The edge of the top texture looks almost painted on, i am wondering if its a worn injection mould however this also does no...

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

Regarding the shift key, I recommend adjusting the spring by following the QC secrets video in the manual on the project web site. As the last resort noted in the video, switching the spring with another spring or with a spare from the first aid kit can also fix the issue. Ignore me i am an idiot ,...

Re: Is it feasible to fix f122 with m122 case?

The older type of M122 case could fit the F122 but not without modification.

The slimmer smaller case ( like the one unicomp still sells ) will not fit it .

Re: Unicomp SSK delayed, new Model M design coming

Whats with unicomp making terrible bottom rows ? How hard is it to take the original M row and put 1x1 mod keys between the Ctrl and Alt ?

They have done it before !

As much as i want one , i am not buying a model M with that bottom row. Sort your shit out unicomp.

Does it send the correct scancode ? And is it recognised in windows ?

Only thing i can think of is that the PS/2 is implemented via a converter and is not a true PS2 interface ( does ZEN even support native PS2 ?)

Re: so... ARM on your next computer

Well technically they licence the cores from ARM. ARM is a much more simple design ( as its RISC) than the older CISC ways of doing things like x86 and AMD64, it should be the way things are going. Honestly , anything legacy at this point should be running on a virtual machine, just let windows and ...
