I have an old IBM Model M with the buckling spring switches and it's the greatest thing in the world to type on. It's loud, but it feels so good. My typing accuracy and speed have both improved greatly since I switched to it.
I dug it out of the back of a storage building a couple of summers ago. The sticker on the bottom says it was made in 1986. It works flawlessly, and with the help of an old tooth brush and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, it looks as good as the day it was made.
- listic 16y agoWhy does typing accuracy improve? Is it because the keys have less wobble? I figured that generic keyboards on the market differ greatly in wobble.
