Great to hear ellipse! Looking forward to seeing examples of these. For the pad printed keys, are you planning for white print on black keys only or other color combos?

New old stock Focus FK-555: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186327028450 I know it’s NOS because I bought the last one from him and it’s in brand new condition.

Re: [WTB - UK/EU/US] Model M
Have you considered a New Model M? It’ll be reliable and I’m my opinion just as good as an old Model M.

Re: Great/Interesting Finds
Focus FK-555 with Omron Cyan switches. These seem to be known for poor reliability, and the seller states several are not working. Too high of a price in my opinion for switches that may not be easily fixed and are hard to get.

Re: Future of DT
To be clear, Ellipse only said that he'd cover up to $3,000-5,000 to cover a shortfall from $15,000. So technically he might be buying the car with $0 out of his own pocket. He would pay for the gas to put in that car, though. At least after he drains whatever he can raise in excess of that $15,000...

Curious what other wikis you were referring to. Nice site btw!TheInverseKey wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 20:50As such there are better wikis that are popping up to replace Deskthority which also erodes the value of Deskthority.

I disagree with the posts above based on my experience with ellipse, and I don’t think he has any bad intentions. I trust he wants to keep the site as-is. I think he’s truly passionate about vintage IBM keyboards and I’m glad he’s producing them. I think debating about what his intentions are isn’t ...

Re: Future of DT
I’m in for supporting a crowd funded purchase. I enjoy this site and would love to see it continue. I’m also happy with the site as-is and wouldn’t want any changes or updates.
I think we'd need a person to head this effort. My vote would be for ellipse if he’s up for it

Very nice keyboard! I like the Focus layout and function key label. I wonder if it was made by the same manufacturer as Focus?

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)
What type of internal padding to you use? Generally art foam, sometimes felt and/or waffled drawer lining. Where flat sheets fit I will do that, for spaces that have more volume I cut strips to the proper width and enough length to roll them into cylinders that will fill that particular volume. It ...
