firstly, i greatly appreciate the offer, and thank you for it, but i use a model m every day, and have another "awaiting repairs" in my basement -- send it to someone who needs it! start a thread!
secondly, i use a coreboot'd thinkpad already. i want something heaver, jankier, and more "starts a conversation with CS-students". adding a 4g modem with a gigantic antenna (like i have laying around) would be even funnier.
i want to build something that i bring to class one day, people lose their shit, and then people just get used to it.
In this case I think you need an MIT Space Cadet keyboard (try web search), not a model F.

oh god... that's even more expensive. but my life will never be complete without it...
you motherfucker.
There are a lot of keyboards out there inspired by the Space Cadet. You can probably spend a while picking one out. There are even some original ones still in circulation.
noooo i have work and shit
i wore a pink spandex suit to class enough days last semester that a prof of mine said to me -- immediately before a final exam i forgot about and wore a FUCKING PINK SUIT TO, and that i fucking ACED -- "[spv], you're cool, you have a way of making the strangest things seem normal"
to which i replied "i'm just gonna take that as a compliment?"
"i meant it that way, you're, you're cool"
it was so uncomfy... lmao
