Title: Model F AT question
Post by: macguy80 on Thu, 09 February 2017, 21:31:48

So, I've read that the unmodded space bar on that board is considered heavy (a characteristic I did not mentally log the last time I used one).

Are we talking heavier or lighter than the Model M's space bar?

I ask because Model F's themselves are generally considered lighter than Model M's when it comes to the keys themselves.

Thanks!

yeah, the spacebars on model F ATs XTs and terminals are all heavy due to the stabilizer design. The wires in the stab can be tweaked to make it lighter, although that requires a disassembly of the board.
