Model M - incoming @ clickykeyboards.com
« on: Wed, 21 August 2013, 12:24:54 »
For those of you looking for a Model M and who don't mind paying a premium price, clickykeyboards.com has announced that they have 68 kilos of Model Ms awaiting testing and cleaning.

Before you get excited, that is really only about 30-40 of them, but that should satisfy at least part of the current demand.

I doubt that fast.  They have a bunch in stock right now.

Their prices tend to be on the higher side.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

I don't think that clickykeyboards cares much about Model Fs.

It seems all the pictures they take seem to accentuate some shiny caps. I'm not sure if it's just their pictures or if they are shiny or not...

Agreed, I've talked with them about it in the past.
