I use an apple aek at work with bumps on d and k. Just an adjustment period. When I switch to another board, it maybe takes me a couple minutes to adjust. Not a big deal now. It was however weird for like the first week or 2 for me.

Hot take. My 2015 Unicomp M feels better than any of my IBM model M's. I'd buy more from them if I could. That being said, their new cases are definitely more creaky than OG IBM cases. That kinda makes me sad.

I'm sure its been discussed, but is it different plastic?

Had to log on just to say that I love the look of that beauty. I'd say a very usable layout as well.

I saw new model M's mentioned a few times. I have one from like 2014 or 15. Custom 103 key. Are the new M's newer than this?

Worked at Geek Squad retail about 10-12 years ago. I had heard about mechanical boards, but had never tried one. Lady came in to recycle some stuff including a IBM Terminal M and a Chicony KB-5181 w/Monteray blues. Never got the M converted, but I used the Chicony for a long time, and I was hooked. ...

LOVE the idea of a battle scarred looking unit. I'm NO expert on paint, finish, etc, but I'd find a way to show off the case as is.

I might get laughed at, but I watched a Linus tech tips vid on the most expensive keyboard they could make. They got sent a tkl keycap set made from milled brass. I think they said it cost something like 2500-3000. not sure if USD or canadian. IDK what my point really is, other than a full set of m...

Not even a fan of 10 keyless, but I think I'd buy one, and then get a seperate 10 key pad. (wish unicomp made one)

I like my keyboards like I like my women. Thiccc and pleasant to the touch. Typing this on an AEK with salmon alps. Probably one of the better products Apple ever made.

So assume I don't do the kickstarter. Will I be able to get one at a later date, (likely for a higher price). I've unfortunately used most of my reasonable disposable income on video games.

Totally watching this with great interest.

holy crap. Ive been lurking in the shadows for the last 3 years. I think id immediately buy one if available.

Untested, presumably works. I might have some software for it somewhere. I can test specific things on request. Have no idea what these are worth honestly.

I have one in poor shape, but I really like mine. My probably unpopular opinion (don't kill me) is that it feels like a hybrid between a model M and a model F. I quite like it. I'd like to get a good condition one, or a refurbed one to use, as working on them is dreadful, and the construction is qui...

Sure do. Learned basic skills my freshman year in High School, but wasn't great. Then I started Playing Diablo 2 and quickly learned that typing fast was a invaluable skill, so I quickly honed my skills, and learned to spell much better in the process.

Always thought these boards looked interesting for lack of a better term. Love me some battleship keyboards, but these always looked quite boxy to me vs ibm 122 keys.

Is the enter key worn or due to camera angle? It looks quite shiny.
Also I take it it is converted to usb?

Look at this AST-SK-1200 I am not sure if it is mechanical, but condition is nice https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AST-SK-1200-VINTAGE-PS-2-KEYBOARD-FCC-ID-GYUR15SK-READ-DESCRIPTION/183519392344?hash=item2aba9bb258:g:u2MAAOSwPGtb33DQ:rk:21:pf:0 https://s8.hostingkartinok.com/uploads/images/2018/12/e42350...

1. Love the display case!
2. Love how the beam spring is just there saying, I'm the biggest baddest keyboard around. Not sure if its the angles you shot at, but dear lord, the thing looks huge (of course we all know it is).

Black on black is beautiful. I've been wanting the DAS branded one for some time.

Edit, to answer your question, IMO it is a keeper, though idk the value of one. I'm sure there would be lots of interest in it, if it really isn't for you.

I like the feel of the M2 over the M. Feels more crisp to me, and closer to how an F feels. Build quality is bad though. Thought I should edit before I get hate, my opinion is unpopular and subjective. I would always recommend trying one, but for a daily usage board I wouldn't recommend one due to ...

wow. those sound great.

Thanks for sharing. I love the look of this guy.

Computer advertising back in the 70's and 80's was infinitely more cool than anything since. Makes me sad.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed watching it. I don't watch a ton of 8Bit Guy stuff, but its usually pretty cool. Also I sometimes get distracted looking at his cable management. Its pretty darn good.

How long will orders go on for? I really do want one, but the price is preventing me from committing. Thinking maybe I could swing something around Christmas possibly.

Awesome looking board. I really want one for my office. Nice and compact. Any plans on modifying the BAE?

Clearly I can't read. Thanks for being nice about telling me

shame that case is abs. How old is it?
