Hey @pizza_is_a_lie, just checking if this is still happening?

I’ve ordered a bunch - thanks for the heads up!

Bluetooth wireless keyboard option? Someone just messaged me the following option for a wireless Model F and I was wondering if anyone has looked into it: The Handheld Scientific BT-500 Bluetooth Adapter for Keyboard & Mouse: http://handheldsci.com/kb/ Using this adapter, removed from its case, you...

Cool - following this with interest for my first Alps board!

Good point - correct terminologies are important. Low serial number upgrade indeed for this Australian.

Never have I been happier that I bought an earlybird upgrade.*

Sweet!

(Edit: it has been pointed out that between my excitement and haste, I’ve used the incorrect terminology, and that I should have written ‘low serial number upgrade’ or similar. Thanks to those who pointed out my error!)

Is there still any chance of Round 2?

Bluetooth wireless keyboard option? Are wireless keyboards really that popular? All your keystrokes, private messages, and passwords in the air for others to possibly steal, and a long history of bluetooth security problems... Hey Humanoid - yeah, nothing is as secure as a cable, I agree, and for a...

Wow, they look amazing!

So, now I’m wondering if the keyboard ordered is in the HHKB layout (all mine are, with split right shift) do they come with the HHKB keyset on the board? Front print?

<starts checking what keys I’ve already ordered>

Very nice!
Hmmm. AUD to GBP conversion plus Shipping GB to AU... eek.

I broke down and added an F62 HHKB non-split backspace in industrial grey, plus a bunch of keys.
Now in for that, plus my original (amended) order for an F77 classic and an F77 in the modern case.
Gee... I hope I like Model Fs...

Looks brilliant! Icons for a complete board are now available. Also showing off the ones that have only been referred to by name in the previous extra key sets mockups. F XT Icons v7.png I'm not completely sold on the broken arrow Caps Lock. (The 'padlock' icon as shown previously is still available...

I’m still intrigued!
Could go well on a new Model F...

Looks good. I like my round 1 mt3, and the extras from r2, in for r3!

Thanks for the updates Ellipse.
In for the long haul, and I appreciate your frankness regarding timings, and the pursuit of quality over speed.
Cheers.

Any update zslane? Still keen!

Thanks for the update!

G'day again. Signed up over at http://sbskeycaps.com so I can make sure I don't miss out on this when it goes live - or when more updates occur. Thanks for setting that up! FWIW, a couple of thoughts after reading everything in the thread since about page 3. I really like Zed's renders, particularly...

Hi Ellipse.
The compact F77 has proven too tempting, and I've emailed you at info@modelfkeyboards.com a request to change my order.
As always, the keyboards look great, and I am so glad I got involved way back in October 2015!
Cheers, Cods

Nice!

I can't believe I read 23 pages of this thread today. Also can't believe how creative people are. Bravo. I'm not particularly creative, but I love hi profile key sets, and will support and buy. Regarding colours - FWIW I would prefer something closest to the beamspring photos Murium et al have poste...

I'm in. Straight up I'm not going to buy a case. I'll be sorting out blanks and odd-sized bottom row keys for my FC660Ms, to be up front, but I get where you're coming from, understand why you're sticking to just 60%, and despite my personal dissatisfaction with the Poker etc, I love the colour sche...

it does look nice..but as always my FC660M with strange spacebar will be a big problem.. Not to mention my FC660C Topre madness..ahahha Our odd spacebars are but a narrow chisel, a dab of epoxy putty, and some minor bravery away from every key set under the sun! SA on small keyboards rocks. Arrow k...

As an example, I ordered the "Godspeed" keyset from Massdrop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/25045 I'll mod one of the spacebars and leave the others standard for use on my other keyboards. 1× Base Kit / Alphas: Solar Alphas Child Kit: Novelties (+$39.99) 1× Child Kit: Modifiers (+$34.99) 1× Child Kit...

I have been searching for a replacement spacebar for a Leopold FC660M. It is a standard length (6.25 units; 118 mm), but it has non-standard spacing of the mounting stems (one center mount and two mounts 2.25 units (about 43 mm) to the left and right of center. Therefore, now I would like to find r...

I like this _coffee chap. He's passionate!

I am very interested in spherical buckling spring keycaps. I have three Model M's and a couple of Ellipse's F62 and F77 new model F's on the way (eventually). I would buy at least one set, purely out of interest as to feel, quality, novelty, no matter what the colours/design - even if design #1 was ...

This... seems like it's sleeping.
Please tell me it's sleeping, and not dead!

Wow Ellipse, you don't do things by halves!

I might as well make an ambit claim like __red__ and Vizir... sphericals would absolutely rock.
