The default solenoid dwell time did not do it for me, so I had to manually adjust it so that it reaches a level where I can press q.w.e consecutively many times without the solenoid lagging. With the Vial firmware I cannot find a setting that I can do that, but with the QMK firmware I can eventuall...

NathanA, I've tested the Vial firmware you made and it is now working perfectly! There are two observations I made: a) Sometimes the Q key and the whole number row may stop working midway. Replugging in the keyboard fixes this. It has happened twice, will see whether it reoccures b) The snappiness a...

I tried with the pre-made hex files files for Via and it doesn't detect the extra key for the short space, but it does for the short right shift. This is even after I have enabled short space in the Via GUI. However when I flashed the Via firmware on darkcruix's website here https://www.bucklingspr...

daijoubu this is correct - to customize your keyboard further I recommend starting from the pre-made JSON files in the posted zip file in the manual on the project web site and making adjustments from there for split space bars or other custom split keys. For what do most folks use their extra key ...

I noticed that the QMK and Via zipped hex files that Ellipse posted, the via firmwares does not have the split space mapped.

Just further updates on QMK, having used it for 1 month + as a daily driver at work. IMO this completes the new Model F. Zero hiccups, no need for fiddling with drifting of voltages, works as expected and intended, and layers work well.

Hoping to seal the deal with a solenoid one day =D

Has anyone else noticed issues with the powdercoating, for those using these keyboards often? Over 200 keyboards have been mailed, some of which were mailed last year and have been in use since then. So far one case has been shared. I have been keeping in touch with many of you over email and PM an...

Just to share a layout I've made with the QMK. My current layout is with 2 extra keys coming from split space bar + split right shift How does the small space bar and the extra modifier fit? (Ellipse said there would be a tight fit.) You got them from Unicomp, right? Yes and I think I got the wrong...

I have been testing pandrew and tentator's QMK firmware and they are a joy to use. Fixes with the drifting problem, and so far it has been smooth sailing. I'd say when this is finalized and ported over, software woes with the capsense should be all but eliminated (fingers crossed). PS: tentator told...

If you're not scared to open it and reach the reset pads of the controller I'd suggest you to test the qmk firmware from Andrei and see if his autocalibration is more reliable? Let me know. Tent:wq Are you currently using it, and has it solved your issues? I am currently using pandrew's fix with de...

Does anyone get occasional typed characters despite being on the debounce 6 firmware? I will occasionally need to increase my Current Threshold up to 131 or 132 for this issue to go away, but then after some time, my J key refuses to register until I bring the Current Threshold back down a few. The...

Alright, found another small bug, really hope this is the last one I have to fix :) Complete list of patches is: 1) joc's patches on top of official xwhatsit 0.9.0: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/ibm_capsense_usb_mods/commit/98000b8a2ee10c1165b2c84f6bcf94faad659663 2) my patches on top of it all t...

wcass, it would make sense if the old is 5.5u, so that the other key would be a 1.5u instead of a 1.25u. At what point did you measure the spacebar? At the bottom length? Yes, flat across the base of the cap. Thanks! And that smaller space corresponds to the Small - Pre 7/2013 space bar from Unicomp?

Thanks for sharing pictures PRIPARA_PLAYER! I bought the new one and I suspect that I should be getting the old one.

Those are insert lines from the zinc casting process, and if the insert lines are protruding out of the surface (positive emboss) can be removed with additional buffing/grinding process but needs to be done carefully so as to not create more imperfections (irregular buffing marks) that will show up ...

You could try redoing the space bar stab wire to make it bend really tight so it does not come out.. i hat to do it on mine.. but yeah it looks a bit tight there.. Btw are those nice blue keys dual role? (i.e. shift when hold and up when tapped) cause i'm trying to do the same.. Those keys are sing...

Received some caps from Unicomp. Sadly they don't print the arrow legends on the blue caps. 20200208_100340.jpg I've also tried converting the spacebar to the shorter type to gain an additional key and move the Fn key next to the spacebar, however I think I've ordered either the wrong space bar or t...

Typing on the F62 is really addictive. It just feels so smooth, but in a chattery way. Like it's the most eager keyboard that wants to bring you on a typing adventure. I still cannot type on it as fast as my Topre FC660C, but the satisfaction of typing on it is better IMO. What I'd love right now is...

Ellipse, is it possible to convert the long space bar to the short space bar (as those used in 104 key layout unicomp keyboards)? I know there is an extra hole on the right side of the keyboard, does it have a capacitive sensor underneath it? If yes, what do I need to get? - 1 extra barrel? - 1 shor...

That looks amazing, daijoubu! So exciting to see one with nonblank keys! I hadn't noticed the black tape on the barrel plate in the pictures that were posted previously. Does it by chance cover an extra hole, and does the PCB have pads there, to allow for an extra 1.25u key with a 5.75u Unicomp spa...

Just wanted to express how excited I was to receive the unit. By stroke of luck I happen to find myself in the States for business, and Eclipse was kind to arrange for my unit to be shipped while I'm staying here. Of course I had the low serial add on, and I had to opt for it to be shipped without k...

I've just completed my Model M screw mod. I've used M2 x 8mm truss head screws with sharp points, which protruded a little from the top of the barrel frame. I drilled 2 out of 3 of the right most points, at the numpad under where vertical 2u '+' and 'Enter' wire stabilized keys are to be, and the p...

Hi Ellipse, do you see it an issue with the Trump tax affecting goods coming in from China?
