They are manufactured by the same company that made the original for IBM (in Tennessee, USA).
- kblev 5y agoIt's ridiculous how they don't position the Alt and Win keys properly. That's the only thing holding me from buying one.
- filchermcurr 5y agoYou can configure it to be a 103 key with long space bar (it's under chassis style). That's more or less a normal layout, I think.
- blue1 5y agoSame here. I have an older Unicomp that I would like to replace, but I haven't done it for exactly this reason.
- doublepg23 5y agoAlso typing on a "New M"! I was worried as many reviewers claimed they were slightly worse than real Model Ms but I have to say, I think they got everything down. (I've used an SSK and Lexmark Model M for reference.)
- bitwize 5y agoHasn't the tooling at the factory worn down to the point where you can't get but crap build quality on those Unicomps? Or have they updated the tooling?
- filchermcurr 5y agoThey updated the tooling in 2020 for the "new M" keyboards. One in the classic layout and one modeled after the original space saver keyboard (which Unicomp never had the tooling for).
