So it's an 84-key rather than an 87? If so, what is it missing? The board on page 1 looked like a standard 87-key TKL so I'm unsure.

Hey, would it add delays if I were to add a solenoid to my order? I'm assuming this depends on whether extra stock was produced.

Also, is it safe to assume that would require both the solenoid and the solenoid driver on the store page?

You can get a full set of blue keys for $54.

What would be the best option if I want to get a set of blue mods to go with my (HHKB-layout) f62? Blue HHKB mod kit and add additional individual mod keys via customisations?

Think of it this way. You'd know for sure you have a unique keycap set.

Can I confirm I had two full sets with the hhkb add-on kit, one black on beige and one dark grey on black?

Party like it's 1983 or whenever Model Fs were made.

In case mine was picked for an upgrade: I would prefer to keep my original serial number choice.

So, assuming it's not too late to add a keycap set to my order, is "Printed dark gray" the black-on-black set?

Since it looks like the black-on-black keycaps are going to happen, do I need to order them by the end of July to have them combined with the rest of my order?

On a related note, if I ordered with a custom serial number but not an especially low one, do I get mine sent out according to serial number or is it between the lows and the regulars?

Where will you be using your brand new Model F keyboard? What kind of work/activities will you be using it for most (writing, coding, gaming, etc.)?

This will be my glorious daily driver once I get it.

One thing came to mind: Will the HHKB add-on set be available in black-on-black if this goes through?

If so, I need one of those as well.

1 set for this guy.

I'd be interested in black on black.

Would we ever know if someone literally drowned in flippers at the factory?

Ellipse, I will most likely be changing address soon. What is the best way to make sure the correct information is on my order?

Can you please tell me how much an F62 with the standard case weighs?

You should come visit me with the prototypes.

If I order an ultra compact case to combine with my initial order, will it cost more to add it to the shipment rather than shipping separately at a later date, and would it affect how long it takes to receive it?

I remember there being something about email updates on the site and I'm sure I signed up. What's happening with that?

And it's been a while so I've forgotten: Will ultra compact cases be available round1 or are they round2 only?

This will be a good Christmas present to myself (hopefully). No worries, should be worth the wait.

The compact cases are still round 2 only, right?

What does the timeline currently look like, by the way?

Would any of the ultra-compact case fans be interested in ordering a heavier zinc ultra-compact case of the same dimensions and design? Everyone's ultra compact case will still be aluminum - this is not changing. Just if anyone was interested in an even more solid keyboard case and prefers the ...

Well... I already bought caps from Unicomp but I would gladly buy the higher quality caps as well. Count me in.

And yes, I would like non-stepped caps and shift keys.

What is that, a Chicony?

Should also be able to do 1.5u backslash, 1.25u enter, and a 1u to the left of it right?

Not that I have any intention of doing so because that would be weird.

kubatyszko, the only major layout difference is the right shift. If you choose HHKB-style split right shift, you can't ever use a normal shift on it. If you go for normal shift, you can split it but the 1u will be on the left. The other keys have universal compatibility either way so you can switch ...

Yep, that's all you need to do.

Does it require a different PCB? I recall hearing something about needing a newer, smaller version of the whatsit controller to fit in the small case.
