if the brand new Model F spacebars are going to have that same, deliciously-mechanical thunk sound to them like all original Models F with regular-sized spacebars. I have already asked this, but I'm not sure you understood. :P Reason I'm asking is because the prototypes...

Yep! I love living in the UK! Missing out on this was not easy, but I just had to accept that I can't have everything in life.

Yeah sorry, I have absolutely no idea about any of that.

Nobody cares about your utm_campaign or utm_source. Fixed this for you:

I don't understand

Wooting is selling their stock of Korean-layout ANSI Wooting Ones for $99 or 99 Euros.

I know the above reply is a spam account, but I think it's scary how I had that nightmare before the buyer received his keyboard which was damaged in transit.

Can't comment on the apparent fragility incidents experienced by the OP, but the durability and feel of the PBT keycaps are far superior IMHO to ABS. ABS shine is terrible. The 30 year old M0116 caps on my Ergo Pro washed up to as new with dish soap and feel fantastic. Whereas the ABS caps on start...

I might be one of the very few people who doesn't care about what layout I'm usin. It's kind of fun training your brain to get used to certain things.

I will try washing the flippers in isopropanol alcohol. The barrels were extremely dirty and needed three rounds of cleaning to remove the accumulated dirt. Does anyone know if the flippers are coated with conductive material, or if they are made of a solid conductive plastic that won't rub off? Be...
