I’m less interested in Unicomp/IBM’s novel buckling spring technology (as cool as it is) and more that they’re built well, are corded and not wireless, offer replacement parts on their website, and have a mail-in repair service.
Unicomp’s Model M keyboard was my first choice for a long-lasting keyboard, but now I want to lessen my dependence on American-made companies (especially since Unicomp is based in Kentucky) and wanted to see if any alternatives existed. I’ve heard good things about Cherry, but I don’t fully understand their business model or how to order their products.
I’m told Unicomp has finally rebuilt all the tooling and the keyboards are good again. When you got in 2019 was from a worn out assembly line and would have problems. If you like the keyboard a new one is apparently good again.
Thanks for letting me know. Shame it’s only in black which kinda kills the point
