I just had these two babies delivered to me.

So an relative of mine apparently found these in a corner of his work recently and wondered if i was interested in them.

The first one is a Digital (DEC) RT102 with NMB domes and PS/2 contact, not really that special but feels really nice for a dome keyboard.

The second one is a tad bit more interesting though, a Swe/Fin blue-label Model M and also with PS/2 contact.

Booth works fine despite their condition and i might upload some more pictures later if anyone's interested and after i done some cleaning of course.

Maybe it's my eyes or the photo, but the corners of the caps on that Model M look much softer and more rounded than what I am accustomed to.

You will love the model M.

Enjoy!

Yeah, definitely looks that way. The lock lights are also quite different.

Enjoy the Model M! If you've never tried buckling springs yet, you're in for a treat

Thanks and yea it does fell really nice, not sure if i want to use it though. (i have a room mate that's is quite sensitive to loud sounds and if she complained about my blue alps board something tells me she wouldn't appreciate an model m)

As for the keys/lights, isn't that because its such a late (4-generation) model? it at least looks similar to the one in the wiki.

Oh yeah, you're right... Never noticed that, my youngest model M is from 1995 and has the traditional lock lights.
