Help Identifying an old IBM
Posted: 11 Jan 2017, 20:20
Hey folks, I hope this is the right place and I've not missed anything obvious.
A friend of mine gave me this keyboard a few years back, which he'd bought from ebay advertised as a model m.
Upon further inspection I noticed it had switches rather than buckling springs (I'd never seen let alone used a mechanical keyboard before) and lacked the IBM logo on top in the usual place.
Having tried various Cherry switches since, I still prefer the clickyness of this keyboard.
From my googling efforts, I've not managed to find the specific model and I'm quite curious as to what it is.
The closest I've found is the KB-6151 in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvGzDY10Pyk
Please let me know if you can help me figure out what this keyboard actually is!
