Tempest790:
Glad to see everything is coming together.

In terms of next steps, next is to approve the beam spring samples, finish the F122 assembly, and some small batch projects like an updated split ortho and Planck style boards, both with Rico's Leyden Jar controller (I hope for UART communication between split halves and PS2 support for the Leyden Jar controller which was being looked into).
The most important thing though is to try to get the word out about these old style keyboards that have already been made - if anyone can help that would be great! Many of the earlier projects' reviewers are waiting for a new model to be sent out.
Any other next ideas?
With permission, I wanted to share another nice setup with a custom coiled USB cable and a powered USB switcher hub that appears to be working well with the F77 (unpowered hubs tend to cause issues). The coiled cable adds a nice touch.
"The mouse is a Lofree PBT Touch, I coiled the cable myself (wrap tightly around wooden dowel, secure with masking tape, treat with a heat gun), and the hub is actually a USB 3 switch to toggle between my PC and Mac. Made by RSH Tech"

I have finished taking photos of some of the new F104 and FSSK variations. I will soon be uploading to the project web site.
Full-resolution photos can be viewed at this imgur album link: https://imgur.com/a/EIebi75
The first photos in the album are the F104, followed by the FSSK, and finally the most recent beam spring B104 sample.
Below are a few F104 samples:

Here is a nice, detailed new Model F review that was posted this week on its own thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123701.0
And here's a clear photo of the classic zinc case F62 Kishsaver that was just posted on reddit. This one has the Mac Text keys installed:

Now that Classic F104/Classic FSSK low serial orders have started shipping, just a reminder to check your junk folder in case the shipping confirmation email ends up there. This has happened a number of times from what folks have told me.
We also have the first videos featuring the new dye sublimated Model F badges! From the same F62 poster above. For all models, these badges can be placed on any flat area of the case, whereas the F122 has a recessed spot for a badge. They are adhesive backed and have a protective clear film on the front which should be removed.
