Unicomp makes leaf spring switch keyboards that are the modern day equivalent of IBM's beloved PC keyboards. They are too loud for a shared work environment but perfect for home use, assuming you don't multitask during a meeting with your mic on, anyway.
- rhabarba 5y agoLeaf springs are different switches. Unicomp makes buckling spring keyboards - which are not "the equivalent" of IBM's Model M keyboards, but they actually are the current brand which makes the original Model M keyboards. (They were branded "Lexmark" earlier - after IBM had founded a spin-off company for them.) They have become less sturdy over the years though.
- technofiend 5y agoYou are correct - I went from memory and misremembered the name of the switch type in the Model M keyboards. Appreciate the clarification. What I meant by modern day equivalent is the fact these newer keyboards are available with USB.
