Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

bleair thanks for your feedback and glad that the keyboard is being put to good use as your daily driver. I think Left+Right Shift has something to do with QMK so that may have to be disabled in the configuration files but I'm not sure. So, when I got to something like this https://config.qmk.fm/#/...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

My round 1 beamspring is now my daily driver. The key feel is by far my favorite part. So very crisp and snappy. I feel this project has achieved something really incredible. It's brought back the beamspring switches and put them onto a modern keyboard layout. I do have one issue which leads me to a...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Thank you for posting the video links (I've managed to reassemble a few of the keys, though it takes me a lot of time and misses to get them together - wouldn't have gotten any together without the videos and instructions) Okay, my next challenge is preventing the spurious key presses (voltage thres...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

I just setup my Round 1, 104 Beam spring (seen here https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product/beam-spring-round-1-keyboard/ First question: When pressing the u key or the h key I'll often get the other key as pressed also. Also I'm seeing quite a few spurious u key presses so I suspect sensitivy on th...

Re: Modern Beamspring? - The Silo Beam Switch

The description for this switch sounds so promising.

Will this modern switch be capable of faster "return" than original beam springs? As in do I have to worry about typing too fast on repeated keys for the "beam" portion to reset?

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

How practical is to think a solenoid could be added into this keyboard?

I recently tried a beamspring keyboard with the solenoid and both the noise and the physical feedback of it activating as I typed was really nice.

Re: AT&T 56k 460 ACW keyboard review (AT&T magnetic separation switches)

the "capable of bashing in skull" seems to by keeb'dom's equivalent of tameshigiri rating of samurai swords... can your keyboard bash 3 skulls in with one swing? :)

Great review... Just how hard is to find this AT&T style of keyboard? Should I even try?

Re: Add honing bumps/pips to F and J keycaps?

It's not fancy, but it's easy to remove. You can put a dot of white elmers school glue on the two keys you want to have bumps. It'll dry clear and it's easy to knock it off should you change your mind.

Ellipse,

Your attitude and focus on this project is great. I personally feel that getting the flipper assembly "right" is just about the most important aspect in terms of key feel, so please take whatever time you need to ensure the end result meets your standard!
