@oudalally Austin Evans got his hands on a real deal in a recent video, so wasn't sure.
But it definitely looks just like a Model M.
(I'd rather have a reproduction just for the mechanical clicking sound tbh lol) -
@oudalally Oh yeah definitely.
It's a very iconic keyboard and if I ever see a reasonably priced one, I will most definitely purchase it. -
@Stuxnet August 1989. It was restored. It's not as good as Unicomps in my opinion.
I will die with this thing. -
@oudalally I think IBM hardware is nice but pretty it isn't. Black>>>>>Beige. If they had ever made a Model M with the color scheme of a think pad I would have been all over that, but they're very rare and expensive.

Chewy8816yFrom my experience programming with a model M, it was a complete joy though it took at bit of time to get used to the force of the keys. After that, the sound and feel was on point.

My desk is as crazy as I me. It's kind of a mess but it means I'm productive. Not pictured is Tux, he's coming in the mail.
....I really like IBM hardware. 🤓
