[GB] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! Kishsaver+Industrial Model F
Ellipse:
The shipping container was loaded today! Over 5 tons! This is the 5th container shipment of the various keyboard projects.
This time we have all the Model M style F104/FSSK and various other parts and key sets. The F122 and Round 2 beam spring keyboards will be on the next container shipment in the next couple months once they are completed.
As with the previous container shipments we have some photos of the loading. This one was too big for the 20' but the 40' container was not completely packed like last time. Hopefully it will be loaded on a ship departing later this week if all goes well.

Yay! Glad to see them finally coming.

Here's another customer image, this time of the Industrial SSK 12 key set installed on a Unicomp Model M keyboard as well as on an F77 in Industrial Gray:

With permission I am posting a nice custom setup of the F15 split ergo keyboard. There are still a few of these available to order.
Please do keep sharing photos of your new Model F and new Beam Spring setups! All kinds of custom mod projects are exactly what I am hoping to see more of.
This custom mod setup focuses on making things as solid and with as little movement during operation as possible, tenting the keyboards using custom cut pieces of solid wood so that everything stays in place. I have copied the description below:
"(1) Tents: Hand / chop saw cut out of 2x8 pine. Sanded and spray painted black
(2a) Black Rests: Hand / chop saw cut out of 2x4 pine. 1/8 inch board bases. Glued. Shaped with a wood shaper tool. Sanded and spray painted black
(2b) Wood Rests: Hand / chop saw cut out of 2x4 pine. 1/8 inch board bases. Glued. Shaped with a wood shaper tool. Sanded. Stained. Spray painted lacquer. Fine sanded and polished.
(3) Keycaps: Mix of Unicomp and New Model F keycaps"

APL Key Set Model F XT Quality - draft - combining Unsaver, Model M, and other APL layout styles
As requested, here is the APL key set that I hope to add as an ordering option for the new Model F XT quality key sets. As with the other key sets like JIS, any front printing has moved to the top of the key.
I have compared several sites (listed below) discussing and showing photos of the various APL layouts and have added some keys to allow for both ANSI and ISO style APL layouts (though the Unicomp ISO Enter key will currently be only available separately).
What is the best color for the APL legends? I chose an orange that I expect will appear slightly faded or lighter than what is shown here.
The margins look tight but they will be the same as the Russian-Hebrew-English set posted a while back; a good amount of space on the left and right sides of the key tops.
In terms of alignment I wanted to keep it consistent with Zed's right alignment on various sets including Russian-Hebrew-English, though the originals seem to have mostly been left aligned at a line slightly to the right of center of each key top.
Please let me know if there are any errors or recommended adjustments with this set before the file is sent to the factory for production.
The key sets can be ordered from the Full Key Set product page on the project web site - just pick the APL option as all of them from now on will be this new production set.
