LGR Blerb Review is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_XhRdWdphU What a useless review. He's basically spending most of the time ranting about the keyboard not having function keys or a riser. Which specs was he looking at when he bought it? And most of the comments are on the same line. What a ...

My F77 with all keys - I have the complete set now -yay!! The key feel is really good. The Lettering is really dark. This looks incredible! I'm now more excited to eventually get mine, which will even have the same switch diagram winkey. I'm even using the same wrist rest. Very nice. And I have rec...

My F77 with all keys - I have the complete set now -yay!!

The key feel is really good. The Lettering is really dark.
Btw, the orange key is re-legendable key from Fentek that I have configured to open the calculator app.

I surely do hope there is full F104 keyboard from ellipse. I mean the fixed costs for keys, electronic components and even spring/barrel assembly have already been done. Only the some parts like the case, steel backing, flexible contacts that register keys etc, need to be designed. The supply-chain ...

If you recently got your F62, you will have QMK firmware preinstalled on it. Here are my steps to flash the QMK firmware, when I build a new custom version. I use 2 tools - util.exe and qmk_toolbox.exe 1. Run util.exe on the title bar it says - Util for whatsit running QMK firmware. 2. Press enter b...

I can imagine people will facepalm now! I drilled holes into the case of a brand new F77. This is not a recommendation - it destroys the original design. Other options to show lock lights are to shine an LED from underneath the numpad. Just wanted to share the outcome ... and I do enjoy the vintage...

@BucklingSprings & @DrivenKeys After I replaced all my Unicomp keys with genuine IBM Model M keys, all the normal keys, alt, ctrl, left shift, backspace looks good. I can press these keys on either left or right edge and it goes down smoothly without any resistance. The only key I still have trouble...

@Ellipse Thanks for your reply. I basically replaced all my unicomp keys with the keys from original IBM Model-M (circa 1989). Boy, that made a big difference. I don't see the key binding on any 1U key when I press on the left or right side of the key. I I am look forward to the Dye sublimated keys ...

@Ellipse - Can you please answer my question: If I press some keys (letter ones 1U size) at the edges, I can feel resistance and the key does not go down smoothly. If I press at the center, the key goes down smoothly. I don't know the technical term to describe this. I am using Unicomp keys on the F...

If I press some keys (letter ones 1U size) at the edges, I can feel resistance and the key does not go down smoothly. If I press at the center, the key goes down smoothly. I don't know the technical term to describe this. I am using Unicomp keys on the F77 keyboard. I do not see this with my origina...

Review after two weeks of use. I got the original (zinc) F77 keyboard and my overall impression has been positive so far. Here the customizations that I did. 1. Floss modded all the alpha keys, space bar, shift, enter and backspace. I kept the number keys and the right keypad un-modded to hear the p...

@Ellipse
I have a F77 keyboard (shipped early without keys) and am expecting for right keys with Print Screen/Scroll Lock etc.

1. Will you be shipping only 77 keys or 103/104 keys?
2. Will it be possible to add additional "Fn" key ?

I received my Model F77 this week. I have a Model-M (original), Unicomp Model-M, Cherry Mx Blue and Topre Realforce R2 and added Model-F to the family. Pros 1. It is heavy and sturdy. No chassis flex. 2. I transferred the keycaps from my Unicomp Model-M. It was a smooth process. I just and remove an...
