Brand New Model F June 2025 Update: user reviews and photos, F122 and beam spring production, new design plans (Split Ortho, Planck, Preonic, F20, Kinesis, etc.), reorganized

It looks to me like someone tried a ham fisted approach to dealing with spam or scraping of the site by limiting access to pages only if you come from certain pages on this site. My current workaround is to go to the Spy section first and then go to other parts of the site from there, which seems to

Update on beam spring inner foam:
Everyone can now order an extra beam spring inner foam set at the below link, which has been updated today to add this item. Same as with the Round 1 beam spring first aid kit, extra inner foam was not a part of the kit as it was with Model F First Aid Kits, so it

I cannot help with your question, but I just want to mention that the keyboard is absolutely beautiful!

I am trying to set up a macro on a shifted key on my F122. On my M122 with soarer's converter it was all done via programming. I really like how easy Vial makes things, but I am not sure how to set up a Macro that should only activate when a key is pressed together with Shift.
Can anyone help?

Joe from Model F Keyboards kindly provided a new firmware from Rico that fixed the issue✌️. It changed the suspend_wakeup_delay setting. Apparently this is the first case like this. My best guess is that it has to do with my Lenovo.

I just saw your post. Did you ever find the NCR keyboard? I have one. My husband used to work for NCR and has the exact keyboard. If you found one, do you mind saying how much you paid for it? If not allowed please disregard.

Thanks!

Just don't use this often enough to warrant keeping it. In good shape as it's been lightly used and not moved around often. Asking $190 USD + Shipping

Ok, here is the "after pics of the ADB cable.

Yep it's a whole other dimension. I wouldn't be into them except for, as a kid ('80s-'90s) we couldn't afford a PC. My mom found a working Underwood #5 at a garage sale ($10), it was fascinating to figure out how the mechanism worked. Later I earned some money to buy a Smith Corona electronic typewriter.

I changed my van's desk setup a bit since my last post. I changed keyboards; its a Model M 122 with a 1988 1392145 sticker on its back, but that is clearly not what it is; I have another such keyboard on my home computer, and they have a DIN180 plug and 1988 style mounting plate; this one has a gold

Thanks for that information, Elipse.

I retrobrighted several AEKs and the logo never faded 🤷‍♂️

Hi all,
I'm looking to buy the original Razer Destructor mousepad — the version released around 2007–2008 with the hard textured surface (not the Destructor 2 or Destructor Medium). Condition doesn't need to be perfect, just functional and not overly worn down.
Details:
Used or new is fine

I've messaged you on Discord!

Would love to sell this Hatsuko Electronics HEKB01 I got a long time ago and that has since been sitting in a box.
Open to all kinds of offers. Currently looking for Tandy/Tandon 3000 FLS or Zenith ZKB-2r.

The keyboard is currently in my families house

Hi Browncow. I found 3 of these keyboards in the trash at work. I am looking to convert them to bluetooth as well and use one for my HTPC, and give the other 2 to friends/family. I want to do this a little differently though. I'm going to make a drop in replacement for the microcontroller daughter board

Hope they add more colorways. I wish they would make an ISO-International kit 😅
