Do model f's need the bolt mod too though or is that M only?


Model F is completely different from Model M, the only parts that interchange are the key caps and stems.

Fs can be dis-assembled and re-assembled non-destructively, and can be "bolt-modded" although it is a very different sort of operation that is completely optional rather than mandatory after cracking them open. The "barrel frame" of the M, which is the component that the rivets are part of, does not even exist in a Model F.

Awesome! Makes my life with this thing easier then. I'll still learn how to bolt mod when I get my m13 and trackball model ms some day but for now this is good enough.
