It has arrived.

The Legendary...The Original Kishsaver.





















The Model F Kishsaver.

Typing on it.... everything else feels like mud compared to this beauty.
It feels like the Bugatti of keyboards and no wonder it holds the crown.

The keys are smooth like butter and the weight of the case it's built to last.
It really is the best keyboard I have EVER typed on.
--------------------------------------------------------
REPAIRING THIS KISHSAVER-

Some keys do not register, could be the controller or voltage.

Currently:

E, T, U, O, A (do not register)

M (sometimes registers)

` ~ key is mapped onto \ | key

\ | key mapped to ` ~ key

Shift + Keys works accept for the ones listed that don't register.

FN + 1-9 for F keys..Works.

------------------------------------------------------------
Videos Here testing the Kishsaver.

First video is typing QWERTY, displaying the keys not registering. Some typing at the end.
Probably voltage to be adjusted:
Second Video is freestyle typing side by side on the Kishsaver and IBM Model M SSK.
I type much faster on the Model F for sure. Model M is great but feels a bit more stiff.

Absolutely wonderful, hope the repair goes well

Good to see it arrived well. Have fun!

If anyone has a spare one of these and they happen to want either a 5k IPS monitor or an industrial ssk (both worth over a grand) then let me know and we'll make the trade. Seeing this made me drool

Looks beautiful. Best of luck on the repairs!

Congrats dude, nice keyboard, it's impossible to find a keyboard like this in China.

Iirc, these were all found in China (or was it HK?)

So maybe start digging around in recycling centers that get stuff from US.

I've never seen a single trace of Kishsaver...

Added some videos to first post.

Totally (almost totally) symmetrical design.

I expected a better setup from someone that comes across as having plenty of money. You need some new monitors and some studio monitors Duul, get to it!

It is a new place, that is next my friend.

I'll be selling my 5k IPS at some point so let me know if interested. Idk if your PC could handle it though.

I saw your specs in the other thread around here.

We have the same graphics card, ram and cpu. Very similar computers.

Already ordered an IPS on amazon, should get here soon.

But is it 5120 x 2880?

You can purchase one of Ellipses boards.

I purchased one a long time ago, I have a very low serial number. Not sure why you're suddenly talking about that though, I was asking if the monitor you bought was 5k? (in terms of resolution)

4K is good enough for me, don't need 5k. All good here.

haha 4k is so normal tier now, I thought you were rich

Congrats on the find. I would love to find one as well. Good luck on the repair.

Erm, I'm viewing this thread through a 1366*768 monitor right now.
