That looks very nice! Will you sell them via eBay again, or just here on DT, person to person?
Now I'm making a packing box. This new housing is very heavy. I'm worried that the freight sent abroad will be very expensive

Can’t wait for f122
There are many details of f122. I'm thinking about how to optimize it. My ideal effect is that the shell is all metal, including rotatable foot pads, fixed strips on the top and upper cover

I will remanufacture the shell of the vintage keyboard. The 3178 is also under consideration. If the 3178 also has big foot, would you like it

Pure white matches very well with the 5251 key cap, which is very good overall

Exactly! Would it be too much of a hassle to record a short clip or just the sound of you typing on the beast? I'm really interested in how it sounds like

Looks really nice, 300 is a lot of money for a case, I really hope the metal case for leading edge and 3178 cost less.

I like the design of f122 foot support very much. The current design retains the original foot support, but this means that you need to remove the foot support from the old outer shell when installing the new shell, which requires some manual labor and some difficulty
I will release the latest details of f122 metal shell later today
Thank you for your attention

Hmm you think the original support will be able to handle the weight of the new case?

Strictly speaking, I only made the top cover of the f122, and the others are intact
