Here is my beloved Unicomp made model M https://youtu.be/wrmdYUcjSm4?si=LNGGQaz-01kcejS6 If you want a model M and no headache then getting a unicomp new model M is the way to go. If you want something vintage though let me know where you are located and I'll ask around and see if I can get you a good deal.

Model Ms are if anything in too great a supply so I'm always happy to help get one to a loving home.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That sounds amazing! Almost indistinguishable from the original (which I suppose is the point of the Unicomp Model M haha). I really appreciate that, maderbmax!

Glad you enjoyed the video! The unicomps really are extremely similar to the model Ms of 1985. It is funny how there has been less change to this model of board through 4 decades and 3 companies making them than there was in the prior 10 years of IBM's keyboards!

I guess by 1985 they found pretty much the perfect design for a keyboard lol

I read somewhere that IBM ran a study with typists, who helped design the revolutionary new keyboard, we know as Model M. The typists dubbed it as the most comfortable keyboard, and, as such, IBM didn't make any changes to it.

That sounds so good! It's just one guy typing, but it sounds like an entire newsroom.

Thank you! I put some work into that board to make it sound a bit nicer than normal (greasing the barrels with benalene) and I'm proud of the results

Just as our Goddesses intended.
