But it’s nothing special, those things were built like absolute tanks. You could kill someone with an early model M and then go right back to typing.

Mind posting a picture of it as well? I’m kinda curious as to how it looks and what you’ve done to save it.
But seriously, who the fuck would not only smoke around their computer but put out the cigarette on their keyboard?

Thanks. I’m hosestly amazed that the case isn’t cracked at all from being shipped like that.
It does have a few battle scars but everything still works great and the keys are still very clicky
How do you deal with the multiple keystroke issues? If I remember correctly, it’s only able to have a few simultaneous keystrokes before it doesn’t recognize it.
You mean the lack of n-key rollover? To be honest, that’s never been an issue for me and I do a fair bit of gaming.
Oh good. I remembered having that issue in the 90s when using these keyboards.
No Super key would drive me nuts
Some people map the caps lock key to super.
thats what im doing and its great
No need. CTRL-ESC.
too complicated for my smooth brain
I have a IBM Model M from 1984 as my daily driver.
CTRL-ESC works, I actually prefer it.
So yours is almost 40 years old, nice. It’s amazing how far technology has moved in that time and here we are still using these ancient keyboards… they have seen some things we wouldn’t believe.
Cyrix gang rise up!
I’d have thought it would have yellowed more than that, did you have to treat it to make it look so good?
Surprisingly not, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a yellowed Model M (or earlier Model F for that matter).
We have the same exact brief…ehm…keyboard.
Told you people would love it :D I’m glad she lives!

I wish more modern keyboards had them as it’s actually quite handy. I use it more for decoration purposes most of the time but it can be a real live saver if you keep misplacing smaller tools

Man I wish I had a curled up wire for keyboard and mouse… My wires are way too long and always get in the way.
the OG keyboard, how is it?
Amazing, really tactile and loud :D
