## Description

The 'Ultra Classic' Model M buckling spring keyboard has the same mechanism, feel and layout as the original IBM Model M keyboard, but with a smaller footprint. With the much-loved buckling spring key design and fully swappable keycaps, these keyboards have been prized by computer enthusiasts and robust typists because of the tactile and auditory feedback of each keystroke. Unicomp has been making the Model M keyboard for IBM and others for 20+ years. Manufactured by hand in Lexington, Kentucky, our buckling spring keyboard is a heavy, audible keyboard with a gorgeous finish reminiscent of the classic IBM Model M keyboard. Buckling springs originated in IBM’s mechanical keyboard as a fundamentally different kind of switch mechanism. Featuring a coil spring that sits between the keycap and a pivoting hammer that collapses when clicked, the spring provides a loud, tactile feedback. Model M-Inspired Keycaps The gray buckling spring keycaps are made of PBT polymer. The dye-sublimated legends compliment the authentic feel and classic design.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I wanted from a modern Model M
*by R***E on May 7, 2020*

I don't write reviews often but I'm so happy with my new keyboard I felt I had to in this case.I have Model M2 that's been in my family since it was new in the 90s. It's been my everyday keyboard for about the last 8 years. I never had the pleasure of using an actual Model M, but I always understood it to be a bit better than the M2. Unfortunately, some keys finally started going and it just wasn't working like it used to. I tried cleaning and reading up on fixing it but I was unsuccessful.I was just about ready to abandon buckling springs and the keyboard I loved but lo and behold, Unicomp! I was amazed at the story of the founders of a company who loved buckling springs as much as I did. As I understand it, they used to work for IBM/Lexmark and decided to buy out the keyboard technology when the company announced the end of these keyboards. Since 96, Unicomp has been making these keyboards up to the same, if not better standards of the original Model M.The keyboard itself is an experience like no other. Yes it is loud, heavy, and big, but those are the things I love! This isn't a modern sports car, this is a vintage Cadillac. I don't mean that in terms of speed, but in terms of comfort and satisfaction. My typing speed is actually faster on the Model M compared to other keyboards. Each keystroke is a pleasure as the spring engages, clicks, and clacks. It's simply unlike any other modern mechanical keyboard.I love this keyboard, I love this company, and I sincerely hope they're still doing the same thing in 25 years because I imagine it will be at least that long before I ever need to replace this one!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy keyboard
*by K***O on December 11, 2016*

Good keyboard, nice and heavy.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Shake it off
*by E***E on November 10, 2017*

As others have said, after about three years of use, I'm suddenly experiencing a problem where keys will stop working overnight. It started with the number keys at the top of the keyboard and the spacebar, then started to affect some other keys. I was considering sending it in for repairs ($30 and up), but I read some comments online, and someone said they had gotten theirs to work again by turning it over and shaking it. Skeptical, I tried it — and it worked! But the next day (today), I had the same problem, and again it was remedied by shaking it; I'm typing on the keyboard right now. So apparently it's become the Etch A Sketch of the keyboard world, and you have to shake it to reset it every day. It may also be worth noting that after the first year of use, I had a different problem with this keyboard which may have been electrical in nature: the keys were getting scrambled on some computers. It was repaired under warranty, and worked fine again for some time, but now here we are. So when it works, I love this keyboard, and it's a great replacement for the IBM Model M, but over time, its manufacturing flaws become apparent, and I'm reluctant to either pay for further repairs or purchase a replacement from Unicomp. I'll keep using it until the shaking stops working and seek a new mechanical keyboard.
