Try 25 years with my IBM Model M Keyboard purchased back in Year 2000.

My daily driver (also a model M) is 32 years old.

I also have an older 1988 vintage, but it's not used so often.

Hi Ellipse,

Any updates to share with us? Thanks!

You will need to order the re-legendable key caps separately. The included keycaps are only enough to cover the std 104 keyboard layout.

Hi Ellipse,

I see you now have some nice Mac F1-F15 keys available for the model-F keyboards... will there be something like that for the beam spring keyboards? At present, I have a whole bunch of the re-legendable keycaps on order for my B122, but actual printed keys would be nicer.

Failing that ...

I presume its so that you can rip off the tape and put in more modules, in case you want keys there.

Looking great! That is definitely super news for the new week.

I'm also looking forward to that B122!

Drop him a line with your order number and your new address.

You can find his email address on the modelfkeyboards website.

Thanks for the update Ellipse; another step towards completion. Very exciting.

I'm really looking forward to my beam spring... I'm not sure the USB question is a big deal for me personally, how often do you plug and unplug your keyboard? In any case, it's not a fast device, so the physical standard shouldn't matter too much; you can always put an adaptor on it if needed.

Super discovery darkcruix. I like my keys firm, so this is a good simple way to ensure that.

Ellipse, how do I order a key cap puller? It's not on the extra's page and trying to order it via the main order page just doesn't work (it claims I have to select some products first).

I've spread my purchase over a number of orders, I hope this isn't too much of a pain? Thanks for your hard work ...
