@dhry: I occasionally switch my RamaWorks U80-A #dailydriver for a new #mechanicalkeyboard in my collection, often a staggered 40%ish w/QMK, like recently: chaos.social/@xtaran/112040709

Switching to my #beamspring TKL actually already happened multiple times.

I also have different daily driver keebs @home (TKL+trackball, clicky) and @work (60% w/thumbstick, silenced tactile). And I do have a 40% keeb (TVK MiniVan) always with me in my daypack. But I only use it if I have to type a lot on the laptop.

And now to something complete different, this time for the #MechanicalKeyboard crowd: One and a half week ago a new gem arrived: My Round 1 "Brand New #BeamSpring #SSK" by #ModelFLabs.

A few days ago I found the leisure to complete the setup as documented on modelfkeyboards.com/manual/#el (although I didn't find a single non-working key). Using it as my daily driver for now. So far it feels and sounds great!

No sound sample here as my phone's mic wasn't able to properly catch that nice bassy sound.

A brand new Beam Spring SSK Keyboard (SSK = Space Saving Keyboard aka TKL = Ten-Key-Less layout) by "New Model F Keyboards". It has a black-on-white alphanumeric keys and white on black modifier keys with keycaps shaped similar to the SA profile, but lower and with more prolific rims. The case is rather simplistic and has a rough, black and complete flat surface, kinda comparable with a brick.
