There you go, a review of my Model F battleship ^^ . This one took a lot longer to make than the other videos so far; I hope you enjoy it :) .
-
Very good review. Also the sound comparison was good.
Really enjoyed it.
thanks.
(I love F)
-
Cheers mate, glad you liked it! :)
-
duuude that was one of the best keyboard reviews I've ever seen. loved the side by side sound and weight comparisons with the m as well as your diagrams explaining how the switches work. Model F ftw! thanks for the vid!
-
Absolutely loved the video! If you take requests for the future I'd like to see:
- Matias Quiet Linear switch review. I've already tried these but I'd like to see your point of view.
- HP 3758 keyboard; it's a vintage rubberdome; but many regard it as extremely well made and is as close to Topre as possible.
-
Thanks guys, it's stuff like that that makes it all worth it :) .
I don't have any Matias linears yet, last I checked they didn't sell loose ones yet (I don't have money for a whole keyboard). As for the HP, I'll keep my eyes open :) .
-
That was great. Thanks for doing it.
BTW, how did you get Benedict Cumberbatch to narrate it for you?
-
Excellent review!
I noticed you press space with the index finger - is that due to the broken space bar clips, or just a habit you have?

Yeah this weirded me out.

Very impressive voiceover! I think that's what held me the whole time. British accents just make everything better on the other side of the pond, lol.
I haven't heard the sound of a F in almost 30 years since I last used one in typing class back in high school, and I loved the comparison between the F M and alps.
I learned quite a bit about the capacitance model, and that part was VERY educational and well-done.
Overall, a very well done review. Your voice is totally awesome. I would seriously audition for commercial work, movies and the like. I could easily see your voice being used on the radio or a documentary.

Just a habit, I'm a pretty **** typist xD .

HAHA LOL XD

Haha cheers mate - and I'm not even British! XD

Oh I'd love to do voice work. Bit busy with my PhD to go job hunting for it right now, but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity if it presented itself :) .

Fooled me! So you're either in one of the old British commonwealths or you just picked it up (I'd love to do this). Still a solid accent. I bet the ladies swoon. And phd to boot. Yep, they swoon. Find one that swoons at the sight of your keyboard collection and that's a keeper. ;)

Oh I live in the UK, I moved here for the PhD, but English isn't my first language at all. I've yet to find someone who swoons at the sight of my keyboards, though xD .

Your command of the language is excellent--I would have never guessed. I haven't found one that swoons either (and the search has stopped since I have a wonderful wife), but like these perfect keyboards, a perfect woman exists!

I don't know why, but that's just so badass to me. :thumb:

Is the 122 the same feel as the XT? My AT doesn't feel as crisp and light as the XT...
-
I don't know, this is my first model F :) . If the feel degraded over time probably not though - this one is from '86 so it's so new that they were already making Model Ms for a year xD .

Awesome review. Sums up pretty much everything I like about the F122.
