Now that the auction winners have completed their orders, the few remaining F15, F50 and F Split Ortho units will be open to the public while supplies last.  All remaining models as of 10/20/23 have a black case – all other colors are sold out.

Recommendations with your keyboard order:

1. First Aid Kit – highly recommended since these are custom made foam pieces and I did not order many of them.  Limit 3 kits/foams per keyboard order. Just click the check mark on this page and you’ll get the correct kit for your keyboard.
2. Custom/Low Serial – pick your serial/production date and the price will be calculated for you below.  The web site reserves your serial only for 30 minutes after adding it to your cart, so you have to check out before then or the serial can go to someone else and you have to start again.
3. No keys are included, so please plan for the most amount of flexibility of how to configure your new keyboard as your preferences will change as you get to using the keyboard:  Full Key Sets in various colors, Transparent Relegendable Keys, and Custom Extra Keys which include various num pad configurations.  You wouldn’t want to order just the standard num pad keys individually for example as you’d be paying just about the same as getting a full key set.
4. F1-F12 front printed key set
5. Industrial SSK 12 key set
6. Bumpers to vary the keyboard height and angle
7. Solenoid driver with solenoid – add one to your other new Model F keyboard or keep for future usage from my old group buy; they will not fit in the compact cases of these keyboards however.

Important notes: 

1. September 2023 update:  Thanks to the great work by Deskthority forum member NathanA, these boards all have the open source Vial firmware as the default, which means you can use the Vial program or go to the web site vial.rocks to configure your keyboard.  Both options automatically recognize the keyboard, no need to download any configuration files.
2. This Brand New F50 Model F Keyboard has an anodized metal (aluminum) case.  There is no available model with an original style case.  The photos in the product gallery include a group shot of various boards.
3. Keycaps are not included with this keyboard.  The keycaps shown in the product photos are not included.  You can order various custom keys on the Extra Keys page, and you can also order transparent relegendable keys here.
4. The Ultra Compact F50 is available in Black, Regular Gray, and True Red.  By bidding you agree to purchase a color that you may not prefer, with color preferences prioritized by your low serial selection and by how much you bid. You won’t be notified of your color before purchasing or shipping. You cannot bid with the condition of receiving a preferred color or not receiving a specific color.
5. Some folks have outstanding orders such as a beam spring keyboard, Model F keyboard, or accessories.  I have already paid the factory for these items and they are either in stock, in production, or have completed production and are on their way to me.  Unfortunately I am unable to exchange or cancel any prior orders so that you can get one of these new offerings.  Please don’t ask!  No exceptions.

Choose Custom/Low Serial Number and jump ahead in line!  Also a great way to support the project a little more and request your own serial number and/or production date.  Serials can be up to 7 numerical digits only – no letters or other special characters.

Please do check out the other items in the store, especially the First Aid Kit of spare parts for future repairs once production has long shut down (over 1000 kits ordered so far!), the brand new custom made solenoid and solenoid driver, controllers, key pullers, extra key sets (the key tops do wear down over time and you won’t be able to buy more XT quality one piece keys after the end of the project) and also a spare custom made 3 meter USB cable (same as the one that is installed with the keyboard). I hope to be able to manufacture as many First Aid Kits and spare parts as possible to keep all these great Model F keyboards running decades from now.

There are additional key sets that can be ordered on the “Full Key Set” product page.  Please check out that page for additional details.

Please check out the home page to review all of the features and specifications of the Brand New Model F Keyboards.  All Brand New Model F Keyboards are fully functional with Mac, PC, Linux, and Android!  While ordering any of the recommended add-ons, please review the individual product pages to see the details of what you are getting.
