Industrial Model F XT?
« on: Sun, 28 December 2014, 16:21:35 »
While Industrial Model Ms and SSKs are rare enough to begin with, I have not seen even one of the Industrial Model F XTs anywhere on here. Is anyone familiar with them?

I seem to remember one on eBay a while back.

That does look like a buckling spring industrial model f. I know that there are OAK switch industrial model f keyboards that seem more common perhaps, and they are easy to spot because their keycaps are different than standard buckling spring caps.

It would be awesome if the case top was metal.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah, there was just an EMR edition model f on ebay recently but the top wasn't metal and the seller claims no EMR editions are all metal. (Although I have seen EMR editions with the paint chipped off which shows they are metal)

In the picture showing close up of function keys, looks like there is a small scratch in the case top.  The scratch looks silver.  Perhaps this portends a metal case top?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
