    80 GK. They are the same price as the MX version from the supplier too unfortunately.

    Couple of awesome things arrived in the post today - firstly a Model F courtesy of our very own Mr Halfacree (who could really do with cleaning his keyboards more often :lol:)

    It's really nice to type on - like a model m but even crisper and more pingy :D

    Secondly - Round 3 black on black caps :D

    All in all a rather good day :)

    I did warn you it'd need a clean! Lovely board, though, isn't it? If it weren't for the lack of F11, F12, Super, the Home cluster and proper cursor keys, I'd probably still be using it.

    Nice looking board that model F. Always good to see a board that puts ctrl in the right place. ;)

    To be fair I clean every board I receive (unless it's brand new) - I feel it's part of making it mine :) It is a fantastic board, apart from the fact that it makes my SSK feel less lovely :lol:

    Things have kind of gone full circle haven't they - I never really understood why Caps Lock gets such a prominent position on keyboards when you use it so rarely

    There is no need for a caps lock key at all. Horrible things with no legitimate purpose.

    Comic sans?!? That's a pretty big insult, maybe we should start discussing matriarchal promiscuity?

    Unfortunately I think to use the term white to describe the colour is being a little generous. As it is borderline beige. But still looks good. Might stick some greys in place of the other 'white' keys.

    Grey and red is a lovely combination - firmly an 80's combination but a good one :p
