Currently got this one on my work laptop. Model M terminal board with internal converter. The only layout changes I made versus a normal 102-key are that RCtrl is is a Windows key, and the four keys along the right side of the numpad are =, -, +, and the normal Enter.

Oof, the model F keyboards are beautiful (in the retro style) but damn that pricetag stings to look at...

Yeah, re-creating a capacitive circuit board for a vintage switch mechanism and putting it into a solid metal case is pricy, and the market is inherently rather small. Basically niche within niche within niche.

Never said I wasn't considering it 😉

Be cool to have one, maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. I like me a thiccc keyboard that doubles as a bludgeon, Never liked the "reduced" keebs. Is the cable fully detachable at both ends?

I had to poke around their website a bit, but yes, it looks like they're standard detachable USB C.
