Title: Help With Model F AT Alt ANSI/Model M spacebar Mod
Post by: TooSpooky on Sat, 14 January 2023, 02:49:52

Hello,

Could anyone by chance point me in the right direction on how to do the model m spacebar mod with two alt keys?

I currently have an already pre ANSI modded (aside from the spacebar) model f at I purchased.

I’m very new to modding keyboards let alone buckling springs and model f’s so detail is very helpful haha.

Also looking to lighten the spacebar as well if that already isn’t done in the process. I think I’ve seen people do it a few different ways.

Am I correct in assuming I primarily need to just find a model m spacebar and order two barrels and flappers from modelfkeyboards or is there more needed parts wise?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

Here's how I did mine for an AT-SSK: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52379

My main reference was this thread and all the threads it references: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48288.0

Hello,

Looking at Wcass's thread it seems that the pictures are missing. Would anyone by chance have them saved somewhere? Still seems to have some decent writing on it though.

Interesting. For me it says attachment invalid or does not exist on WCass's thread. Appreciate the links though, lots of good info.
