When I'm sitting at the keyboard, I don't notice it. You see it when people take pictures of the keyboard from above. It doesn't bother me at all.

I love these keyboards. It was a tremendous tour de force recreating the Model F and it was an exciting project, well ...

Yes. It's definitely not the same fit and finish as a real model F (which I have two of). But I greately appreciate the project, and the keyboard is a dream to type on.

The solenoid isn't stuck--if I keep pressing the toggle key it will click away happily. I don't think there's a key stuck down on the keyboard--I tested them all several times after setting up-- but it's an interesting theory: because of nkro it may confuse the software but the keyboard may still ...

Thanks, Ellipse!

I tried selecting the "Erase Firmware" option and then dragging in the firmware again (before I just entered the bootloader and dragged it in.)

Ok! I never did this ...

עברית / English

my F122 arrived safely just earlier today, but with some minor easily fixable damage (bent pins on solenoid driver) to the accessories.
I took the inner assembly apart and modified the board by putting in basically as many flippers as I humanly could, aside from not splitting the enter key. put it ...

I just got the Model F 122. (I already had a Model F 104 which I'm using right now and am very happy with it.)

I managed to get the two vertical stabilizers on the numpad in upside down (i.e., rotated 180) and can't pull them out with any method I've seen. (I tried the screw and paper method, the q ...
