As we all know, the IBM Model M has been the greatest keyboard on Earth for the past 20 years. The G15 pales in comparison to this beauty :D. Anyone who uses a computer for over 24 hours a day can tell you that the Model M is the holy grail of keyboards, then and now.

IBM Model Ms have:

  • Indestructible and weapon-like qualities
  • Waterproof designs
  • Durable and removable cables
  • Easily customizable removable keycaps
  • Easily cleaned removable keycaps
  • Great tactile response
  • No stupid lights, useless keys, 'ergonomical' monstrousities of designs, demented 'soft-touch' keys.
  • The [H]ard touch!

So here goes...

FOR THOSE OF YOU LUCKY ENOUGH
POST YOUR IBM MODEL M SETUPS!​

Here's mine:

  • IBM Model M #1391401
  • Logitech G7 Carbon Fiber

Muwahaha, I guess that means no one then? Remember, each day has 24 hours in it :p

Well, more ontopic..I have a NMB keyboard which is like the IBM as it has clicky keys, but originally came from a Micron P100, but has one chipped key after it fell off a top of a monitor about 10 times :(. eh, well It's replaced by a Logitech G15 now due to various reasons (color, etc) but i'll post a pic later for anyone interested. They are built very well despite the chipped key. Hell my dad bought the P100 way before 2000, so I'd say at least 10 years on it. Still types and games like it had on the P100 but it was it's time. R.I.P. NMBy :)

Good thread.
 
Heh

I used to have an AOpen keyboard with clicky keys. I was 8 back then and decided to give my computer a good cleaning with my new water gun. I ended up killing the monitor and the keyboard. My dad got me another of the same keyboard but it wasn't clicky. He worked at a computer store and they had a huge supply of those AOpen keyboards. I've probably seen or owned at least 50 of them and only the one that was clicky was the one I had broken.

And now I am a proud owner of the original :D.
 
I'm using a black IBM model M13 with trackpoint.

Unless a keyboard uses mechanical buckling spring switches, I have no interest in using it under any circumstance.

I'll post pictures if I ever buy a camera :p
