Actually I am also very interested in a big-ass enter key. The ANSI 104 layout with big-ass enter and small backspace key (photo), for instance, used to be somewhat common (I grew up on one), and I miss this layout. For myself, I would like to modify the layout somewhat to bring back the larger backspace in exchange for a smaller right Shift.
If you guys don’t make big-ass enter keys yourselves I would be happy to procure it from somewhere else, but do you recommend ones that are compatible or suitable with the Model Fs?
EDIT: I can see a big-ass enter key in this photo from the update about printing white on black in the top left. Is that not a Model F key?
Very happy to hear that it’s on the road map at least! What kind kind of time frame would you say we can reasonably expect for these to become available? Within a year?
Not sure but everyone who wants the 3 new keys please sign the interest form if you haven’t done so already:

Thank you, did just that! I’m looking forward to updates 🙂
Having the Big A** Enter is the main reason I would get a new keyboard so really hoping to be able to configure that with a single unit backspace key
Yes the keyboards can be converted to the big enter key and 1U backspace. You’ll need to buy the big enter key from somewhere though.

It is not yet available for purchase. I received a batch but the quality was not sufficient (the key wobbled and did not actuate consistently) so the molds will have to be updated or remade.
