Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

I concur. I have the /dev/tty set myself and it's the highest quality keycap set I've ever owned. I bought a second one just for this beamspring keyboard. It's been sitting in boxes for a year. I'm in a similar boat--I bought the new MTNU keyset special for this keyboard, it's been sitting in the b...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

caesarcaliyugula I would recommend the B122 as you can set the 10 keys on the left or the extra keys on top to be macro keys. Better to have a few extra keys I would say! The B122's extra width is about 1.5 inches or so and the board I believe has the same length dimensions as the B104. I do have t...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

The beam spring project is open to additional designs with a minimum order quantity. For a completely different design I'd guess there would have to be at least 10 or more orders which would be a tall order for a $400-$500 B50 macro pad. Maybe there would be greater interest in an ortholinear / spl...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

That is true, but a similar durability can be achieved with aviator cables on USB-C, The problem is not the cable, that is easily replaced. The problem is the demolition done to the PCB mounted USB socket on the PCB. To be exact, violent janks at the cable perpendicular to the socket, that's what w...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Robustness, perhaps? The keyboards are meant to last decades. A USB-B PCB-socket is likely to survive that timeframe, a USB-C PCB-socket is likely to end up damaged in that same timeframe. That is true, but a similar durability can be achieved with aviator cables on USB-C, whereas the ecosystem com...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Some folks even custom ordered the case with extra area cut out. How much would this cost extra? I'm still very interested and following this beamspring project, but I agree the puffy rounded cases are currently the biggest draw back for me. I love the sharp, angular design of the OG beamspring cut...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Yes, each key can be programmed for whatever is allowed by QMK / Via / Vial. On my IBM F122 I set some of the additional keys for media functions, Explorer, and Calculator, for example. Transparent relgendable keycaps update: I have ordered these keys from the factory. You can now order them on thi...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

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...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Are there approximate dimensions available for the B104 (as well as any other) configuration of the Round 2 model? I didn't see any posted on the product description page.
