You asked for it, you’ll get it…

Stay tuned for DT Secret Santa 2023!

Bump...

Only Snoopy claimed his stuff so far.

Absolutely NOT!

You think someone with the gall to offer people a keyboard for 28 thousand dollars really had more than one? ;)

I expect they had no takers, but liked the attention and reckoned they could just return to the same spot for another round of fishing another day…


All those who were watching the ...

Depends where they were willing to ship it to.

Re: the Kishsaver . Looks like they failed to sell it, but fancy another shot when they have more “stock.” I’d translate that to “bare faced cheek” and blind hope for some poor yet minted sucker to show up next time. :roll:


It says "out of stock".

I've had a talk with Ellipse over PM, but if he still has the model I want available past the end of the month (when his website implies he's closing orders)

where are you getting that info from if I may ask.

thats all I could find pertaining to "closing production"

EDIT ...

Thats an example with a model F type keyboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IemSc--XKA
I believe there were 3 typewriter models with F type keyboards.

That specific model has a model M type keyboard - a quick feel test will confirm that. There were a few older models that had the F style keyboard (IBM 85 for example).

Hahahahah

No, like, modding an actual model M with PCB.

Yes, plenty of people have done that. Lookup FSSK.

Absolutely !

The Model F, a vintage gem,
A keyboard from a bygone era, when
Technology was built to last,
With sturdy keys, and a satisfying cast.

With its mechanical switches, it sings,
A symphony of clicks and clacks, like the strings
Of a grand piano, with each keystroke
It tells a story, of a time long ago ...

Hopefully they will resume in future.

Now that's a bummer

AndyJ wrote: 12 Jan 2023, 16:14 Yes, but those are 1u caps. You can only get 1.5u caps with one of the legends on the order pick list. Alt-Gr isn't one of the picks.

Not true, you can email unicomp and they'll print what ever you want in any legend colour.

Unicomp can print whatever you want. Here's where you order a custom print

Thanks everyone for being so generous with your gifts!

I'd be happy to organize multiple "gifting" events throughout the year if there is enough interest...

I am still not sure why the F107 wasn't part of the build.


Ellipse answered that question on the Model F FAQ. An F107 would have cost A LOT more money than the F62 or F77.

I am still not sure why the F107 wasn't part of the build. The new beamspring repro on the other hand have all the key options, including a giant 122 key model.

All gifts have been received. Let the unboxing begin!!!!

Except for one, ALL gifts have been delivered. Thank you everyone for shipping on time.

The last message I received from OP regarding an item on sale was on Oct 27, no reply after that.

Everyone has shipped!

Updated the thread heading. Deliveries are expected starting today. You can already post pics of the sealed boxes. Pictures of the contents of the box/actual gifts should be posted on or after Christmas day.

Tracking numbers are due today. For those who've already sent them, a big thank you! I can see some folks will already start receiving their gifts tomorrow. Don't forget to wait until Christmas before you open your gifts...

As long as the Beamspring switches are reliant on a membrane it will not really be accessible as most enthusiasts don't know or have the resources to recreate a membrane for a custom layout.
Wait... What??

If I am wrong that's cool but at this moment in time I do not know how you would ...
