After my experience in 2012, this is a much much nicer keyboard.

Wow, the plastic molding really looks bad, like a cheap chinese toy.
-
What your main keyboard that you use mostly?
-
That plastic quality looks very horrible
-
And now the question of the question: Good enough for gaming? :D
-
I guess you could paint the case if the blemishes are really bothersome.

This product looks and feels solid as a rock when you get it, but BUYER
BEWARE! I did extensive research on which keyboard to buy because I
wanted something to last a lifetime. I am so tired of feeling guilty
for the ones that cost less than 25% of the price of this one that found
their way to the landfill over the years. I also wanted to support a
seemingly quality product manufactured in the US, so few that there are.
I treat all of my equipment very tenderly, and I do not eat or drink
anything around my computer. Within two months, the space bar would
just randomly stop working. And now, just about 10 months later,
suddenly 22 of my special character keys produce the wrong character
when I type. Notice there are none in this text. The product is under
warranty, but I live out of the country presently, and the cost for
shipping this 5 pound mammoth back and forth would equal the cost of the
keyboard. ANY keyboard a quarter of the price would last longer than a
year. And pay attention that the Unicomp warranty on this Model M
reproduction is only 1 year. How much confidence does that inspire?
People have Model Ms from the 1980s that are still working! I really
wanted to feel good about this purchase, but alas.... -
PS/2 isn't for "old" machines... My brand new Skylake motherboard has a PS/2 port.
-
Unicomp should really get into Model F production, if they have the capital for it.
-
And I'm here typing this on my IBM Model M! :)
-
I own one of these and I don't give a fig about the 'mold beauty'.

I just ordered one of these tonight to replace my old Lexmark made 1993 Model M so I can finally retire it. I have typed on this keyboard for the last 20 years solid. (I got this as a kid. I learned to spell and type on this EXACT keyboard I'm typing to you now on) Just time to upgrade as a couple of the keys on my M are starting to get unresponsive. I actually purchased one of those modern mechanical jobs they sell, and I used it for three hours before packing it back in the box and returning it to the store earlier today; Followed by getting home, hooking my IBM back up, using it to order my new Unicomp one.
Really, once you get used to one of these, everything else feels lousy to type on. -
Aw, that's a shame, I'd like to have a black model m, though, I'm typing on a normal 1988 one now, and it works great, it also looks much much better than that.
-
just ordered one of these, never thought id get so excited from the sound of a keyboard.
-
IBM spun off Lexmark (a bit like HP would Agilant a few years later).
-
I like these and Cherry MX Blue keyboards!!!!
-
I actually just bought a black and brilliant white Unicomp Ultra Classic 104 USB. I can handle some blemishes on the plastic as long as it feels good.
-
Keybord: $84. Shipping: at best if your lucky and no customs charge $64. How about no. Ordered stuff from the US before and that was only a fraction of the price Unicomp charges.
-
I dont know about you but that thing looks butt ugly. Its not the fact its an outdated design or anything. It just looks like it was assembled in some factory in china for $3.21 a pop.
-
I had one of those sound effect toys.
