The new Classic Style F104 photos are looking very appealing. I especially like that it won’t ever need to be bolt modded, which it took me some time to come to the happy realization of.
Anyways, of the authentically vintage IBM Model-M-style keyboards, the IBM Model M13 has the color scheme that fits in best with the dark aesthetic of current computers. Related to the topic of printed black keys that another poster posted recently (I did fill out the Google interest form for printed black keys last year), is it impossible to issue the Classic Style F104 with the IBM Model M13 color scheme (without the red trackpoint of course), not only with printed black keys, but with the black (and off black) LED overlay as well? If you google the IBM Model M13, you will see photos of some gorgeous jet-black keyboards. What do people think?
Thanks for considering it.
Glad you are joining the project! No LED overlay exactly matches the M13 overlay, so you’ll have to pick one of the available options or order the overlay from Unicomp, if they still have some stock of that older design.
