Reply never works for me here so this...

I did a quick search for 'casting keycaps' and there are some on youtube I might give a go. This one looks promising.

"The Chyrosran22 keyboard has been mailed out!"

Nice!

The videos I've seen so far look great.

Is it too early to ask what is the status of the other models?

"so I don't see any need to wait for additional reviews"
Then you differ from me as I find Thomas' reviews of seemingly minor updates useful. I suppose I'm not alone in this regard.

So maybe I will get mine before 2027. Last year I got my Commodore Ultimate for Christmas. Maybe this year I'll get my B122.

No pressure, but my family has a habit of dying at age 60. And I turn 59 in a couple of weeks. So don't dilly-dally

To be clear, I've made peace with the fact that delivery of my board will most likely not be until sometime in 2027. But I should have a board that is almost perfect for me.

But I think it's fair that after 3 years in the queue we proactively be given an update blurb on a regular cadence. Weekly ...

I don't mean to be dense, but I don't understand the status from this post. Is it the status that we're still at the 100 completed reported last time?


DiscoMike the factory has completed the 100 or so B104's they noted last month. Now they are working on completing the remaining B104's and other ...

Am I alone in thinking that at this point in the process a weekly sentence or two on the status would be reasonable? If that's already posted somewhere, please let me know. Maybe I missed that.

Not that I live by the words of my project managers but as they are keen on saying, "Shoot me a status ...

I'm curious, what's the current status?

Anyone else feel like a 6 year old who has been waiting 3 years for Christmas?

I understand that those are double shot keycaps and that custom keycaps would be printed or dye sublimated or something similar. But I'm looking to get as close as I can given the limitations.


I agree. At this point I think the closest I can get is keycaps that match in color but have no ...

Did you ever get around to selling this? I've an FK-9000 just begging for one.

Is the correction to this a matter of, "Hey, add the holes when you create the prod runs" or does this need a new round of testing?

Well this is a nice surprise. God speed on the rest of the process.

What? They're not available for Prime same day shipping?

A couple of months have past since the last time I asked and I know you said you'd post an update when you have it. However, I've missed updates more than once in the past because I didn't ask.

So, is there an update?

Curious if this happened.

Ellipse wrote: 11 Sep 2024, 22:41 Nope - you could always make both keys right shift; most folks like that split key to be the Fn key for macros, shortcuts, media control, etc.

That reminds me, can you leave one of the switches out and use a long shift key cap sort of like how it is with model m and f?

I've moved. How to I update my address?

As we approach the last 3rd of the year, is there an update?

Thanks for the update. I have a b122 on order and am curious if the plan is for those to go out at about the same time as other layouts or will they come later?

I haven't seen an update in a while. Is there one?

Is this the best place to monitor for updates?

I've been doing work on Hercules with a real 3279 and its keyboard. It's been a revelation compared to my M122. The touch is much lighter, with a longer travel past the actuation point. I'm really, really hoping that the beam spring Ellipse is making feels just like it. I don't care about the ...

I know it's not mid year but I'm curious of there's an update.

Yeah, and my mainframe work needs all 24 F-keys...and the delete, end, PgUp, and PgDn keys are ones I use all the time.


As a fellow mainframer I agree. I also need the 10 f-keys on the side. Given the massive amount of "keyboard" space my monitors create. and the hassle of layers, I simply can ...

It's midway through January. I figure it's time for another update on round two.

You're quite welcome, though there are a lot of other folks who have put as much or more effort into it.

Was referring to your general mainframe work that has help me so much. Hercules is amazing, too.

Looking forward to finally getting it...in the meantime, I've acquired a real IBM 3279 with keyboard.

I said for a long time that the Model M, no matter how great people think it is, is just too heavy a touch for me. Playing with the 3279 refreshed me on what I actually liked. (I'm an old IBM ...

I have a B122 on order and am considering ordering an F122 but would like to know how long is it taking for model F122s to ship. I did some searching but didn't see anything.
