This sounds like an exciting project! The split design and wireless functionality are great features. I’m particularly interested in the hotswap PCB and the potential for different mounting options. Can’t wait for the group buy to start!popular games

2026 Brand New Beam Spring Keyboard production:  case bending assembly


You can still customize your Brand New Model F and/or Beam Spring Keyboards on the project website:  https://modelfkeyboards.com/

Production and assembly of the round 2 (classic style) Brand New Beam Spring Keyboards continue.  This recent factory video shows the bending of the side of the B104 cases.  The first B104 shipment is leaving the factory next month, before the Chinese New Year break.

Bending is done after flat sheets of aluminum are laser cut.  After they are bent, they are deburred and powdercoated; additional deburring may be done after powdercoating to remove extra material. 

Each bending operation requires custom-made tooling attached to the machine, as can be seen in this video.

WASHINGTON—Warning that any attempt to spend time inside a personal residence constituted hostile interference with federal operations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced Thursday that being in the privacy of one’s own home would now be deemed an obstruction of justice.

“When an individual enters their residence, conceals themselves behind a closed door, and attempts to go about their everyday life, they are willfully impeding the important work of law enforcement officers and engaging in domestic terrorism,” said Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, adding that the agency had updated internal guidelines to classify such aggressive forms of noncompliance as standing around in one’s kitchen, asking why agents are there, or harboring loved ones around a dinner table as Class D felonies.

“We will not tolerate any walls, floors, or ceilings that keep public servants from performing their official duties. Moving forward, anyone who commits acts of domestic seclusion will be regarded as a criminal and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” McLaughlin went on to encourage families to gather in their driveways for easier arresting and processing.

the Trump administration is working towards dismantling democracy altogether.

This is true.

The South Afrikans who came here to plunder our American Experiment are succeeding beyond their wildest expectations.

In a 2009 essay titled  "The Education of a Libertarian", Peter Thiel wrote, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
