Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
I just wanted everyone to know: If you order custom keys ($4/ea), you can have the 1u keys made with the homing nub. I just emailed Ellipse to confirm, and was happy to learn this is possible. As I'm customizing my meta and function key layout, I realized how useful this would be, and I'm excited t...

Re: Model F Technical Manual Project
@darkcruix, regarding the font, is it a derivative of Gorton as many keyboard manufacturers used, or a bespoke font? If the latter, do you have it available?

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Scarpia's board with "MODEL F LABS" insignia mockup:
It's a bit gaudy. Frankly I think I'd prefer a more understated F62 or F77.- 29 Sep 2020, 03:35

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Ok I couldn't help it. Whipped up a logo based on Berthold City Medium with some tweaks. One with (vertical) serifs, one without.
I think I like the one without vertical serifs better. It feels more in the spirit of Rand's IBM logo. Thoughts?

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
I want to clarify: in no way am I suggesting we use that quick and dirty preview as-is. I downloaded the font and it's not bad rendering to blame for the unevenness, the bars really are inconsistent widths 🤯 I will do this with a proper grid, fix up some of the letterforms, and make a real logotype,...

I'm no Paul Rand, but perhaps something like this?Would rather see the REAL creator of this keyboard and his name Ellipse.
(please excuse hasty preview and use of copycat "Men In Blue" font)

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Is there a modelfkeyboards discord chat? I didn't find a relevant one, only an abandoned one from a meetup held several years ago, but there's nothing but tumbleweeds there now.

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Now in 60% size: render_60_alpha2.png Also I can finally control the line thickness in proportion to resolution, so scaling pictures up won't result in thin-looking lines. Next step - orthographic projection. Some places where my guesses are particularly bad are the radius of the back plate, and th...

I did not see reference to where, exactly, this site is. Maybe you could add a link?

Re: [IC] IBM Doubleshot Key Cap Set Group Buy?
Like others have said, if these are to be B/S keycaps, given the curved plates B/S keyboards (excluding M1, M2, and M15, of course) have, a sculpted form would be redundant and would not play to the advantages that curved plates with uni-profile keycaps allow. As such, I would only be interested if...

I have a tale of woe. It's short but poignant.

Re: Post a picture of your ideal keyboard layout!
Alternately, this, because it's space-efficient and doesn't duplicate any keys. Would need a uniform profile set of caps though.

Re: How about splitting the space bar, with equal-sized symmetrical halves?
I've also noodled on this and gone so far as to print it to scale, mime "typing" on it, and procure some 2u caps to try it. My KLE is here and attached below Screen Shot 2019-05-20 at 18.07.35.png I'm experimenting with options for stagger and spacebar size. I went crazy and made an ISO version too ...
