Keyboards / Re: Full Size Keyboards
« Last post by Riverman on Tue, 28 July 2026, 22:26:17 »on another note, what do you need the F keys for in a terminal?It's an IBM mainframe terminal that dates from the days when IBM keyboards had 24 PF keys. It uses them to switch screens, scroll, and select items. The terminal software we use uses either shift or control plus F1-F12 to give us access to the other PF keys above 12.

One suggestion to make is adding a proper XT F Column like found on the IBM Model F XT/AT. That would make this set great on boards with an XT Column like the Ion Zenith and 6.xx

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK+122+62 Reproduction Project! now shipping
« Last post by Ellipse on Tue, 28 July 2026, 21:50:51 »Production update:
I've been working with the factory for more than 10 years now and they know what is expected, so they are good to check to see how to proceed if an issue comes up. The perennial issue with manufacturing is with maintaining quality control. The factory is currently doing some rework on the cases as they continue production and assembly, which has resulted in a delay. They are now expecting to finish up everything except the B122's by the middle of September and then finish the B122 by late October, so the boards are still expected to arrive by year end but a little closer to year end. As I mentioned before, the cases are trickier to assemble because they are laser cut, bent, welded together, polished, and then powdercoated, which is time and labor intensive, as opposed to the other die cast and injection molded parts. As always I say it is better to delay production and fix the cases than to accept the cases and keep to a schedule.

It actually works pretty well for this kind of thing.Yah it's all good now! Funnily enough the ZMK Discord help forum explicitly says to not use gen AI, I was just missing a few lines of code.
