Model M: not the battle hardened tank of keyboards it’s made out to be.

Honestly, I’d smack someone upside the head with a plate mounted Cherry over an M any day. Only the Model Fs were made for street fighting.

Very true, bigblue obviously started saving $$$ in production by then.

Perhaps we could upgrade the tee shirt to wearable tech, so that the slogan could be easily changed or rotated among several.

I'd love a tee shirt! Sign me up!

Speaking of which, I still have that sleek Alps equipped NeXT waiting for you!

When it comes to Alps, It’s Complicated.

Very true, before I found my beloved ALPS KB's I bought a lot of garbage.

Impressive !

My procedure is to use a wire puller, pull straight up, but at the same time with a wiggling motion of the wrist. For particularly stubborn caps, I first pull with the puller oriented along one diagonal of the keycap and then the other -- for example, start with the puller on the northeast and sout...

So, I just received my new Ducky One with MX Greens on Friday, and honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.

Hapens, at least you know now.

Hmm, Keyboard Co are being more evasive now, with " if we can confirm a fault" (not helpful given its notoriously intermittent nature) and they dodged the matter of the return postage entirely. So I guess I'll keep the Mini and not order from them again. Oh well. :/ I would not have expected that o...

Really nice board thanks for posting.

Yes, that's a really good price for that XT.

True, it is a nice little project though.

If you don't mind full size KB's try the Olivetti ANK 25-101, a truly great keyboard:

Truly oldschool.

Impressive, truly vintage. Sorry I cannot ID it.

Very nice thanks for posting, I bought a very similair WANG here years ago.

Shame on you, you've been taught the right and importance of free speech and still have the mindset of Nazi. What an irony. That only proved how weak and hypocritic you are.

Still in your old tiptop form.

I'll have to agree with Hypersphere, the Matias Mini Quiet Pro is a real nice KB but it cannot hold up to upscale Topre based KB's or oldschool classics. Don't get me wrong though, it is still a high end keyboard just not my first choice.

Well that does not sound optimal...

Well not everyone will be happy all the time.

There are enough answers here.

The Cherry original doubleshots are most popular which does not suprise me.

Great thread and very good work!

Is anyone keeping track of prices over time, at least for some of the more popular boards? Wondering just how much the market exploded and prices have gone up. On page 2 or so of this thread is someone in 2011 asking what their Beamspring keyboard is worth and the answer was “$100 to $200”. I’ve se...

Nice looking. How much this keyboard worth ? As usual with these oldies that's relative. There are people that are willing to spend quite a bit on something like this. On the other hand you may get lucky and pick one up for cheap. I looked on Ebay and Amazon and can't find any of this keyboards Of ...

What is estimate value for Olivetti ANK 2463 keyboard ? Oh I see that's mine. :o To be honest I don't remember what I paid several years ago but it was not much. Just make sure you like the switch before you buy or risk being unhappy with it! I do remember I did not pay much, it was more of a rando...

Very nice indeed, reminds me I need to get my Apple M0110 out.

Very nice work, I need to do this with mine. Enjoy your Wang 725!
