We don't get a lot of photos of how folks are using the custom bumpers on the new boards - one such photo and commentary is included below.

"I just wanted to reach out and say thank you again for your continued support. I honestly can never get enough typing on this keyboard.

The main reason for this email is to share my preferred setup for the keyboard feet and bumpers. I think I have found a real sweet spot that gives just enough lift, a comfortable typing angle, and excellent stability. As shown in the photo, I am using two dome bumpers and three square ones. For me, this combination feels perfectly balanced and very comfortable over long typing sessions.

Of course, everyone has their own preferences, but I thought it was worth sharing and encouraging you to give it a try and see what you think."

To do list:

This year some of the to do list is to redesign the project web site, update the boxes and foam as mentioned above, update the springs and assembly machine to make the sound more like later production Model F springs (less ringing compared to the earlier-production 4704 and XT springs that the project was based on), continue working on the new keyboard designs mentioned last year (Split Ergonomic, Ortholinear, 5x12 and similar, Kinesis Advantage, etc.), and continue with the new pad printed keys currently tooling to prepare for production.
