If you need any more volunteers, I'm willing to help out. Have a displaywriter and a F122 which are ready to test. Somehow I missed this thread before and just stumbled upon it. Thanks for the offer! lot_lizard's package is supposed to be on my porch any day now, that should cover my beamspring nee...

Will the keycaps be available in the 2nd run also? I don't want to make any more changes to my already very difficult order.

OMG a low profile beamspring will be the end game switch for me,

I don't plan to make irreversible changes to any beamspring. The switches can easily be moved and then returned to the displaywriter without any damage. I had been thinking of creating an acrylic casing for the sandwich with a custom split pcb and then eventually a whole new case. Sent from my Nexus...

Oh my god! I've been mulling this over in my head for so long now. I just didn't have the tools to measure out the pads etc to design the PCB. I'd be down to help test anything if you are looking for test subjects. I have a displaywriter which I can source the switches from. What about the controlle...

Hmm. I will probably get my 2 displaywriters done. And perhaps an At if I get the time to cut the holes for ANSI layout.

I might be interested depending on cost. Again, since these parts should not be seeing much abuse and aren't usually visible, what would the value of this project be?

I'm assuming you are talking about the inner to plates and not the cases...

Also I was asked to offer a "Model F First Aid" kit which is now up and available to order: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product/f62-f77-first-aid-repair-kit/ Everyone feel free to choose free shipping to add this kit to an existing order. Here's the first draft product description on the web si...

Unfortunately, i only have one xwhatsit, ordered just 3 of each color LED, and i don't want to desolder a board just to mix green and white. I think lot_lizard has more than one controller, so he could probably get that picture. FYI, if you want to make your own, i have attached gerbers to this pos...

Nice! Very useful.

Do I need to fill this out even if I ordered them with the MF GB?

@Halvar any other beam spring than 5251?

Paid. Thanks!

Thought that was old. Looks like it was last updated in 2013

I am on the fence for ultra compact layout too. Waiting for a prototype.

Ordered 4 each

Oh sweet! I've been on the lookout for a couple of those.

Whoa... Can you switch my order of the XT style set to SSK blue? This is epic.

Are you trying to replicate the LED in the screen frame of old IBM Thinkpads? It used to be angled down to light up the keyboard to help when working in the dark.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

you will find this very useful https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/tutorial2.html basically, connect the LED to any pin and Gnd. But you WILL need a resistor between the pin and LED. the pin could be any which you can control in code including the numlock pin. the resistor value depends on the LED you are u...

They look like a good match to the original look, and the red is beautiful!

Wow. I'm in for the GB. The larger fonts on the F keys or not. Would like the larger font tho. Amazing work!

Count me in for 1 board at least and a couple of solenoid controllers too.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Yes, the brilliant white would look amazing. I'd prefer a non-OS specific icon or wording on the win keys. Meta and super are perfect.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm in for the custom keycaps. Love the Selectric look.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

$145 approx including shipping? are you shipping from europe or NA?

did i win?

I was looking at the expansion header of those compact xwhatsit controllers and was wondering - are there any non-IBM solenoids that you can buy today that can be directly driven by the xwhatsit controller and not needing the solenoid driver board? Maybe one that meets the power requirements, maybe...

Please announce it in this thread, in case we miss the new thread. Can't wait!

For the SSK we are still going for the phosphorglow mod with the LED under caps lock? I'm PMing Phosphorglow about what would be ideal to potentially support LEDs under every key. Whether or not it ever happens, we would still be setup so that the plates wouldn't need to be altered to support it at...
