Do the new Model Fs play well with iPads?

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
For sure this is the burning question. Ellipse, can you give us any details on how the dye sub process is shaping up. We're chomping at the bit here.

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
That’s my understanding as well.
Ellipse, any hunch about how long it will take to process a keyboard (dyesub, QC, etc.) once it’s in your hands?

Ellipse: Maybe I missed it. What is the latest re: the dye sub process. I know there was a fair bit of discussion about typography/kerning/etc. But I’m more interested in the progress of your actual machine process. Is your output now up to pace to ship units efficiently once they are off the boat f...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Good read, Ellipse. I agree with your points. I’m not sure I know anyone else that is as crazy as I am when it comes to obsessive commitment to quality, but I expect the keyboards to speak for themselves once they are in the hands of their owners and become instruments of retro proselytization. !!!!...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
I can already hear the debate in 30 years:
I think the black-box era Fs are by far the best. They’re the true originals.
Oh no no. The blue-box era Fs are clearly superior, what with their evolution in production processes.

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Thanks Ellipse. Good to have an update. As for the timeline—I don’t know—I’m inclined to believe there are a couple mitigating factors that affect our perception of the project: 1. We are not accustomed to being “in” on a product from the beginning of its conception. We are used to purchasing mercha...

Yes FXT those go out first (first the single digit serials, then the low serials in date of when they were ordered (not in serial number order) Ellipse: How many low serial number keyboards have been ordered? I paid for a low serial number but have a feeling I’m on the backend of that list. Just tr...

Been away for a while. Apologies if this has been discussed. (I did perform a quick scan.) Would this device be of use in converting the new Model Fs to Bluetooth? https://www.adafruit.com/product/2829 What I don’t understand about electrical circuits could fill a book, I’m afraid.

It appears that the solenoid hunt has become confused a little. This link, which is referenced on the Q/A page of the Model F site (and which I have used previously as well), now links to a beehive tool for uncapping honey cells. Such is the strangeness of Ali, I guess. https://www.aliexpress.com/it...

Okay, I think I've managed to confuse myself. Though I'm sure this has been discussed at some point in 122 pages of archives, I would appreciate an updated rundown of the timeline.

Yeah it's the 90 degree piece that's included with the solenoid driver board. Here's the title of the eBay listing I purchased my Chinese solenoid from: 0837L-06C20 6V 0.3A 2mm 0.2kg First Stroke Push Solenoid Electromagnet with Base. I wasn't able to find the exact listing for some reason. This is...

Ellipse: Orihalcon was unsure if the smaller Xwhatsit you are using in the F77 will have the expansion port for the solenoid board like the larger standard Xwhatsit PCB does. I think I’ve surmised from your previous comments that your proprietary Xwhatsit board does indeed have this expansion capabi...

You will need to solder on an expansion header for the solenoid board. Beamspring/blue switch F solenoids will work, and there is also a Chinese solenoid that'll work too but I can't seem to find the eBay listing I used to purchase one. I’m afraid I’m pretty new at this, though I’ve done a fair bit...
