@wyatt thanks for reminding me that I want to custom-order "#BigChungus" from #Unicomp!

A real 100% Keyboard

My website and continuing mission for #IBM, #Lexmark, #Unicomp, #Lenovo and #TGCS #keyboard excellence has reached its sixth year! Like most past years, I have written this post to go over everything we achieved since September 2024 and to give my thanks! sharktastica.co.uk/announcemen

Seriously, I need like a real 100% Keyboard...

Not just a numpad

  • And no, if I could just buy a #Unicomp #PC122 then I'd not ask this question ffs!

"What would happen if you took the classic layout and look of the #ModelM and rebuilt it with modern mechanical guts? #VortexKeyboards decided to find out and the result is a unique keyboard with one foot in two different decades." reviews.ofb.biz/sa1337

Anyone got a newer unicomp "Mini M" (tenkeyless/space saver) board than mine? Wondering if they're still just sawing down full-size barrel plates and leaving one side of the plate exposed/opened.
(The serial number on mine is 0001034, from 7 June 2021)
I don't think it's gonna be a problem, I just still find it somewhat amusing that unicomp did that. I'd kind of suspected they would.

Three model M keyboards of differing vintages. The oldest is in an industrial grey shell on the left, and the barrel plate and steel backplate are enclosed to protect the membrane from intrusion by a piece of tubing that looks an awful lot like the tubes you use with a pump to aerate a fish tank. That one's from 1987. The next oldest is a beige one on the right, which is from 1993 and has the barrel plate moulded to enclose the membrane without needing a tube. in the middle is my black "mini M" from 2021 where you can clearly see the pivot plates/hammers and the membrane because they just sawed down a full size barrel plate and left that side exposed.

@glitzersachen @mjdxp well, #Unicomp still makes new #PC122 keyboards, and if you're into #FlightSim then Taran propably knows options that are cheaper (Logitech K120 + HASU USB Converter) for your use-case.

#introductions Hi, I'm Admiral Shark, and I've been on a mission to collect, research and document #IBM, #Lexmark, #Unicomp, #Lenovo & #TGCS keyboards for posterity for 5 years! I also enjoy PCs, ThinkPads, terminals & POS equipment. Stick around for #keyboard and #ThinkPad stuff?

@kobilacroix @katja and #Unicomp makes a #ModelM known as the "#EnduraPro"

  • Which is not as "sociable" if you ain't the only being in the room or if you are sensitive to #BucklingSpring noise...

@mjdxp Granted, it'a hueg chonker but I think in terms of practicality really lacking compared to a #Unicomp #PC122 / #ModelM 122 or even #F122 / #ModelF #Keyboard...

Last week, @trbutler reviewed the #Unicomp New #ModelM. This week he turns to #Matias’s #TactilePro, another legendary board with beloved #Alps switches that seeks to live up to the #Apple #AppleExtendedKeyboard. #mechanicalKeyboard #usb reviews.ofb.biz/sa1271

@electron_greg yeah, If I make the "#BigChungus" custom 122+ Key Keyboard I'll definitely have to avoid that issue as it bothers me so much I didn't bought a #Unicomp #PC122 because of it!

  • Also I want an "Inverse-T" - Navcluster...
