[GB] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! Kishsaver+Industrial Model F
Ellipse:
With permission I am sharing another unique setup - the F104 in Industrial Gray with a Big Enter key and a mix of other Wheelwriter and other keys. The user notes that the big enter key can be installed regularly without having to remove the spring of the | \ key below the backspace (just disable the key in Vial).
This year I hope to resume the projects for the 3 additional keys (Big Enter, ISO Enter non-stepped, Code) and for the pad printed keys now that the backlog is wrapping up.

Update:
As requested, I am letting folks know that the gray USB-C cables are back in stock and are able to be ordered once more.

The same person who sent me the above photo has also posted a video detailing mods they were looking to do for their new F104.
They actually designed 3d printed feet for the keyboard after considering XT style flip out feet for the F104.

We have a terrific and helpful new Model F keyboard review that was just posted today.
This is a great video to help folks make a decision if they are considering various keyboards and why the Model F is so special and unique. It also explains the difference between QMK and Vial, and how powerful and easy to use the software customizations are for these Vial-powered Model F keyboards.
The review also discusses the pros and cons of the new Model F keyboards, and an analysis of the pricing and value compared to other offerings on the market.
My video comment continues below:
You have a good way of explaining the different sounds that the keyboard makes, differentiating between the sound of the flipper contacting the large capacitive PCB when a key is pressed, the vibration of the spring after the key is released, and the less-desirable buzzing of a spring against the keycap, which can be quickly fixed as you mentioned.
Just a note - the F62 and F77 boards usually come with QMK but can be flashed to Vial, but you can now add an order note for me to flash the board to Vial for you, before it ships to you. No boards shipped with Via firmware, though it was offered for a short time as an alternative firmware. Flashing the keyboard to Vial allows everyone to adjust the keymapping and other settings without needing to reflash the firmware.
And so as not to scare anyone, the part of the video about pressing the f key as a shift is due to a custom mod of the keyboard, not the factory default behavior. The keyboard does not ship this way; the keyboard ships with normal keys without mods so that hitting the f key sends the f signal to the keyboard as with any other key.

There is now an additional LED overlay option: ISO 9995. This was a special order from a while back but now it is open to the public for orders. There are about 30 remaining of this design.
