You know I'm not sure I'd pick the Model F as the keyboard I'd want on my desk, simply because of the non-standard layout.

- samatman 6y agoOne of the best things about it, if you happen to like having Control on the home row. My first decade and change of typing was on a Model F, from my father's PC-AT. I still have it, although I use an Ergodox now and might never plug it in again. Great piece of hardware, durable like a tank and excellent key feel.
- thaeli 6y agoThis is one of the best things about those new production Model F boards - they are the "Kishsaver" style which with some key cap changes can be made very similar to a modern 80% layout.
- Aloha 6y agoThey're missing too many keys I consider.. critical, home/end, insert/delete, F-Keys, a modern 10-key layout - as I'm typing this on a modern production Model M, I'm hard pressed to tell what makes these better than the unicomp ones I have now.
- timw4mail 6y agoThe AT version is a little better in that regard, but also seem to be somewhat rarer. I'm still waiting on the "modern" Model F.
