Discussion on: Good keyboards matter.

You might want to read the thread on the new Model Fs – those are so very close to the original that they are probably even more "Model F" then the old ones ever were ;)

Seriously, though: The guy who makes them is commited to make them as true to their ancestors as humanly possible; it's amazing.

I have read about them.

  • No full-size keyboards (or even the lovely F122s), only the "kishsavers". (I would blindly buy a "new F122"!)
  • They are not "new Model Fs". They have a Model M layout.
  • The price hurts my eyes.

But I respect the creator for his commitment anyway. :-)

Not sure what you mean with the Model M layout, but the size is an understandable point – I like my small keyboards, but I can fully understand the desire for an F122.

The price is… well, it's a lot – but you get something for it that might last decades ;)

The Model M layout is what you still use today, with the size and placement of Ctrl, Alt, Return et cetera. I should better name it the "AT layout", probably.

See this comparison.
