It is iconoclastic and beastly - the weight, the noise, mechanical hysteresis - in ways that might make it unsuitable for you.

So should I buy it or not? lol

Complete I guess.

Pre-built.
--- Quote from: HungerMechanic on Fri, 06 December 2024, 13:46:29 ---Yes, the new Model F is possibly the most luxurious available in-production complete keyboard. There are also the UNICOMP Model M keyboards.

Thanks. I hope the Model F is more luxurious than Unicomp.
fohat.digs:
The original Model M was designed to be an extreme cost cut from the Model F, and to over-simplify there is a lot of plastic where there used to be metal and mylar membranes where there used to be a capacitive PCB.
The new Model F re-creations by Ellipse are lovingly made and, theoretically improved. Metal cases are just one example.
But is 4 kg too heavy? Are clicking switches too obtrusive?
There are no hard answers to questions like that.

The "Model M" layout Model F is apparently made from powder-coated cast aluminium...

Massive advantages in my book. I'm glad that the modern Model F also doubles as a weapon.

Did you end up going with a model F and if so how do you like it?
