Focus FK-9000 "Project F" review (Alps Type T1 clones)

[@thumbwarriordx]

Damn son. I thought that calculator screen was too sexy to be true. Of course it's a modern OLED or some shit. Looks gorgeous.

[@vwestlife]

Now I know why I couldn't get my FK-9000 working even after removing the leaking battery. I guess that's part of the "Inno-Value"...

[@Chyrosran22]

VWestlife inno-"value" indeed xD

[@soniablanche5938]

What maladroit BELLEND came up with THAT idea?!

[@HB-Productions]

Now this is something that needs to come back, screw the RGB noise! We need Macro and Programmable Keys - so many work flows could be sped up by this Keyboard, I'd buy one tomorrow!

[@Chyrosran22]

It's very much a functionality-oriented board. A far cry from many modern boards.

[@swandonovan]

my ibm m 122 using soars converter comes pretty close minus the calculator. but i have a button dedicated to opening the os calculator

[@xander1052]

Personally I think the main thing roccat got right with the ryos (which I admit is flawed and not exactly the best keyboard, nor is it subtle), it has 8 dedicated macro keys and a layer shifting key to enable about one hundred macros.

[@AriCircuit]

Consider this: a lot of the stupidly egg keyboards also have fully programmable keys

[@zatozatoichi7920]

@@Chyrosran22 Functionality doesn't necessarily mean 98534572 keys and 1.5 meters in size tho.

[@genericgreensquid6669]

That calculator mod is soo cool! Thanks for showing it.

[@kyriewaylon823]

you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months =)

[@RBLevin]

"Now, I could walk you through all these features, but I will ..." 😂😂😂

[@karellen00]

Both the calculator and the macropad are amazing features! I wonder why nowadays no one puts those useful features on a keyboard. For office work it could really help to get things done faster, it would literally pay for itself!

[@pyro1324]

I have both on my Logitech G710 (read a bit too quickly, no calculator on my G710.. yet..)

[@TheDarthWTF]

Check out the ducky pocket.

[@Chyrosran22]

I've never heard of a G710 with a calculator on it Oo .

[@pyro1324]

oh sorry, was a bit quick with that comment. I thought he was talking about a numpad, this does make me want to wire up a calculator though.

[@karellen00]

The ducky pocket is something I have been keeping an eye on for some time, but at the end I never bought it. I am now using a cheap rubber dome wireless numpad, that has a button that opens the windows calculator. Not quite the same thing, but at least I can keep the real calculator in a drawer instead than on the desk! I plan to transform it to a mechanical wireless numpad, or in better words to transplant the small pcb to a case (probably custom built) and handwire it to the switches.

[@TheKakan1337]

I can smell the fresh air of new old stock from here :)

[@Chyrosran22]

There's nothing like opening a NOS box :D .

[@Pavilions2]

Now I want the guy who built that calculator from scratch? does he have a tutorial or something to do the same thing he did looks amazing

[@Chyrosran22]

Pavilions his alias on Deskthority is Engicoder, contact him about it if you want one.

[@oliharding]

10/10 Queenie impression, would be colonized by again

[@menuhin]

One godly keyboard with some of the most desirable design features. I particularly like the 1.25u F-row keys and the super easy on-board macro programming. And of course without the "seemingly obligatory" LED disco backlighting aesthetics. Congrats on completing the projects and sorting out all the engineering failures of the original manufacturer, and with the coolest calculator mod. If a modern manufacturer create a keyboard like this, no matter with which brand of decent switches, I am tempted to change to a bigger desk to accommodate this beast.

[@SubterraneanChick]

Suffice to say Varmilo got their primary inspiration for the VA104C "Calc" from this classic beauty here. Excellent, entertaining, informative and skillfully edited content per usual here.

[@jasonsdodd]

I picked up one of these at goodwill yesterday for $5. As soon as I saw it I thought, "this looks like the fk-9000 i saw Thomas review.". Battery was corroded of course, but it's in otherwise great condition. Now I'm hoping I can get one of those calculator modeuls.

[@digtalfear1177]

Very cool video! And that calculator on the keyboard is so cool! He really went above and beyond for that fix

[@canonwright8397]

Can't say I like the keyboard but the calculator - SWEET! Good job Ben, you da man!

[@Pavilions2]

I think having a calculator built in a keyboard is a very important feature since I use it a lot, even I bought a casio calculator to use it near my computer when I need. I don't like to use the windows calculator.

[@Pumpkin-Link]

I use the calculator function key on my keyboard to open SpeedCrunch

[@EscapeMCP]

Nice new calc module. It really needs the "send to PC" option that I saw on another of your videos (Weytec or Cherry Reuters G80-9009 KB?). It would be awesome calculating some total or other on the KB calc and then flinging it over to the PC with a single button.

[@Chyrosran22]

EscapeMCP Yeah, that's a very useful feature as well. Focus added it in their later FK-9200.

[@xander1052]

Sounds like if you find one of those, we may get to see that in action

[@Chyrosran22]

I've had one for three years almost :p . Sometime I'll review it! xD

[@xander1052]

Oh yeah, Roccat just released a new keyboard with their own version of Cherry MX Brown, im getting flashbacks to another Company, I feel it may be a company with horrible key cap lettering of some sort, and a gamer phone, couldn't possibly be a popular company for mechanical keyboards though...

[@off_on_one]

This has to be the nicest visual and functional keyboard I think I have ever seen!

[@williamlee0]

As an illustrator I am starting to really understand the wisdom of placing Fn keys on the left. Top-row Fn keys which I use regularly in Inkscape and Photoshop are starting to feel like half a room away. If I accessed my functions on that left-mounted stack of F keys they would be nicely positioned between the keyboard proper and my mouse since I mouse on the left. It all makes sense.

[@revolver265]

Agreed. I took some ideas from both vintage boards, classic/alternate layouts, and some optimizations when building my own layout, and I've gotta say, side buttons, Ctrl/Caps swap, and stuff like that seems stupid but once you make the change it feels rapid. Then switching back from an HHKB backspace to bog standard layout makes me feel like I have to extend my fingers out further and waste time, same with my alternate hypen location right next to escape on my 60%, when you make those improvements and your fingers travel less it's really something to have to make them go full distance again.

[@gorangecin7447]

As an owner of a FK-5001 I would love one of those new calculator modules, as mine also has partially broken LCD. Of course if it wouldn't cost more than the keyboard itself. Also my board uses CR-2320 battery, like the one for motherboards, but has two covers on the bottom, one for the said battery (with contacts), and one for the NiCd like you show in the video (no connectors). I actually like the star nav, or rather the cross nav part that works normally. I found it slightly less fatiguing that traditional T nav.

[@Chyrosran22]

If you're interested in a calc module, ask Engicoder on Deskthority about them :) .

[@steverichardson7619]

I have so much nostalgia for this board - I had one on my 486 DX2/66 that I took to college in the early 90s. I have no memory of what happened to it unfortunately. I have a feeling I got rid of it when I had my brief flirtation with the first generation Microsoft split ergo keyboard around '95. #liferegrets

[@StacyDevino]

Did Ben ever get these off of the ground or post up Gerber files, code, and a BOM? No lie, I have 2 Keypros (FK-9000), an FK-8000, and an FK-5001. They are some of the best keyboards for using with vintage computers, bar-none. I can build my own!

[@Arknio]

This keyboard has personality alright. Especially since you have history with it, it will be memorable.

[@GottZ]

daemn.. that calculator mod is awesome

[@aranegames9622]

I think Focus boards are awesome. I remember getting offered one for free about 2 years ago with only a few broken switches and said no. I still regret that to this day.

[@kamil4151]

I see that "timestamps" on the keyboard are between 23:00 and 1:00, do you usually do your videos around those times? I'm also working and family man, and my non-work work time is in that exact timestamp. When everyone else is asleep and everything is quiet. Though my blue switches breaks the silence as they could.

[@Chyrosran22]

Kamil Szabo I was wondering if anyone would notice :p . I usually film them after work and dinner, so yes, around that time. This one took four and a half hours to film which is above average.

[@NortelGeek]

I have a SIIG MiniTouch that came with the ALPS clones with mantis clicker and they were fine except when you got to full typing speed, they had a very raspy, crunchy sound. I replaced them with Matias Click switches and that took care of that issue. I used most of the remaining Matias leaves in my AT101W that I click modded. I noticed that if you swap the leaves in Black ALPS with the ones in Matias Click switches, you get a very close to the sound and feel of blues! (If I'm the first, I'd like to dub this as the Midnight Blue mod) Thanks for the videos as always! Cheers!

[@medicalwei]

If you are willing to do a re-review of G80-9009 I have an adapter and another model which I am willing to give away. It also has built-in calculator in glorious large screen too!

[@Chyrosran22]

Yao Wei hiya mate, yes definitely, very interested! I'd love to get that thing working!

[@batchout]

Proud Owner of a Gateway AnyKey keyboard. No silly calculator (extra keys above numpad are for key repeat rate, remaps & macros), same star nav, same left bank of extra keys. Every key is remappable (I made mine a Maltron sans the thumb E and reverted to inverted T arrow keys) so I used the numpad to prototype one-handed layouts.

[@Chyrosran22]

Also a pretty cool board! :) I'll be reviewing that one at some point too.

[@ferulebezel]

I want some of those calculator replacements, All my 9000s have dead calculators. I also really wish they made an ANSI version.

[@rich1051414]

The key repeat will work in some games, although it is eaten by the actual OS. The keyboard has to be in 'raw' mode, and the key repeat rate should work, however, in practice, it simply makes you move slower, but sometimes, with a very hilarious bugged out animation :)

[@BoltThrower321]

I love the voice...serious.

[@Mr_King_l]

I just picked up one of these on Ebay for 125$ and checked the switches and i got one of the boards that has all Alps White! looking forward to seeing if this board is in working order. the locking switches is also the futaba lock switch for the calculator, def one of the older versions of the board.

[@evil-wombat]

I use a fair amount of PCB layout software in my spare time, and having the various commonly-used routing shortcuts mapped to the left-side cluster of an F122 battle cruiser is AMAZING. If you map the Move/Route/Ripup/Group/Ratsnest/DRC/Undo commands to the PF keys, you can locate them all by feel with your left hand, and the right stays on the mouse, and your eyes never have to leave the design. Where has this been all my life?

[@2459355]

I have one of these bad boys. My favorite keyboard! I don't use it because it's too wide for my pull-out tray. I love the calculator, but unfortunately, the display suffers from the designer's ass-piss. How much would a the retro-fit upgrade from your friend be?

[@Chyrosran22]

Bob B. Dunno xD . Ask Engicoder on Deskthority.

[@soniablanche5938]

As it turns out, the problem is that Focus for some reason routed the power through the calculator switch button, and this routing doesn't work properly if the calculator isn't powered. What maladroit BELLEND came up with THAT idea?!

[@jerkersandquist7244]

My dad had this exact keyboard, havent seen it since then until now. Thank you so much. Now i guess its just tracking down a working one with Swedish layout and see if i could afford it...

that percent button is a mod operator, it calculates the reminder if you were to take two numbers and divide them. IDK why it seems to only be doing x mod 100

[@Gnohio]

I got one of these about a year ago and of course the battery was completely fucked but somehow the calculator works perfectly even though it wasnt even NIB. The only issue is that its missing a D key and I dont have any spare focus keys to match :( Also Chyros, you forgot to mention that these boards tend to have genuine yellow alps for the locklight keys, just a small detail.

Crack myself up watching these reviews

[@mike52787]

I think the macro capability is very comprable to the programmability on the g80-2100 and g80-3700. the 2100 came with a little notebook style changable label for the pf keys, which you can flip when you change layers, but unfortunately most of those are missing. As for the calculators failing, I had a 3001 at one point, and the calculator lcd was also fucked. what a shame. if I hadnt sold that long time ago I would really love to have one of those calculator modules.

[@Chyrosran22]

The 3001 uses a rather different module, I don't think it would've been straight-up compatible. A cool board though, I got one in the post this week!

[@mike52787]

hey, will be looking forward to the review. it was an interesting board, and apparently was made early enough that it still could use SKCM blue.

[@dumdum7786]

[@Saanichian]

I use a keyboard shortcut (CTRL ALT C) and the standard 10-key on my crappy HP keyboard I have at work. It’s fairly efficient. It gets the job done. The Windows®️ calculator does indeed do math. Other calculator apps are also available. For larger sets of numbers, I just use a spreadsheet. The original functionality was no doubt handy and being able to use it offline with persistent number display and the like. And then there’s the replacement calculator assembly. Huh. God damn it, I want one.

[@typecasto]

I've got an FK-2001 I use nowadays, and while it has none of the cool features here, it's still got the colored modifiers, and it still is, technically speaking, really fucking cool.

It depends if you have a lot of stuff around. If you have you want small (tenkeyless or tenkeyfless) keyboard (though 60 percent keyboard is absurd). If you have a lot of space than that doesn't really matter so much. Btw you can have two keyboards on your desk if those are tenkeyless xD and yeah if you buy keyboard with numberpad ehy it doesn't have calculator ? At least that simple one.

[@SianaGearz]

The LCD failure is familiar, even though i've never seen one of these keyboards - i sure handled a bunch of calculators, and the LCD is likely straight reused from there. It's usually a heat-activated electrically conductive glue that holds on the ribbon connector. Needs to be heated to 130-160°C thereabouts to reactivate the glue. Oh, as an extra challenge, the cable that is held on by thermally activated glue is actually not heat resistant, it's not polyimide like you'd expect in such use but a random... something, i really have no idea, just that it's not something a sensible person would do. Good luck fixing all this - sometimes a K-knife soldering station will do, other times it'll just ruin the cable. Ideally you'd have a linear heater, like a big flat piece of copper or aluminium covering the whole width of tape at once, with thermal control, and an alignment jig, which is probably how they were made in the first place, except they'd likely use timing instead of thermal feedback.

[@SockyNoob]

Hey there ! I found your channel a few days ago while I was looking for some extended advices about switches, and I'm really into it I love your videos they are really refreshing and relaxing I even watch them for sleep ( nohomo mate ) Anyway keep up the good work :D Since you're really passionate and you know your shit it would be nice if you could help me out, I currently own a Filco majestouch ninja 2 with Cherry MX brown, I've tried several others Cherry switches like red whitch people highly recommended because I'm a gamer but guess what it was just an enormous sack of garbage experience to type and play on those i kept missclick all the time. Then I've tried Blue switches because I wanted tactility and the clicky sound was at my taste, and it was complete trash, I mean it was so scrachy it was like typing on the bones of my dead grandma, anyway THEN I've changed for the brown ones, and it is less scratchy, a lot smoother but less tactile than the blue ones, but at least a lot more at my taste. And I recently heard some pretty good reviews about the gateron switches so I'd like to get the brown gaterons and put them in my Filco but I would need then to remod and desolder the whole thing completly and I'm not a master of soldering, or I was considering buying the Glorious keyboard whish is completly moddable but it would hurt to let go of my Filco I just love this keyboard best one I had ever by far, So it would be great if I could have your opinion on that one :D PS: I think you would like the Glorious keyboard since you can fully mod it and I would love your review about this one '-' and btw sorry about my English it is not my main language, cheers mate
