Re: wrist rest angle
The wrist rests I have made are flat and about the same height as the keyboard. Ergonomics-wise, you should have your wrists pretty straight in a normal typing position, the slope you have seems like it would put your wrist into extension, which would not be ideal. But that's just my best guess, you...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
So I had to go with a black on black F62 after seeing pictures of someone's black 4704, and I do not regret the decision.
Damn, that's a good looking keyboard.

Re: Tips to get a mint-as-possible original model F?
It can be very hard, depends on the firmness of the foam. I constructed a kind of wooden clamp that fits the curve of the plates, maybe others have some easier solutions. The spacebar mod itself is pretty easy however.

Re: Tips to get a mint-as-possible original model F?
Yes, that mod is necessary IMO. The spacebar is absurdly heavy otherwise, borderline unusable. Once modded it's fine, mine isn't loose or rattly in any way. I thought you were only looking at ATs, but my previous comments should apply to other model Fs as far as I know.

Re: Tips to get a mint-as-possible original model F?
Is there anything you can do about yellowed model F cases I am pretty sure AT cases can't yellow. There was some discussion at one point I think, that there might have been some AT cases made from a different material? Maybe? But the standard ones do not yellow as far as I know. I think that the fl...

Re: New ThinkPad Trackpoint Keyboard II
I don't think I have ever in my life used the pause or scroll lock keys. What do you guys use them for that's so critical?

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
That's just the compiled firmware, but the source code is available here - https://github.com/BASLQC/xwhatits-capsense-controller I didn't really spend any time on it swampangel, but if I get some free time I might take another look. Having an F62 on the way might give me more motivation, it would b...

webwit, I think that's just how the xwhatsit controller functions, I complained about this here a while ago when I installed one in my AT - https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20494&p=433522#p433522 It might be possible to make a custom firmware for the xwhatsit controller to fix this, but I...

Custom wrist rest
Hey all, just got done making a wrist rest to suit my F AT. I previously made a wrist rest to suit my FC660C, but that was much too short and narrow to suit the AT. I wanted to do this on the cheap, luckily I had some foam left from replacing the assembly foam in the AT, I realised that would make f...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
Are there any alternative 1.75u key legends? I tend to use the caps lock key as a function key, but a control legend would be fine too.

Re: Post a picture of your ideal keyboard layout!
Here's what I want to do with my AT, once the new caps from ellipse arrive. This will be pretty close to the perfect layout for me. https://shiftymcsly.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/keyboard-layout-3.png Note the compact nav cluster in the bottom right, I've been using that layout for ages on the home...

Strange, my other keyboard is a FC660C with hasu's replacement controller, which does not display either of these behaviours. I understand that #2 is pretty minor, and perhaps just a random result of the technical implementation, but #1 makes no sense to me, how would that ever be useful behaviour? ...

Problems with xwhatsit controller
Hey all, I got a model F AT a while back and couldn't get it working, so I ended up ordering an xwhatsit from orihalcon. It works, and I like the capsense software, but there are a couple of issues. 1 - key presses are re-sent when changing layers. Say I have a function key, that sets the keyboard t...

Thanks for the input guys! Here are some pictures, as I say, looks ok to me but I am no expert. The pcb is kinda warped as you can see in the last pic, but I don't think this would affect through-hole components much right? https://shiftymcsly.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/dsc000222.jpg https://shifty...

Model F AT not working
Hey all, I got an F AT off of ebay a few weeks back, but I've had no luck getting it going. The seller said it was working when he last used it, but that was over 6 months ago. I ordered a soarer's converter off ebay, but had no response from the keyboard when plugging it in, from looking at HID lis...

I couldn't think of a better name, so Kaehi it is! I wrote a detailed article on my blog about the process of creating this layout for those interested - https://elliotgeorge.net/2018/11/22/the ... rd-layout/

I’d call it Kaehi because I’m kind of simple that way and was disappointed to see neither Dvorak nor Colemak contain their own names! I was thinking the same, and the kaehi section of the layout is definitely the most distinctive, but it's also super ambiguous as to how it should be pronounced, whi...

Hey all, for a few months now I have been working on a new keyboard layout, and I think it's now complete! I got sucked into the layout wormhole after I started learning Colemak and just wasn't finding it comfortable. I created a scoring system that favoured movements I found to be comfortable, and ...
