I'll take Australia.

Ouch, that shipping price. I expected that.

Will have to wait until I get paid before I place my order, ha.

Regarding the smaller case, what are the chances of it being available to be shipped with an early bird order? Will there be different colour options? Which parts of the inner assembly would be incompatible with it, just the backplate? I can't see the backplate by itself available in your store at a...

The site says the 22nd of February for the early bird run.

I'll be getting black. It should look good either with black blanks or beige with legends, so I can switch between sets as desired.

AT.

Also, uhh... damn.

Just received mine as well. It's pretty nice. Thanks, chzel

You could join in on the second run which is a couple of months away.

just double-checking so that I can join last-minute after lamenting for as long as possible

They will be made to order. The more, the better.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I'll be trying to get the spares then, because I would definitely like to split the backspace on F77 (well actually pretty much on any keyboard I use; I got hooked up on the HHKB layout). BTW it seems to me that Ellipse's prototypes have the right shift...

Sorry for a newbie question, but I don't actually know how does the following work on model F keyboards: Are things like splitting the right shift into HHKB-style, and splitting the backspace into 2 keys just a matter of getting appropriate keycaps? So possible on both F77 and F62? Or does it requi...

You should come to my place for an exhibition. I'll provide snacks.

Could someone give me a brief summary on how to order(Ellipse mentioned a website I think) and what customization options are currently available? I saw some stuff about unicomp but and custom layouts in the OP, but what worries me is the measly cork feet. One feature about old keyboards that I rea...

Dead switches?

I'm going to assume mine is a week or more away. Looking forward to it.

Any news on this?

I find this project super exciting and thinking of jumping on the train. But I have a few questions: Will the keyboard be programmable by us? If yes do I have to buy a controller for this? If yes which one? More questions to come... Fully programmable, xwhatsit controller included with your order, ...

I would be interested in a smaller case. If I were to get a smaller case by itself in the second round, do you know how much that would cost? And how small are we talking about? Edit: That's assuming it would be compatible with the rest of the keyboard after applying the newer Xwhatsit. Is that the ...

'Model F62: Redefining "compact" keyboards'

What you see right now is an interest check. It won't count as an order.

Straight text.

Looks like a switch donor to me.

Why are there springs in every barrel?

Looks like Alps cream.

Those are clones, unfortunately. They may still provide a good typing experience, I'm not sure.

Well done.

Never in America. Never.

*Shakes fist at all of you guys that even have keyboards on your ebays. It's a barren wasteland over here.

And why would they have their damn business card blocking our view of the label? ... but yeah, definitely not a Model M.

Membrane, sorry.

From where?

What switches can we expect that to have? Can't see any info on it in the wiki.
