New post [Keyboards] New Wey MK06 owner

Which connector box is this? I'm using a Wey MK06 with Connector box 5 and could send you my config. That should give you a starting point.

New post [Group buys] Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

Not yet. Container shipments usually take closer to two months including time to load the container at the port and unload the container here. Then I need to go through everything, test things, prepare orders, confirm mailing addresses, etc.
As always the skip the line upgrade option is still available

New post [Keyboards] IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Thanks a lot, pal! I think you're right!
The Acer is 6311 with that elegant bend at the top and 2 sets of feet. The switch is Acer. Large keys rattle quite a bit, but overall, the switches feel pretty decent; the tactility is pleasant. The keyboard is reasonably small, I could find a practical use
