There is no switch on this earth that feels more satisfying than model f's, followed by Orange Alps (best tactiles). Sold my IBM 84, but I still got my F-122 which I will keep as long as I breed.
Good stuff.
Great keyboard you have there!
Loved this video-it had the professional level of cinematography that you’d expect from a “bigger channel,” the intimacy of a more personalized channel, and the calming commentary of a traditional ASMR channel
Definitely subbing
Thank you so much for the love!
Thank you very much for putting together this relaxing video for the wonderful Model F. The way you shot and lit everything demonstrates your talent and serves to showcase this delightful keyboard. I really like how you took your time and carefully went through each step of the process. I'm going to model your work when I clean and restore my keyboards, too.
Thank you for your kind words!
underated youtuber
nice video good quality keep it up
Lol thanks!
I like the fact that the function keys are in two columns on the left of the keyboard -- where God intended.
lol TRUE
This video is so well done!! The editing and filmography were so well done, and what a great keyboard find. You did a fantastic job revitalizing this old keyboard and giving it a new home.
Thank you thank you!
just got one of these for free and it’s practically mint, love it.
Yes love it!
Nice rebuild, sound!!
Thank you!
Many thanks for the video and for helping to save another one of these amazing keyboards. Once you've used a Model F, it's impossible to return to using any other type of keyboard. For myself, I incorporated a Teensy with Soarers firmware inside the case and then replaced the heavy black cable for a thin braided USB cable.However I've since come to regret doing that as it detracts from the originality of the device.
I was thinking of doing that as well but I went with the soarer’s adapter instead so it doesn’t ruin the inside
Bought one of Model F Labs' F77 repros and it's absolutely amazing! The reproductions have a more modern layout which is nice but I now really have an itch to try the older layout... This video convinced me to pull the trigger and buy an original one. Excited to see how it compares!
Glad you liked the video! I think if I have both keyboards I would like a modern layout more
@@howardishere Whenever it gets here I will update you with my thoughts! Just looking at it, I can already tell I would like the XT's position of the ctrl key more for sure.
OH and I almost forgot to ask; how has it been for you so far? Are you still using it as a daily driver?
Ese es el Teclado Mecánico Legendario por Excelencia.
Ty!
@@howardishere de nada Amigo! que afortunado es Usted de tener Semejante Teclado.
the only downside of the buckling spring is the very loud pinging, but i think that, without affecting the originality of the keeb, think cant be helpe and adds character to the keyboard. Amazing find
Yea overall this keyboard is super loud. But it’s the character so I won’t be changing anything about it and so far I really enjoy using it :)
@@howardishere thats good to hear.
this video is professionly made, but the only thing you should do is to get a pop filter for the microphone.
Thank you! Yea I know I heard myself when I was editing the video lol definitely getting a pop filter for my next video :)
very nice video! i have one too, one of my faves :) they don't make 'em like that any more...
Thank you! Yea the build quality is really good on this keyboard
OK! Somebody CLUE me in! I got a MODEL F Keyboard and the converter. Hooked things up. Turned on the PC and NO JOY. Is this a case of WIN 10 won't recognize the keyboard OR is there something that I don't know about that I need to do? SERIOUS QUESTION. PLS ADVISE!!!!
I wish I could help but mine is just plug and play it works immediately. May be a faulty converter? I am still using mine to this day and problem free. Where did you get your converter?
@@howardishere I Think that the converter came from a company in the Philippines?
A FIRM called TINKERTOYZ??? At THIS point, I am NOT sure if the KEYBOARD or the CONVERTER is the problem? Do You have a suggestion as to where to try for a CONVERTER?? MANY THANKS!
Why buy this instead of a new model f which doesn’t need cleaning and is priced lower than resale prices for used models
Depends on where you are in the world; if you're outside the US, a used Model F is usually a better deal than the Model F reproductions.
Cool now get a beamspring :)
