My daily driver is an IBM Model M made in 1984. Has a very satisfying sound on every keystroke - satisfying to me anyway ;)

Are you sure about that? IIRC, all Model M keyboards say "1984" on them, but that's a copyright date, not the manufacturing date. There should be another inscription somewhere with the actual manufacturing date (day/month/year, not just year).

In fact, according to Wikipedia, Model Ms did not start production until 1985: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard


Yeah you're right. I always forget that. Date: 11-5-91


nice. 1995 ibm aptiva keyboard here. it’s still the same as on day 1.
