Greatest keyboard of all time?
Doug Clark:
The one in the photo was built Sep 1993, and is hooked up to my ASUS/AMD system via a PS/2 to USB convert that runs through a USB KVM switch.
I am partial to the IBM Model M, as is the Linus Tech guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM.
I get parts for mine at www.clickykeyboards.com
If you are partial to the older Model F you might be able to pick up a new modern one from https://www.modelfkeyboards.com
This guy is "Bringing back the classic buckling spring keyboard, built to last for decades but out of production since the 1980s, for a short production run ending soon!" He is building the F62 Model F – Kishsaver and the F77 Model F. I don't like the keyboard layouts of the Model F, but you can get customization of the key layouts so that it comes close to the Model M.
Alex Taylor:
Unicomp has been manufacturing buckling-spring keyboards for many years, and continues to do so, including model M layout models. They also do special orders for specific IBM models, apparently.

Thanks

I'm a fan of Cherry ErgoPlus MX 5000 Keyboards (with MX 5700 Numeric Keypad) like in https://www.geek.com/chips/cherry-mx-5000-auction-1491235/. It cured me from RSI (repetitive strain injury) and so I understand why people are willing to spend such an insane amount of money on such ancient keyboards.
