Nothing beats the old IBM Model M with its buckling spring mechanism!
I wish there was a modern alternative at a reasonable price and with a USB connection (especially in Europe where it seems harder to find niche keyboard products for some reason, or perhaps I just didn't discover it yet)
- dvdhsu 14y agoUnicomps are pretty much clones of the Model M. They're available for 80 USD. I'm not sure how much shipping to Europe is, unfortunately. http://pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD http://pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD
- wyclif 14y agoI have a Unicomp "Linux" model. This was a model they used to sell stock with the Caps Lock and Ctrl keys swapped. It's wonderful for programming. I think now they will customise the keyboard for a small additional fee if you like that setup, or you can DIY.
- gingerlime 14y agoThanks for the tip. Had a quick look on the site and can't find out how much the shipping costs, plus I'd probably have to pay taxes on top (which is always a mystery, but might add quite a big chunk to the price)...
- zer 14y agoI ordered my last keyboard over there: http://www.keyboardco.com/ http://www.keyboardco.com/ I can only recommend them.
