i heard that unicomps are pretty good since they pretty much built the rights to the model m and are manufacturing their own version of it i also want buckling spring |
| phflack:
that's pretty cool so they're reviving the model m, but with a modern usb connector? or is it still the old one lol |

Enjoy that 'board, the Unicomp remakes are pretty solid. Buckling springs are without a doubt my favorite switch. The loud and tactile feedback they offer has improved my typing speed and accuracy ten-fold. My daily driver is an IBM 5576 A01 and I own an IBM Model M (built circa 1987). --- Quote from: phflack on February 12, 2017, 07:55:17 PM ---so they're reviving the model m, but with a modern usb connector? or is it still the old one lol --- End quote --- They are remakes; similar in design and typing feel. In addition to a USB connector, they have an optional windows key. In my experience, the build quality of the chassis is slightly inferior in contrast to an original. They are using a less rigid plastic and the metal back plate has been thinned, as a side effect they are much lighter in weight, which depending on your perspective is either a pro or con. |
