I couldn't find real data about 1392373.
aside from the fact that it is french/canadian ISO, It has strange connection cable .
and what about its protocol ?

i own a Lexmark late version of IBM model m (from the mid 90's). well yes.. it doesn't really show the signs of legendary robustness of IBM Model M that i usually hear about on forums, that's why i have decided to buy and early IBM model M silver or maybe black-on-white label unit so i could experie...

to be specific, i am talking about 1392595

well other than providing a converter, how an IBM model m terminal keyboard 1392595 can be used today on a normal computer?
i know there are no LEDs, but generally what do i have to do in order to make it usable ??
can i use immediately on a modern PC (after providing a converter) ??

I know it is kind of strange to post such a topic but
is it actually possible to use the model f xt after completely removing the foam from it ??!!

i thought that the answer would be NO

It was shipped with an IBM 8580 Personal Computer (80386 at 20 or 25 MHz), and a separ...

so what is it:
- a terminal or pc keyboard ?
- ps2 or at ?
- buckling spring or rubber dome ?
- straight or coiled cable ?
- with or without leds ?
- production year ?
- weight ?
- back plate type ?

what kind of keyboard is it ?

I have looked every where, nothing about 1393990 Model M
NOT A SINGLE WORD
any clue !!!!

I know very well the sound difference between capacitive and membrane buckling spring switches. i own a model m keyboard and i have watched a lot of videos for sound comparison. but i would like to know the difference in tactility between these switches: clickyness , stiffness, weight, linearity lev...

do you think there is a build-quality difference between MaxiSwitch version and Lemark M13?

actually i was'nt asking about the trackpoint quality i know that it is just crap. what interests me is the M13 as a model m keyboard. the thing is after i read this info: https://wiki.geekhack.org/index.php?title=IBM_Model_M13 i got the impression that they might be even worst than today's Unicomp ...
