Carbon Fiber IBM Model M project, what do you think

[cdaman]

Thanks guy, I think the GB could be very possible as now I'm sorting out how much I can get the original Model M case on my hand, since I use the original model M as the structure for the carbon fiber overlay. Also the F122 and M122 or SSK would be very possible, only if, I can get a hold to the original cases.

Here are some updates with the golden teak custom wooden wrist rest 49cm just the right size for IBM Model M keyboard!, also handmade in Thailand. Feeling is very natural and superb to touch. Maybe, add this as an option in GB? eheh

Model M or M122 cases should be easy enough to acquire but the others simply would not be obtainable in any sizable quantity. I would recommend a separate option for those that would rather send you a case. I have an SSK for example that is scratched up from use and would make a nice candidate for such a project. That wrist rest looks classy.

Blimey, that looks smexy. And a badass mouse, too.

Very impressive! From the photos it looks like it reflects light quite easily, has this been a problem for you when using it? My computer is right by a window that I often have open, so if I had this keyboard I would be blinded 90% of the time
