They need to make a new Spacesaver model (one without the numpad) and not only will they have a lot of new customers, they will also have each one of their old customers come back to buy one.

Yeah. I'm in the market for a new keyboard and am thinking about a TKL. Just spent some time on the Unicomp site looking for a TLK version to no avail.


These are very high-end buckling-spring reconstructions, including TKL layouts: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ .

On the downside, no idea when it will actually ship, and significantly more expensive than Unicomp.


I did see those from a link elsewhere in the thread. The cost and uncertain delivery timeline make that a non-starter for me, though.


They don't have one, and they definitely should.

And if they don't want to rejigger to do backlit keys, they could add a USB hub with three ports: one for a mouse, one for a USB stick or such, and one for a USB-powered LED lamp.

I'd buy that.
