Thanks
for posting that I had no idea that the model M was still in
production, after the
PS/2 it seemed that IBM switched to keyboards of a
poorer design, and I had thought that the production of these keyboards
just went away. I see they are still even making APL keytops.
Yep. The folks that run the place are top notch too. The only thing
these new
keyboards lack are the removable key caps. You can replace the
whole key, but not just the cap. They do offer color key sets too.
Are you sure about the removable-caps thing? I have 4 of Unicomp keyboards,
and all of them have keytops that are in two parts (i.e, stem and cap).
They may have changed recently (or since 2006, anyway - my newest Unicomp
keyboards were manufactured in 2006).
I just checked mine and it's dated October 2nd, 2002. I popped off the
F12 key and it's a single injection molded part - the labled key portion
doesn't come off the post.
