What does everyone think about an IBM Model M style case with beam spring switches? Is that preferable to the classic beam spring case design?

Yes, it is.

This is a great way for a new year to begin. Welcome back!

The listing is still alive, but the missing keycaps, except "pause/break", would be very hard to obtain.

Something will probably pop up in the next two months that you won't be able to resist.

Let it stay in your mailbox until you buy something else from the US and then consolidate packages and ship together as one package.

I'm glad you're speaking about MF again lot_lizard! MF drop site?

Thank you for the time and passion you invested in this project. It was an honor to be a part of this GB and to exchange a few messages with you. I also enjoyed reading your posts because of the very good style of writing that is rarely associated with people in technical areas. It may sound strange...

Ha, ha, what a joke. Thank you, you made my day.

It's been 10 days since lot_lizard was last online. I wonder what kept him from logging in for so long, but I hope he's doing well.

Agree.

The crack is visible in three pictures and obvious in at least one. You are lucky the seller hasn't listed it as "for parts or repair".

Not sure if he is selling one or 2 keyboards, but here is one of those Chicony KB-5582 with mx blues and trackball from Germany. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chicony-KB-5582-Keyboard-Tastatur-Double-Shots-Cherry-MX-Blue-Switch-/272536249483?hash=item3f746d248b:g:qr8AAOSwImRYVrwz He is selling the keyboa...

What do you mean?

I'm starting the process for invoicing today, but it will take me a bit to confirm everything and get these out. Payment will be due by 12/4. I do have a few heads-up(s) though: if you were interested in replacement springs, they will be .10 each vs. .09 like we originally projected the optional Un...

Just got the 10 Indy full-size cases we ordered from Unicomp (that was freaky fast). I'm starting to like this company and the people that work there. If they could just have dye-sub legends and a consistent printing process that didn't suck.. I would be sold (starting to sip the Kool-Aid again). M...

Unicomp has free shipping during "Cyber week". Also, 40% off on warehouse liquidations. I just bought industrial grey case for $18 and a new model M keyboard for $44.40. No mention of the discount anywhere on the site until you add the product to cart.

My doubt is because scooped alt keys tell me model f... right?

This is model M, F's have black metal backs.

NIB = "New in box". This keyboard looks new to me.

That's right and I don't think that seller has another one either.

At least one of these three is fresh, because mine is still with me, and I won't send it back. It has blue switches and I find them very interesting, but the keyboard itself is all plastic.
