Klassic Keyboards - Geek Nostalgic

Sunday, April 22, 2007 - by Dave Altavilla

BigWop is going to love this one.  Have a hankering for things made "right" back in the good ol' days?  Get a load of the these classic keyboards and get your farty old geek on...


Steampunk's Keyboard Mod

"The Model M, for all its clicky, built for combat, rat-a-tat goodness, is not the keyboard for those who like to type at 4 AM while their partners sleep in the next room. But if that's not a problem, then it's absolutely the right choice for any touch typist who learned to type prior to the age of ubiquitous cell phones, perhaps on one of the venerable IBM Selectrics. The Model M is a real keyboard."
Marco has a model M, just ask him.  The thing is loud too... I'm talking Wood-Pecker loud dang it!  You should give him a raggin-on for this, go ahead...

There is no substitute for a black and silver, USB Unicomp Customizer. Simply the best keyboard I have ever owned. Anyone who still wishes they had their OmniKey 102 will know what I mean. If all you've ever experienced are today's mushy messes, I feel for you!

OK, while the keyboard itself may not be my thing, I have to give props to the time and effort put into this. I absolutely love stuff like this, where people get an idea and run with it, with the end result impressing that pants off everyone.

I'm not sure I need Wood Pecker level response, but I do prefer keyboards with a good tactile response AND an audible response. It's much more satisfying to type at 60 WPM when you SOUND like you are typing at 60 WPM. ^_^
