deskthority

I had one is this colourway at one point, think i ended up donating it to my old work before moving abroad. Not a bad dome keyboard, ive always thought the HP KU-1156 and the HP with the silver top were both far better though. The dell was a bit more mush.

Best dell ones imo were the ones included ...

Why would anyone share font info with you when you don’t share anything with the community?

Bellend.

Or maybe you could put your own money into researching your own products issue ellipse instead of asking people to reach out to engineer contacts lmfao. Quit expecting people to work for free for you, only to spit back in their face when they ask you for product specs.

The only person responsible for this shit show is Webwit, surprised he hasn’t been banned already.

Yeah yeah Ellipse did the unimaginable horror of... *checks notes* ... creating a small business to sell new F and beamspring keyboards to enthousiasts. And he offered hosting with like a working wiki. You are really good in picking your battles. So the conclusion is you rather wanted DT to die ...

Shame you campaigned against Ellipse taking over. How did that work out for you, eh? Good job.

Literally no one wanted to give money to Ellipse so he could buy DT lmfao, he could’ve bought it out of his own pocket but he's far too greedy for that, you are so incredibly tone deaf.
We had one ...

Heavy F62 HHKB user, almost 4 years daily driver, still going strong.


Shame your website isn’t going strong, guess things go to crap when you’re a greedy asshole that sells to the highest bidder vs someone that gives a shit.
Understandable why you defend ellipse so much, your personalities are ...

I know, but please have it in your own thread because your contributions aren't wanted

Lol I'll post wherever I choose, appreciate the recommendations though.

Well it’s a good job that free speech is a thing then isn’t it? Had joe bought deskthority we would probably be banned by now.
I don’t really care that you want to keep up with the latest updates, you’re perfectly capable of scrolling, and we do not have to move our discussions elsewhere, that’s ...

Can't a moderator split out all discussions about how horrible Ellipse is to a new thread so this one can be kept on topic?


My posts are not about "Model F Labs" representative. This is just one of the examples to be considered.
Please do not make it personal. It is not.

Having said the ...

Ellipse is that u?

There’s always some that seem to be above the rules. Not sure why the mods haven't even addressed this though, model f labs hasn’t been a group buy for years, he only wants to keep it in that section so his thread can be found more easily.

Finding his thread isn't an issue for anyone though, its ...

He can be pressured into offering a single refund, but trying to make him a decent person?!? Good luck with that one

Ellipse, this may well be your thread, but this isn't your forum (despite your begging for people to fund it for you!), and we are free to bring up as many old (though relevant) posts. But thanks for the advice I guess?

You actually have the nerve to suggest that peoples typing styles are to blame ...

Model F: Built to Last for Decades, Not Years

So what, this is just a lie then I guess? Similar to the never ending...
'1/31/25 please have your orders in by then!

I don't think you've ever acknowledged the moving cut off date before? Is it because you'd have to acknowledge your scummy ...

Massdrop was different because they are a 3rd party. This fight is way over the top - Ellipse is a single person small business who works hard, he is not a big company like IBM in its former glory. It's like attacking your local bakery as if it were an evil big corp. And if you disagree, there's a ...

So ellipse you say that level of wear is unusual, yet you make no offer to replace the case or offer compensation?
I hope people start seeing what you are truly like after this.

Queue the bullshit from ellipse which will sound something like

“Wow that’s a nicely patina’d board you have there resonator! You know the original IBM keyboards (of which I have restored many) they too had chipped paint over their 40 year lifespan of being used in banks. We managed to put less ...

I'm wondering, is anyone else's keyboard looking as raggity as mine? This is after about 9 months of daily use.

2025-01-03-21-37-19-037.jpg


This is only 9 months of use!?!?!???! What the actual fuck, there’s barely any paint left.

Absolutely unacceptable. You need to be compensated for this ...

im convinced now that there's one guy with 10 sock accounts that is going around and shitting up all the threads on the forum with this anti ellipse crusade and it's honestly sickening.

please stop.


Hardly… I've been here for over 8 years, and im one of many calling out the bullshit instead of ...

Ellipse please address why you were threatening to ban people before editing it out of your comment. Are we are not allowed to be vocally opposed to your terrible business practices.
Is this what you’ll be enforcing should people buy deskthority on your behalf?

Also still waiting for you to ...

Ellipse to really dumb things down for you since apparently this is needed.

You began as a group buy when multiple people put in money so you could hit MOQ in chinese factories to bring the cost down, and no doubt to assist with the cost of research and development.

That is now over. You formed a ...

Ellipse will you consider apologising for shitting on other members by advertising in someone elses beamspring project thread? Still waiting for an answer on this

Ellipse’s did start as a group buy but it’s obvious that its now a business and he has become a keyboard vendor. There’s no sign of this ‘group buy’ ever ending, despite the ‘have your orders in by x’ bullshit.

I think its only fair to move the Model F repro thread to its appropriate vendor section ...

Interesting, I don't think most of these guys are active anymore. Even Mu has gone quiet

I'd just like to point out that Ellipse edited his long post of BS to remove his threats to start getting people banned / appropriately disciplined by moderators. As far as I know the only reason mods stepped in was because a PM was mistakenly shared that revealed Ellipse to not be interested in ...

I guess ellipse reported you cos he really doesn’t want people knowing he’s a greedy douche. Telling you ‘no its all mine haha do one’ is far easier in a PM.

This means all knowledge in recreating these keyboards will be lost to history once again.


IIRC Ellipse had mentioned years ago that when these projects are complete he would write a book detailing the production process and lessons learned from the success and failures (I don't know if this ...

Does the classic style FSSK use the same powder coating as the F77? There was mention a few million pages back about possibly switching to a more modern and durable coating. I love my F77, but the powder coating didn't last a year before it started to come off. It's easily the biggest ...
