I only notice it now, but that unsaver in the picture is not a Model F
Anyway, myoth, the unsaver in the pic, on the fifth row, with the red ESC key, should be an F, right?

That's indeed an F.

I have a new daily driver, a Model F XT that I got NOS:

AT has been my daily driver for the past three months, or since I finished the conversion. Hard to see anything else taking its place. In fact my interest in the hobby has gone down since I got it.
Seems kinda pointless to get anymore keyboards after it.

Just bit scared that Department 55 finds out that I have their property and takes it back.

Great mod, conservative but effective at the same time. My congrats with you. I myself am in F AT mood at present. Although mine lost its very long bar.... Would you mind to share here your soarer's remap file? Thanks

Its real messy.

First time I did Soarer's remap file and I kind of just kept adding stuff to it.

EDIT: and even messier due to my inability to format it correctly on this forum.

I can't believe it was THIS EASY to convert my laptop's shitty keyboard into a cool one!

So, what is cooler than an F122 with an impossibly cool badge? An F122 with TWO impossibly cool badges!

I've had someone claim in one of the comments that the vintage board I was reviewing (I think it was something F&F) was bad because "old keyboards can't have NKRO".

Best one has to be a comment in a video about a really shitty vintage board where they went "you can't blame it for being shit, it's from before they invented mechanical keys, what did you expect"

I had a friend who bought a HyperX Alloy and was convinced that it was "tanky af" and could withstand being bashed, because of the "metal design". He also said those "old spring switches" in IBM keyboards were shit

why would a person or bot or whatever make an account just to copy and paste what the OP said 4 months ago?

To look innocent on the forum spy. Then, later, to edit their post with a spam payload we won’t notice.
