Talk:Model F keyboard

diagram
The diagram is badly drawn. According to my tests, the correct diagram is shown here: Following the diagram on wikipedia will result on burnt keyboards.

The template is wrong
Anyone who knows which template may be suitable here? "Connector" doesn't seem like the best option... - Anonimski (talk) 21:30, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect image
The image of the 122 key F is of the early model M 122 not a model F you can tell as it has model M style modifiers and not the stepped design of the model F. Early model m 122s used the case of a model F. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.80.130 (talk) 14:11, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Incomplete sentence
This section has now been updated.

''This sentence is incomplete: "Its mechanical-key design consisted of a buckling spring with a capacitive plate—similarly to the Model M, except that a rubber membrane was not used and the controller's ability to detect all keys simultaneously." I don't have the technical knowledge to fix it. Anyone? – AndyFielding (talk) 13:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC) ''

Unclear activation force
The article says it has an "actuation force of about 60g,", however to my knowledge, "g" means either "gram" or "earth-surface gravity", neither of which is a unit of force (mass and acceleration, respectively), so what does this mean? What should this be when put into SI units? Given what we're dealing with, I assume that should be a figure in the 300-800 mN range, as that's what typical keyboard switches tend to have. - Roxor128 (talk) 06:03, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this is good info, but I see from reviews posted on Amazon that the key "resistance" is given in units of cN, which I presume means centiNewtons, which is indeed a unit of force.Wikkileaker (talk) 19:00, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Weird picture
The model F PC/AT keyboard shown is ... odd. The key layout isn't QWERTYUIOP, but instead is QWERTOYUIP -- did someone play with the keycaps, or what? Also, what's up with the F1..F4 and F9/F10 keycap colours? They're not the dark grey that all 7 of mine are :-) [see, for example, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-makes-bitchin-keyboard-robert-krten/ for a picture]. 198.84.238.55 (talk) 21:14, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
