No, I have two of the reproductions and they are great IMO. I heavily prefer them over any of my Model Ms or OG Model Fs.
Looks nice, and I completely believe that they put a lot of care into them. I would love to try one of their beam-springs, though I admit the photos are not exactly glamor shots with those slightly rusty vintage cases and Dolch Vortex keycaps (a set of which I actually have and like)
EDIT: On second thought, I don't know where they're sourcing their beamspring keycaps. Looks a lot like my AliExpress VSA though.
I'd get one of the beamsprings as well, but they are just so ridiculously thick and bulky that I don't think it would work for me.
True, that's where you have to start thinking about re-working your furniture to fit your tech. I guess an OSHA directive came down that keyboards shouldn't be that tall, and that's part of what led to the buckling spring on the F, as well as other stuff, like Space Invader switches and a certain German company making little polyhedral switches with cross-mount keycaps. Wonder how that worked out?
