Im typing this message on my F XT, which is like 4 years older than the unsaver, and it is still perfectly usable.

All keys on the unsaver are fully programmable and usable. I think that any model F can be used as a daily driver, as long as you or your colleagues don't mind the noise. Capacitive BS are tied for my favorite switch ever. If you've tried model M and not model F, you have no idea how much better model F is.
(facepalm)
Your perfect board is remarkably different from mine. Mine would be:Modified ErgoDox layoutMonolith CNC aluminum split-hand case with built-in (fixed) tenting67g ZealiosPer-key RGB backlightingThick PBT/POM shine-thru caps with a decent legendNKROUSB C interfaceLED lock and layer indicators
usb and headphone jack pass through sounds more annoying than handy.
ripster alt?

I've come to view humanity as predominantly monkey business.

Quote from: MandrewDavis on Thu, 24 November 2016, 11:12:32I think mine would be capacitive BS board in a VE.A layout with RGB back-lighting just because. I love alps, but C BS is the most refined clicky switch by a good margin.that sounds pretty awesome. The MF GB on DT is great since I really like the full size M the best, so a full size Model F will be amazing. Also I prefer the plastic case to the 4704 cases they are too flat. I really like alps tactile, so I should be trying oranges, but creams are really good too. Will be building my VE.A with tactile alpsFor linears, I love cherry. I just sold my only ergo clear board, but I don't see myself building one. I really don't like topre.In summary:Best BS board --> MF Full SizeBest Alps --> SKCM VE.ABest Cherry --> Anything with old lubed switches like my 456GT, 360C (soon), Linger (soon)

But I don't really care about backlighting, and I think Cherry switches aren't very good. I much prefer the proper switches of old. I also think there are almost no great keycaps around anymore.

Those would be on my perfect board.

I only like model m switches, MX browns suck.

Quote from: Hypersphere on Thu, 24 November 2016, 19:13:05The Das Keyboard 4c does look relatively handsome; it just wouldn't do for me for quite a few reasons:- Cherry mx switches (Prefer IBM Model F; Alps SKCM Blue, White, Orange; Topre 45 or 55g)- ABS keycaps with surface-printed legends (Prefer dye-sublimated PBT or doubleshots)- Legend font (Prefer Helvetica)- Hardwired Fn key (Prefer no function key or one that can be remapped)- Non-detachable cable (Prefer detachable cable)Our community is quite diverse -- there are probably as many notions of the perfect keyboard as there are members!Do you like any cherry switches?
