I know it's not mid year but I'm curious of there's an update.

Yeah, and my mainframe work needs all 24 F-keys...and the delete, end, PgUp, and PgDn keys are ones I use all the time. As a fellow mainframer I agree. I also need the 10 f-keys on the side. Given the massive amount of "keyboard" space my monitors create. and the hassle of layers, I simply can't ge...

It's midway through January. I figure it's time for another update on round two.

Indeed you are. And many thanks for your great work.

You're quite welcome, though there are a lot of other folks who have put as much or more effort into it.

Was referring to your general mainframe work that has help me so much. Hercules is amazing, too.

Looking forward to finally getting it...in the meantime, I've acquired a real IBM 3279 with keyboard. I said for a long time that the Model M, no matter how great people think it is, is just too heavy a touch for me. Playing with the 3279 refreshed me on what I actually liked. (I'm an old IBM mainf...

I have a B122 on order and am considering ordering an F122 but would like to know how long is it taking for model F122s to ship. I did some searching but didn't see anything.

I got that several times since last Thursday. Others I sent the link to did, too. I did not clear cache or cookies and I haven't got that again since I posted that.

Anyway, all good now.

Anyone else been get a lot of "this site is unavailable' the past couple of days?

Saw the below update. Does this mean target is now shifted to 1st quarter of 2024?

"The factory is still looking to wrap things up around year end, which means that the keyboards should start going out early next year. Please keep reading for more details on each of the parts."

No pressure but I'm recovering from strokes and heart attack. Would like to get mine soon enough so that I use it for at least a month before I move to the great beyond

Getting closer to 4th quarter...
I'm curious if there's an update to the target ship date.

Now that we are now on the back side of the year, I'm curious if the thinking is B122s will ship in 3rd quarter or 4th.

I'm curious what the this estimate on when the B122s will ship.

BTW, I also got my eye on that 122 key model F keyboard you just dropped

OMG! That is almost exactly how I've been meaning to mod my F122. Now I'll just this. My wife is going to kill me!

[…] I simply have a surface of 27x11.5" to work with. […]

Perhaps with that much vertical space, you should consider using a Rollermouse: wiki/RollerMouse

I have that very model. It's nice quality but I just can't get used to it.

Really tempted to switch my order to a B122 if it wasn't physically too large for my keyboard tray. I might just spend several days with my present keyboard shifted over to the right to see if I notice the reduced mouse space. I, on the other hand, have a hard time understanding the seeming need to...

I specified a set of 22 as the base set (10 keys on the left side + 12 keys in the top row). The regular key sets do not include extra keys to cover a B122 keyboard so I recommend ordering the relegendable keys. The keys are also available individually. I'm curious, why not sell them in sets of 10 ...

Just received my Round 1 BSSK! Congratulations, and wow your keyboard looks nice! I do love the sleek and simple design of the Round 1 board, but I went with the Round 2 board for the 122-key style. Ugh it's so tempting to buy another one, but these aren't cheap. I agree. That board looks great but...

with the remaining designs to be completed next month.

I'm curious, does this mean the designs will be completed, the boards will be manufactured, or the boards will shipped?

I'm fine with the case.

Just make sure you create the b122 version. That is my dream board.

For the B122 folks, any recommendations on extra keys to consider including?

I would be happy with the 22 black keys with transparent tops or blanks though.

dodddummy please take a look at the beam spring product page for details on the key set that is included. It will not be a 122 key set with F13-F24 legends included. I did read all of the information. However, at this point the b122 model is still at the "it's just an image of the very fine layout"...

I've ordered a B122 and am curious about the keys that will be included. Will f13-f24 be included or will those be blank?

Is there are update on whether this will happen? I'm ready to give you my money.

I got an FK-9000 and would definitely buy this calculator module.
