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.
