until you prove me wrong with actual measurements of the switches bouncing times, i am convinced, that the debouncefilter is set to short, because someone wanted a little bit better response time..

you linked to a post by someone (with the same handle as you) on a pcb manufacturers website. is this a product you want to sell? if so, it would be in your best interest to be transparent.

As a long-time keyboard enthusiast, I recently picked up the ultra-compact SSK Model F from Model F Labs, and it’s been one of the most satisfying purchases I’ve made. Coming from a Unicomp Model M and Cherry MX Green boards, the capacitive buckling spring switches in the Model F offer a significantly more tactile, snappy, and metallic feel, standing out in both typing experience and nostalgic appeal. Despite some minor out-of-box issues like glue residue, a loose screw, and a USB-C port that could be better fitted, the overall build quality is stellar—the hefty anodized aluminum case is tank-like, the thick PBT keycaps feel premium, and the typing experience is second to none. Set-up was straightforward thanks to clear documentation, and customer support was fast and helpful. While it’s not the ideal choice for competitive gaming due to its polling rate and spring latency, it’s a superb tool for writing, coding, and general productivity. At $425 total including add-ons and shipping, it’s a niche but worthwhile investment for anyone who wants a modern take on a legendary keyboard switch with unmatched character, build, and typing satisfaction.

That’s an awesome take — and I really appreciate your detailed impressions. Personally, I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of reviving vintage tech with modern engineering, and the SSK Model F feels like a perfect example of that philosophy done right.

Thanks for your review and feedback!  Per my Google searching:  "USB-C ports are designed to have some flexibility to prevent damage from stress on the cable, but this can sometimes be perceived as a loose connection."  I have noticed that my USB-C devices are relatively less extremely tight fitting than my original USB type devices.  Level1Techs pointed out the advantages of original USB compared to USB-C in one of their Brand New Beam Spring Keyboard reviews and I tend to agree!

You never cease to amaze us. Good stuff V, this has a lot of time and dedication behind.

PD: incredible work by danny on the deskmat aswell 

wow nearly 3kg per side is chonky af. Is there a proto already? I'm glad we're getting more splits and especially unique ones at that so GLWIC! I really hope to see this irl someday

I've just added some photos of the prototype I took recently c: Super excited for you to see!
