…an IBM Model F keyboard.

Ouch but the price…

Bloody brilliant things though.

Why the model F – the model M would be more usable ?

Yeah, but no Windows/Menu key? (And that’s ignoring the minor detail that it’s an English keyboard, and I need a Spanish one)

Nice and noisy though 🙂

Seems like a good waste of money to me… and is that article right, the keyboard alone originally cost $600?!

You can buy a Model M today for much less than that. I think Lexmark bought the business.

Having used one bitd I much prefer the newer mechanical keyboards like the Cherry brown.

Pah – Model M. The F was where it was at and the fact someone has lovingly recreated it is awesome imo.

Ain’t ever going to need another one!

Cherry switches are ok but aren’t as good as they used to be.

Out of interest – has any one tried one of these:

IBM Model M ( ish ) with USB

??

I was about to make a sarky comment . . . until it occurred to me that I’ve just spent the past 45 minutes searching the internet for Deore XT thumb shifters, which equally as sad. 😕

wasn`t the IBM hardware business bought out by Lenovo?
