You can still buy brand new IBM Model M keyboards in several configurations from the people who bought the patent. I love this keyboard. It's the best ever made imo and I'll never switch for desktop. Sometimes I dock my laptop just to use this keyboard :0.

- derekp7 8y agoWouldn't the patents be long expired by now? Also, I believe that Unicomp (PC Keyboard) factory is actually the same factory that made the Model M before (previously owned by Lexmark, which was an IBM spinoff).
- sverige 8y agoI'm not sure about that. I know their site used to mention the patents. Their website says this now: "Unicomp was started in 1996 when we purchased keyboard technology from Lexmark International and IBM. You may recall that Lexmark manufactured the high quality Model M keyboards for IBM computers and terminals prior to 1996. Many of the same people, who in 1995 helped produce millions of keyboards for Lexmark customers, continue to manufacture keyboards for us today. Our goal is to build on our heritage and continue to provide our customers with the highest quality keyboard products." In any event, I've been very happy with their products. It's like 1988 all over again for me.
