Leyden Jar update:
Rico has just published the open source Leyden Jar diagnostic tool.  Now all the project files are ready for future development work to add support for additional keyboards, maybe even non-Model F / beam spring keyboards!

There was a discussion on lost/stolen keyboards over on DT.  At least one board did end up being returned which was listed on eBay. The seller was a third party that did not realize the provenance and was fully cooperative. Even if the serial is defaced that would be a giveaway that the board is suspect. I log who gets each serial so I can confirm the board is ok. Some people thankfully have been contacting me to check that a particular listing is legit.

I believe here is the list of currently lost/stolen keyboards, though it may not be 100% correct:
F62 110
COMPACT F77 72219** (last two digits hidden for privacy)
F77 1142
F77 225
F77 1155
F77 1849
F77 208
COMPACT F104 11
COMPACT FSSK 193

Types of keyboards to look out for if the serial is not pictured (another key set from what is listed below may have been substituted):

Compact FSSK Black


Compact F104 Black
Regular printed key set (US ANSI layout)


Classic F77 Split Right Shift and Split Backspace Layout
Industrial Gray
Regular printed key set (US ANSI layout)


Classic F77 Standard (ANSI or ISO) Layout
Black


Classic F62 Split Right Shift and Split Backspace Layout
Black
Black Unprinted (ANSI Enter - no ISO Enter)


Classic F77 Split Right Shift and 2U backspace Layout
Industrial Gray
Regular printed key set (US ANSI layout)


Classic F77 ANSI Layout
Industrial Gray
Regular printed key set (US/ANSI layout)


Compact F77 ANSI Layout
Black
Regular printed key set (US/ANSI layout)

This is even more unrealistic than the Kyubi IC and I hope you stop it right here and stick with normal buys instead of silly moonshots

We understand. If you are concerned about the bundle sale, you can keep an eye on limited in-stock sales in the future after the GB end and delivery.

Will the switches be available separately from the keyboards? Interested in getting the keygeek and bsun switches.

Yes, we will offer the limited in-stock sale after the GB ends. But the price will be higher than GB's. The individual in-stock price of these items will be higher because selling them individually will raise many jobs and costs. I hope you can understand.

How often do we see keycap sets offered today with the kind of layout flexibility that the old 7-bit group buys used to offer? In settling on the Model M color scheme as the basis for keycap sets, we've sacrificed flexibility in favor of reduced cost (and production time). Maybe that's a reasonable trade-off for most folks, but I'm sure glad I got all my Round 6 CADET and HONEY keycaps when I did.

I feels like we make assumptions based on what's trendy, not what people actually use/need. It's one thing if the IC decides to remove an under-loved kit, but it's another if they don't offer the kit to begin with.

IMO every set should have full TKL coverage with mandatory 40s, fullsize, and ISO kits with no MoQ threshold. It's frustrating to shop for new sets and have to rule out most options just because your keyboard is smaller than 60% or larger than 75%

Hey I've seen this episode before
