Yeah, the Thorpie disease has bitten me hard (for many years). Could not ignore them anymore, using 55g everywhere now within my home. The feeling of pressing those precise keys and getting that subtle kick back from the 55g, is what makes this tech so appealing. Tried to use my son's HHKB but could...

This was an amusing thread to discover whilst looking up Topre reviews. Thorpies will always be another realm of Keyboards, that shall indeed attract anyone looking for a strange experience :D . Currently, enjoying a standard 55g full sizer, won't bother buying anything else now since being absorbe...

If you want an investment buy some index funds.

Bond Markets are extremely risky and not worth anyone's money nor interest. Have not wasted any of my own money with any of that overestimated junk-bonds.

Best investment ever in 2021 and beyond - is in real Bitcoin and F77s .

Got the shipping notice last week, so I'm a little hesitant about receiving the F77. Might even leave it inside it's box, to keep it 100% authentic with no other contact than from Ellipse when he set it up for me. It's one of those purchases that goes down as a future investment when this whole manu...

Pity no leds were ever supplied with the F77 keyboard .

Would have been nice having that rather basic feature, especially for how much it costs.

Just noticed you've used this already but I had a White one, from two years ago that I never used much. The LEGO surrounding was the turn off for me simply because I have never liked that awful toy and what it stands for. Sometimes if a company wanted to sell something, don't include irrelevant desi...

I purchased an Apex Pro keyboard because I was curious about it. I have never before used a hall effect keyboard or a linear switch keyboard. Was going to but completely forgot about it due to the current Xmas spending on pallets of booze and food. Still having a yearly celebration despite this Cov...

Delay after delay on and on and then, months later when it finally arrives it turns out you have accidentally ordered the MX Speed switch version. Sounds like you've been shopping with Amazon here :D . They love to extend receival of goods to near indefinitely because they are unable to get anythin...

Hi Elrick, I have created a photo album of various new Model F keyboard combinations so far: https://imgur.com/a/gw8FOl0 Not sure if you saw my recent posts but we got some great results with the sublimated keys finally - well worth the wait to get the keys sublimated this nicely! We are not done y...

Excuse my complete ignorance here in relation to colours that are available for the F77 keyboard case ; BUT is their any links showing the REAL colours that are offered for the Aluminium Casing within the F77 division? Need to place another order, this time for an Aluminium Case Model-F. Sorry for t...

Wondering how they compare to Zaelios v2s. Do they feel simular? Have both the Holy Panda's from DROP (regrettable) and the Zealios V2 'Silent Tactiles'. Like the Zealios V2 Silents, simply because you get the feel but extreme 'smoothness' for an MX junk switch :D . So the MX switch, hack-jobs are ...

Thanks for the heads up on this so-called, new Model-M :lol: . For a split second I thought their new SSK was in your hands. Nevertheless it still bodes well that Unicomp are still making Buckling Spring Keyboards, during 2020. The cost is so cheap compared to most other keyboards, that now ALL use ...

Why they're using a proprietary firmware is beyond me. Because they have already used it before hence no money to spend on anything else. This is a company that likes to spend little on everything so it can remain in business. Totally understand their dilemma. Just use a tmk/qmk firmware and preven...

Think I bought one of those about three years back, new in it's own packaging. Still somewhere down stairs in the basement. Bought a lot of those XT styled layout keyboards but could never use them effectively and don't want to turf them out into land fill as of yet. Nice to know that this keyboard ...

Ellipse's signature inside the case would have been cool. Understated but awesome like signatures inside some early computers (Amiga?) Wouldn't mind seeing Ellipse's REAL signature, on the casing instead. Always value the REAL effort gone into the project, instead of 'make-believe' PR stories (the ...

@scarpia, would love to see a pic of yours with that ibm badge Here are a few pics: https://imgur.com/gallery/u57xHAs https://i.imgur.com/1QwG8O5.jpg Would rather see the REAL creator of this keyboard and his name Ellipse . Hence I shall never disregard all his efforts by using another, failed comp...

What's so funny? Scams are serious business. That's why I warned everyone that it was a scam :| If you think that buying a REAL keyboard today, on Flebay gets you that item, then you've been smoking too much whacky tabacky ;) . Far better to buy from here within the DT forums, than waste your time ...

You think the legends are what makes Razer awful? Ha!

Legends, Keys, Stabs, cheapo casing, junk supplied software called SYNAPSE .

Yeah, if you actually think Razer Corp(se) is worth the money in owning and using them, then why are you here on DT?

"Ugliest Legends even Uglier"

That quote alone is worth remembering for every single Razer keyboard, that was ever made.

Thank you for once again, showing what an awful Company this truly is. Kudos for this.

From unicomp's facebook:
We are frustratingly close but, under duress, marking time right now. I can assure you no one wants to ship this product more than us!

Maybe keep it, until 2021.

Hoping next year will be better, going by my own 'delusions' here .

Such a shame that Massdrop dropped the ball here in regards to funding a working Hall Effect Keyboard development that needed more support. Instead, they only bothered to launch a couple of Group Buys and laid it to rest. Thinking there was no need to approach a new Keyboard Technology for 2020 and ...

I will only consider the alternative powdercoating maybe towards the end of the final round and will not be offering upgrades.

Great to know, thanks.

Anyway, going back to the topic, unicomp engineers don't want to fix a flaw discovered 30 years ago. That's laziness. It's probably an indicator of a state of mind that involves other products too? Like I said, they're content in being a 3-Legged Dog, to limp along forever more :( . Almost like the...

Not perfect, granted, but I'm far from wanting to hope for their business to go under... I certainly don't want them to disappear forever. Hoping at least they start caring about producing quality gear, also waiting for any forthcoming releases from them That is where they will sink or swim upon it...

My silver badge industrial M from 1985 is the silky smoothiest model M or buckling spring for that matter that I own. I enjoy the feel of it even more than my various F including an AT, 122 and 107. Wouldn't mind paying for a new Unicomp Keyboard IF they increased the thickness of the Backplate, Us...

Um... completely disagree. I love Unicomp. I'm super glad they exist. We need more people like yourself, if Unicomp can stay alive. I've bought cables, cases, badges, caps and so many random parts from them that saved me. Besides, they are always doing little things the better their products. Yes, ...

I don't own a Unicomp, but yes, Unicomps are of a lower quality. Hence why they sell so cheap, even during 2020. They produce a substandard product in which much earlier versions made decades ago, still demand higher pricing then what they produce today in their factory, so unfortunate. Would like ...

I wish more sellers would do that, most never drop their prices

It's the Covid-19 Greed being extolled here.

BEST gouge the max pricing on everything, before you die .

Because it's a Razer branded product, best deposit into your local bin, immediately. Yeah, was never a fan of anything from this disgustingly bad company, only being kept alive with PR Gaming that it spends huge amounts on. Your old Leopold keyboard is STILL far better in look and quality, especiall...

- IBM JX PC 5511 keyboard, with box but missing the foam. Alps SKCL Green switches, I think? They feel so nice that I'd keep the keyboard as my daily driver if I could figure out how to convert it to USB. The keyboard part number is 6454042. https://i.imgur.com/uuJ3F7B.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mQQQE...
