- rbanffy 2y agoI remember the keyboard being a nice mechanical one. The 2xx and later were those silicon dome ones. I think the 125 had the graphic capabilities I need, but the later ones are much more common.
- criddell 2y agoThey were definitely mechanical. The ones in the lab I worked in were not nice though.
- rbanffy 2y agoFair enough. I've seen many excellent keyboards beaten into unusable states in university labs. The only ones that can resist that kind of environment are the IBM Model M and F's (few universities were rich enough for beam spring ones, even fewer for Hall-effect ones)
