I got my first Model F today!

It's hilariously filthy but since I intend to do a full layout redesign, I'll have an opportunity to thoroughly clean it.

These things are almost indestructible and usually clean up very well.

I'd like to try one, but I'd go insane wit the layout - no F11/F12, no dedicated arrows, odd Caps/Ctrl/Alt layout :))

Ludovician · « **Reply #31451 on:** Wed, 15 April 2015, 06:01:12 »

I intend to mod mine to something like this.

It still lacks the F11/12 (though they'll be on the function layer) and I'm going with an HHKB-style backspace and backslash. I hope I'm up to the task.

That's a very interesting use of the numpad!

I also want to look into getting some sort of molded lump of plastic to fill in the gaps around the nav cluster. Not sure how feasible that is yet, or how much it would cost, but I'm not a fan of the "stick a piece of cardboard over the hole" method.

Even some different coloured blank keys to the aarow/del cluster might look good, instead of covering over.

Ludovician · « **Reply #31455 on:** Wed, 15 April 2015, 06:35:56 »

True, I ordered a bunch of grey 1U caps last time. Unfortunately due to the layout rearrangement I wouldn't have enough spring assemblies to fill up the cluster with dummy keys. Do Model M springs fit in there? I have 40 of them lying around for no discernible reason.

Cherry 1800, MX Blacks.

This is my first board with Blacks. So far, not really a fan. But I think a lot of that might have to do with the crappy, slippery, laser-infilled stock caps.

I really only bought this board as something to use with one of my incoming GMK Hyperfuse sets, so I'm not worried about the crappy keycaps. But I might try swapping them out with something else decent for a while, just so I can see whether I want to keep the black switches, or order a Leeku 1800 PCB+Plate combo from the TX1800 GB and put some other kind of switches in this thing.

Is that what they are? I thought they were PBT but just poorly textured. They are certainly thick, so it's not that.

Am I off base, or are POMs really slippery?

Twas placed at the bottom of a box with bubble wrap placed on top where it does nothing (WTF). They could have maby put some on the bottom also.

But hey kinda happy ending.... I ripped the guts out of this French Canadian Model M I have and littery just swapped it out. case seems fine except for the guillotining of the plastic pegs that hold the guts in place.

I'm guessing your model number is G80-1800LXXX. L is lasered. The white or beige is lasered infilled PBT. Black is laser infilled POM. POM is slippery and I like it. It's amusing to me that you don't trust you feel. If you think is slippery then it probably is haha.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #31491 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 15:11:29 »

Cherry is lasered, not infilled if you can FEEL the legends raised. If they are perfectly smooth, then they are infilled but it's not likely to get that unless is some really old set... in which case is more likely the infill will have chipped out (so you essentially end up with engraved only) if it's been used well. Exception with some POM infill, where they seemed to have infilled with white pom and heated up so it bonded, but those are pretty rare to come across.

I knew it was slippery. I just didn't know what would cause that. I never used POMs before, although I was at one point interested in a set of jellies just for the looks.

I decided to spend the day on this board exclusively. At first I tried a spare set of thick PBTs which I know I like. It didn't really make a huge difference to improve the feel. So I think my initial disappointment has more to do with 1) getting used to an odd layout, 2) my first linear switches (MX black), and 3) PCB-mounted switches. Slipperiness when you lack confidence is not good for typing speed, especially with stiff switches like blacks.

At day's end, I'm now OK with the POMs but will probably eventually sell them when I get my GMK Hyperfuse. They are just not my favorite. I may also one day replace the internals with a custom 1800 PCB and plate.
