My new old keyboard arrived today!!
 

In my neverending search for a decent keyboard (they dont manufacture those these days) i gave up and went back to the 80's by ordering an
original IBM Model M keyboard from ebay.

A 10 pound keyboard with a delicious click for every key you press arrived today and loving it (again) so far..

damn thats high tech!

I feel your pains... I have one of the first ergonomic keyboards types which is perfect for my hands, unfortunately they fucking DON'T MANUFACTURE THEM ANYMORE. If I want to get an ergonomic keyboard I have to get a shitty fucking rip version that the layout has changed or is usb or some other fucking gay shit. GOD DAMN IT, I wish I could go back in time and buy about a thousand of these? I bought seven or so for all my computers around eh? six or seven years ago, now I?m down to my last one. I?m a real asshole to my keyboards, this one has lost the lettering on three of the keys and is missing the fucking F8 key but man can I type fast on it.

When it dies I?m thinking of getting ground up and put in an urn on my desk in honor of it?s memory.

That's sweet :1orglaugh

Ahh.. Microsoft right?

oh remembering the days of highschool, taking off the keys and putting them in alphabetical order ;) i love those ibm keyboards, loud click with every poke

10 pounds, wow that is old school.

I don't think this is a MS keyboard... all the new gay ones, especially the usb ones are. It appears to be a super generic kind of keyboard (Model #: SK-6000), made by some company called Silitek Corporation (according to FCC ID). Because of it's super genericness, it's pretty easy to damage but my god it's the best keyboard type I've ever used, the only keyboard that I can maintain 110-115 wpm for extended periods of time w/o getting hand cramps.

lol old school

I'm for whatever makes you happy. Personally I couldn't live without my split ergonomic keyboard.

The best keyboard for me too...Big and confortable

I have abt 5 of them

They are built like tanks

badass keyboard, I love the clicky ones!

Old is sometimes better

yep, the best keyboard ever built, i love those old ibms

Yep I used to have one of those too. They were bullet proof.

^^^^^^^ LOL :D good shit, respect!

Oh man, I remember tossing out at least a dozen of those at one time. I may even still have some in storage, just in case ;)

:1orglaugh are you serious?

LOL! Old school! Cute! :thumbsup

I see em in the garbage all the time. Want me to start fishing em out for you? ;)
