Here is a kit of spare parts for refurbishing your Brand New Model F keyboard years or decades from now, long after production ends in the near future.  Both kits are compatible with either ultra compact or original case F62/F77 keyboards.  Did you know that every 2U and larger key (backspace-sized key) and larger can be split into two keys, and the sensing pads are already there?  Just add a flipper and then you can add keys!  (Example splittable keys:  space bar, both shift keys, backspace, enter)  I recommend ordering the First Aid Kit to enable future repairs and modifications.

Included:

1. 1 custom machine-cut inner foam, just in case the original foam loses its elasticity while remaining in its compressed state for years on end, you’ll have a spare.  Foam may not retain compressibility for decades when it’s compressed inside the keyboard but can last a while in storage (not compressed in a keyboard).  The foam helps hold the barrels in place; worn out foam may result in more wobbly barrels and keys.
2. 10 flippers with springs, in case you accidentally bend a spring out of shape when removing a key or cleaning your F62 or F77 or want to mod your layout and split a shift/backspace in the future to get an extra usable key.  If one of your keys gets caught on the spring when you’re cleaning it in the future and the spring gets bent out of shape, there is no fixing the spring unfortunately (alas from my personal experience!).
3. 10 barrels in case you spill a sugary beverage and some of the barrels become sticky.
4. 2 Extra stabilizer inserts – in case some fail or break when trying to remove them from the barrels to change a layout
5. An original Industrial SSK (just kidding!)

Not included but highly recommended to keep your keyboard running in the future, long after production has shut down (see product links below):

1. Additional rubber bumpers for the bottom of the keyboard, available in various heights
2. Additional flippers with springs beyond the included 10 of this kit
3. Additional bumpers beyond the included 10 of this kit
4. Spare USB-C controller, in case of chip failure (rare) or accidental damage (tripping over the cord, etc.)
5. Transparent relegendable keys (in case you forgot to order a key that you wanted in the future)
6. Solenoid driver and solenoid (not required but great to have!)
7. Extra inner foam beyond the included one piece of spare foam – avoids wobbly keys when the foam loses compression set over time while installed in the keyboard (the type of foam used for this project seems to retain its compressibility in the long term when stored outside the keyboard)
8. Spare custom-made 3 meter USB-C braided cable (in recent years the cables I’ve bought from various places do not seem to last more than a few years of daily usage before requiring replacement)
9. Extra space bar tabs
10. Extra stabilizer inserts beyond the one of each type included in the kit (in case you damage one when trying to remove it)
11. Model F Wire key puller – definitely recommended if you do not have one already, for removing keys to clean them

Note: All products are made to order at the factory; inventory is not generally kept for many of the store items.  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. 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.  All foam is considered to have cosmetic defects not limited to creases, scuffs, indentations, folds, lines, and overly compressed parts.  The foam comes from the foam factory in sheets of a pre-made size. 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.  Previously each keyboard purchase allowed only one free set of bumpers, regardless of the number of first aid kits purchased – as a note for historical purposes, excess quantities would be voided.
