A lot of the mechanical keyboards on the market have Cherry switches inside. While the IBM Model M is timeless, Cherry has been around forever as well (founded in the 1950s, started making keyboards in 1967) and their MX switches are about the same age as the IBM Model M (early-mid 80s). The age/tried-and-true/original argument has little weight here. edit: also what falcolas said about being able to choose your switch, Cherry has half a dozen ones with different tactile and sound profiles [1] [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_Electronics#Cherry_switches_in_consumer_keyboards_.28circa_2014.29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_Electronics#Cherry_switches...
