Extra factory-cut inner foam, maybe for decades down the line when this foam may wear out 🙂

All foam currently in stock, including foam for F107, F122, F104 Unsaver, XT, and PC AT; the speciality foam may be all gone soon as I am not making much.

New option:  after many requests, XT foam is now available to order and reserve with very limited quantities being produced, to replace the old foam in your IBM XT style keyboard (IBM 5150, 5160 XT, etc.)

Split right shift requires a different PCB, top inner assembly, and inner foam.  All other parts are interchangeable.

Regarding the XT foam:  Besides almost everything being an exact reproduction of the original, even with the same type of foam material and similar dark gray color, there were two changes made – one, the removal of the vestigial foam covering part of the attached controller, and two, the pin registration holes were changed from 1/8″ to 3/32″ to provide an ever so slightly tighter contamination shield for the PCB.  In one of the product photos, one can see an original XT foam on top and the reproduction foam on the bottom.

You can use my new foam for your AT as well. The AT layout is essentially that of the F107 but with the 15 key F107 section (insert/delete, cursor keys etc) cut out.  To get PC AT foam, order the F107 and cut out the 15 key right side section and 10 key Function keys section yourself.  I just tested this with the PC AT refurb I did and it worked well. You’d also need to do a little snipping around the space bar area.

Note: The foam sometimes has some “rough” parts of a little extra material inside the holes when there was not a clean cut, or other lines or marks.  By ordering foam you accept that each foam piece will have small, but noticeable, visible defects that in no way affect the ability to use the foam.  If it bothers you, use a box cutter or exacto knife to trim the excess material.  All foam is considered to have cosmetic defects not limited to creases, scuffs, indentations, folds, lines, and overly compressed parts.  To minimize the waste of foam, the factory sometimes glues together the foam, so please assume that your foam may be glued together in two pieces. The pictured foam is an example, but you will not get the exact one in the photos. In no way does this affect operation or longevity of the foam as the barrels actually secure the foam in place. The tooling for this foam was custom made and I am the only seller of Model F factory cut foam. Unfortunately you cannot request a foam with or without glue so please assume it may be glued.  Legal, safety, and limited warranty information for this MODEL F LABS LLC product is available to consumers pre-sale and will be furnished upon request, by writing to the email or mailing address at the bottom of this web page.  Contact me for a discounted international shipping quote if ordering only small items.  The shipping rates posted on the store page are accurate for international shipments containing a keyboard.
