A question on the keys, I on the product page it shows the keys you are going to ship. Does it include a the keys necessary to swap the “Caps Key” and the left “control” key for those who prefer to have the control key to the left of the home row instead of the (mostly unused) caps lock key?

No worries! It is the holidays, and things are always busy

I just don't want to miss out on the awesome train

Update - beam spring orders opening up this week and shipping this month! Just checking to see if anyone has gotten the honor of placing their order(s) yet. I thought I might have been one of the first people to sign up, and I haven’t seen anything about placing an order. It sounds weird, but I am ...

The reason I like the non-numpad version is it would fit better on some of my desk setups

I like the non 3278 104, and I would love a non numpad 87 key version as well!

Ellipse, thanks for the reply. I think mentioning the solenoid driver location/electrical isolation is something that should be added to the manual/video. Also, I did experience the same electrical gremlin that AgentOrange96 experienced. Initially I screwed the solenoid in too tightly, and it didn't...

I got my solenoid in and installed it, got it working! In the manual it shows you where to install the solenoid in the classic case. But nothing deals with where to put the driver board. Other than using some double stick tape, does anyone have a good suggestion? There is a spot for a screw on the d...

What does everyone think about an IBM Model M style case with beam spring switches? Is that preferable to the classic beam spring case design?

Prefer either a modern style case or model M to a big hulking “classic” beamspring style case

I second the request for a demo video! (Already submitted my info on the form!)

Ellipse, I think what you have done is awesome and amazing with these F77/62 projects! I think might be a way to use your quick 100% key quality control check AND have the preferred firmware on there keyboards. Why not set up a script all that as soon as the QC is finished it reflashes the keyboard?...

Here is the link to the cable I used

Yeah, pretty much like that, if you don't mind me asking, what cable did you use?

After un-plugging and re-plugging the keyboard a couple of times, none of the keys register. I'm a bit at a loss. The device still does show up correctly in the system log (dmesg) when plugged in. I am guessing you have a compact case. In that situation, this is a known issue with the ultra compact...

If you get the HHKB layout you can use FN + [ - ; - ' - / (up - left - right - down) for arrow keys. Or you could remap them, see here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=468593#p468593 Thanks. So is that what most people are doing or are they just somehow living without the arrow keys ? Just ...

Something like this set but you would have to cut off the tip of the flat hook so it would fit. It might work. A trip to the hardware store would probably reveal a better choice. You might be able to 3D print one as well...

I would imagine a much more effective tool would be one that fits down the hole in the middle of the insert and pulls up instead of putting pressure from the inside out. Something that is shaped like a “L” perhaps where the bottom of the L is small enough so once it gets to the bottom of the shaft y...

I have a F62 compact as well and I left that “natural” with the ping/ring. For the F77 Classic I did the floss mod and it is ring free. There is a very slight increase in activation force with the floss. But overall I really like it. It is my daily driver.

Howdy All,

Wanted to show the F77 I got. Thought I would go with the Red, White and Blue (and pebble and gray) colors.



If Elipse ever offers white or black printed keys I will be there with bells on
