Re: Stuff you just bought

Hello, Since 2019, I have been using with great satisfaction a Realforce R2 PFU Limited Edition Silent Topre 45g color Ivory (R2TLSA-US4-IV) purchased from PFU EMEA Europe. I like it so much that I decided that I would like to buy another identical one as a spare but sadly I discovered that it is ou...

Re: My first Model M

Thanks for your answers. But I just discovered that Vortex made a case like the IBM Model M but in aluminum. So I was thinking: what if I got a keyboard with this case and paired it with switches similar to the Topre? My favorite switches are Topre (I use a Realforce with Silent Topre 45g) and I thi...

My first Model M

Hello, I would like to buy a keyboard that will last for many years so I thought about buying an original Model M. I have never owned a Model M so I would like some advice from an expert before purchasing. I have no particular budget limits. I am looking for a US layout keyboard in excellent/restore...

Re: F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Hi, I'm very interested in the new F104 Model F which will be released later this year. Will the keyboard arrive ready for use (except of course the keys that need to be entered)? Or will I have to assemble the LED Overlays as well, even though I don't need to choose custom LED Overlay? Will the key...

Re: F77 Key Problem

I have a brand new F77 from Modelfkeyboards.com. Every key appears to work perfectly except for two, the number "1" and the number "4" key. When pressed lightly, they register properly, but if a slightly heavier force is used, they don't register until the key is released. I've removed the keycaps ...

Re: Heavy keyboards?

As a compact keyboard fan, I’ve no full size Filco but the Realforce 87u feels heavier than the Majestouch TKL in my experience, so I looked them up. Majestouch : 980g. Realforce : 1200g That steel plate in the Realforce really does contribute most of the weight. Its plastic case is quite like the ...

iKBC MF108 is rather heavy. It's quite the block of aluminum Yes, it's curious, my question originates from this! I already have an IKBC MF108 V2 for a few years, but it hasn't worked well for a few months ... It has a problem with the internal memory that does not keep the settings saved. Then I w...

Heavy keyboards?

Hello, what are the heavier modern plug & play (no modding) keyboards currently on the market?
At least 5/6 LB heavy. Is there only the Model F? Thank you

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Thanks for your answers. The noise of the solenoid that I hear in that video I find annoying for my taste. I guess I wouldn't like that, so I'm thinking of ordering the keyboard without the solenoid. Hopefully I will order it in the future considering that it can be installed later. To be safe, can ...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Hi, I'm interested in the F77 (Off-White/Beige). I have some questions (these are probably stupid questions, I apologize in advance): - I use my keyboards connected to the usb hub integrated in the monitor (Acer X34P), will I have problems with this keyboard? -What is the solenoid for? I've never ha...

Repair IKBC MF108

Hello, I have an IKBC MF108 (V2) keyboard that I really like but for some months it has had a problem: the selected LED combination is not saved if the keyboard is turned off and then on again. Every time I turn on the keyboard, I have to set the previously selected settings again. I contacted IKBC ...

Re: New Model M vs Model F Repro

Hello, in this thread you have talked about interesting arguments and I would like to ask if I can reopen it. I currently use a Realforce Topre keyboard, but reading this forum is increasing my curiosity about the famous Model F / M. For this reason I ordered a Unicomp New Model M, which is very goo...
