Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
Looks great! Stupid question: what type of overlays are being used for the lock lights? I remember this coming up previously but I couldn’t remember if the plan was to use the Unicomp current layout or the original IBM model M layout. It looks like the original Model M lock light layout, which is g...

Re: Key switch -> WPM: What's your fastest switch?
I think that actually brings up a decent point due to how notorious Gateron Blues are: at what point is comfort worth losing out on your WPM? I'm not a typist, nor do I code for a living. Feel, sound, and overall looks of a keyboard are more important than typing speed for me. Therefore I have the ...

Re: I spilled coffee on my new Mini M
It may be worthwhile to ask Unicomp if you can buy a new barrel assembly and install it yourself. It will be cheaper than having them repair it and it isn't a difficult operation.

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
I too would like a "navclusterless" keyboard like the one JCMax posted since the nav cluster maps nicely onto the numpad . The 5X2 block on the left would be cool too, but not totally necessary.

Re: Post your keyboard/keycaps!
As someone who daily drives an F122 I can confirm that there is a Soarer's converter especially for that terminal connector. A converter for an F AT won't fit. It's also super convenient to be able to remap all of those glorious keys. You can contact orihalcon and he may be able to sell you one. Enj...

Re: model M screw mod technique
I've done a few screw mods. When done correctly it can be very sturdy, but probably not as strong as a bolt mod. It's my go-to repair for a barrel assembly that's missing some rivets. If almost all rivets are gone, a flipper needs repositioning, or a membrane needs replacing I do a bolt mod. This sc...
