Model Mkeyboards are a group of computer keyboards designed and manufactured by IBM starting in 1985, and later by Lexmark International, Maxi Switch, and Unicomp. The keyboard's different variations have their own distinct characteristics, with the vast majority having a buckling-spring key design and uniform profile, swappable keycaps.

The New Model M buckling spring keyboard has the same mechanism, feel and layout as the original IBM Model M keyboard, but with a slightly smaller footprint. With the much-loved buckling spring key design these keyboards have been prized by computer enthusiasts and robust typists because of the tactile and auditory feedback of each keystroke.

2021年4月7日 · Unicomp’s New Model M is a $104 mechanical keyboard with a design that dates back to IBM’s legendary Model M. Its buckling spring key switches feel amazing to type on, but their stiffness and...

2024年7月25日 · The Type 1 122-key Model M was the first Model M (membrane buckling spring bearing) take on the IBM Converged Keyboard, continuing the "battleship" lineage started by the 127-key Model F. The "M122" first appeared as the "membrane type (new type)" keyboard unit for the IBM 3205 Color Display Console by September 1985, contrasting the ...

2018年11月13日 · 第三代m就是最常见的利盟生产的版本，首先在logo设计上有明显的差别，从原来的白底灰字变成了灰底蓝字。 其次，在内胆的轴板上增加了防泼溅设计，通过导流槽将液体引到远离关键元器件的部位，最终从键盘底部的开孔中排出。

2023年10月16日 · Comparison & classifications of 122-key IBM Model M keyboards (redux!) Hi! A few years ago, I wrote a guide on the different types of 122-key Model Ms (aka, "M122s") explaining how there were four distinct types of them and how Unicomp later adapted some of the later ones to suit their needs.

2020年4月25日 · In a world where rapidly changing technology feels increasingly disposable, one thing remains constant in my computer setup: my 34-year-old IBM 101-key Enhanced Keyboard, commonly known as the Model M. Here's why I'll never give up its clicky keys and ideal layout. The 1981 IBM PC came with an 83-key keyboard (commonly known as the "Model F").

2020年3月26日 · The IBM Model M was once an outstanding keyboard, but technology has greatly improved and modern keyboards offer more features, like RGB backlighting or programmable keys. This vintage keyboard still offers an outstanding typing experience with unique buckling spring switches.

IBM released the 'Model M' keyboard in 1985, which popularized the standard ANSI keyboard layout present on all computers today (something that is often overlooked and taken for granted). It uses the same buckling spring mechanism as present on the Model F keyboards, but instead uses a rubber membrane behind the spring switches (essentially it ...

2023年10月11日 · Simply put, generations understood for other Model M variants don't translate to the M122's outward appearance with basically a single exception. Enter Types, which I specified to be a way differentiating the outside and connectivity of M122 without implying one replaces the other. Changes include: More photos
