Hello,
I like the IBM Model M keyboard. They are very durable, have a good
feel, and I can easily find them cheap. Yesterday, I bought one that is
a bit different, However. The feel, isn't quite the same, which really
surprises me. It's not particularly bad, just a little different. I
don't think it is any newer or older than others I have owned. The big
difference is not feel, but color! This one has colored keys! I think
it is set up for use with Wordperfect, but am unsure. The Shift keys
are green, the alts blue, and ctrls are red. Then some of the other
keys are a very light yellow, or creamy color and are labeled for
different functions. Each of those keys has 4 functions depending if
you press the shift, the alt, or ctrl.
Unfortunately, I am missing one blue alt key cap :-(
Is this factory IBM, or is it a fairly standard Model M with an
aftermarket key cap kit? These aren't just stickers like I have seen
before.
