Oh and, the things I noted may make it seem like I have a negative opinion on the keyboard, but that couldn't be further from how it is. I am in love with this keyboard. It is so beautiful, so heavy and so loud. It's FANTASTIC.

I will TRY to keep this short as I plan to elaborate in a video review at some point, but here are some things that are worth noting before/after buying a Model F Labs keyboard. If the key feel isn't as good as you remember or just isn't matching up to your original IBM, there's a good chance you ne...

What protocol do these use again?

I'd like to find out, just out of curiosity. I still have the controller for it if that will be of any use to anyone.

Typing demo of my F77:

Of COURSE it still doesn't work, of course. xD Did just that and still getting the errors. Thanks though. I did a test run on Windows and did the following: Unpacked the dfu - program Installed the driver by right-clicking the inf file in teh subfolder dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2 Copied the dlls from amd64 ...

Thanks though.

How would I do that? I'm a newbie to this sort of thing. xD Download this PDF: https://static.wongcornall.com/ibm-capsense-usb/installation_model_f.pdf Updating the firmware is described on page 15 What you need: Download dfu-programmer from here: http://dfu-programmer.github.io/ The firmware is at...

Hmm, the only issue I seem to be having is with the spacebar, which likes to double press. It's more of an issue now after a few attempts to tune the spacebar. Have you tried loading the 0.9.2 firmware? I upgraded all of the controllers instantly and had zero issues with it. Double-Presses smell li...

Here's some pics. I bought a custom serial with my birthdate!

Well, I got it! I also recorded an unboxing - except I didn't. It wasn't in frame like I thought it was. Oh well, the unboxing won't see the light of day, but I will be doing a video review at some point.

Just a heads up, these don't work with any converters. You'll need to replace the controller.

Weird. Theoretically you could mod any 122 into a 127 no?

It actually has a different barrel plate! I used to own one.

Good primitive system. Very good. Can't pay online with tracking number, no. Need a letter to come first.

Well, it's in the delivery depot ready for delivery, but of course I can't have my item without waiting for a letter to pay my customs charges (which doesn't look like it's coming until Monday). So Tuesday looks like it's going to be the earliest. Yay.

Has anyone made an unboxing video yet for their new F62 or F77? Have not seen one of those yet! Also does anyone have a .l xwhatsit layout file for the UK or for something else I haven't yet shared on ModelFKeyboards.com/code that they could post? Would like to include it in the available layout fi...

"Northgate Bob" (http://www.northgate-keyboard-repair.com/) is selling a gold badge Northgate Omnikey 102 for $180 + shipping. It has White Alps. I'm no expert, but a gold badge Omnikey with White Alps should mean it's close to Blue Alps. I would agree, provided it has its original switches. But No...

I have been looking for a keyboard with ALPS SKCM Blue switches for a while now, but with people on eBay being generally unhelpful when I ask them to pop a keycap and a lot of conflicting information out there, I figured I'd come here. I'm interested in any decent keyboard with blue switches, PM me...

Do the stabilizers have to be pushed in all the way? I tried one and wussed out half way and already it was a nightmare getting it back out :shock: :D You want to push them in MOST of the way, then push the keycap down. Try not to depress it too hard. Absolutely terrifying :lol: It's old news, but ...

My black F77 departed Heathrow at 07:18 yesterday... Christ I can't stop checking the tracking! I hope I get it this week.

You want to push them in MOST of the way, then push the keycap down. Try not to depress it too hard.

I'd love to turn the Model M I got for free from my Grandad into a Model F.

Threads like these make me feel very nostalgic. Nostalgic for a time where this forum brought me positive emotions rather than negative ones.

Thank you.

chyros fanboys smh

don't.

W-w-well actually s-swearing is not funny therefore you shouldn't get any views and I hate you!!1

It would have been nice to see you try a layout that was similar to standard qwerty just as a sort of confirmation that the board's physical layout, even when as familiar as possible, was bad. It would have been a more thorough review in my opinion. That's a great point. It's a shame the sniveling,...

F62 with solenoid. I will do soon a single post.

Oooh that is great! I also foresee some divorces.

This is going to sound daft, but I'm so happy all of these new Model Fs have the same, signature ping.

That F62 sounds delicious, thanks for sharing that!

Black ISO F77 when?
