The iconic (and iconically clicky) IBM Model M keyboard has been a fan favorite for three full decades now - an unbelievable run in computer years. I take a look at the major revisions in this video, and I also answer the question of whether it's still worth buying one in this second age of mechanical keyboards. Is the Model M still the One True Keyboard, and if so, which one should you get? Some helpful links mentioned in the video: All of the different model numbers and minor variants of the "Enhanced Keyboard": https://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Enhanced_Keyboard The screw, nut and bolt mod featured in the video: https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/ibm-model-m-screw-nut-and-bolt-mod-t9169.html Another site with slightly different instructions: http://wiki.geekhack.org/index.php?title=Modifications:IBM_Model_M:Nut_and_Bolt_Mod Phosphor Glow will bolt mod your keyboard for you: http://phosphorglow.net/ Keep in mind that everyone does the screw/bolt mod a slightly different way. There's not one way to do it. Buy a pre-modded Model M on Ebay: http://ebay.to/2lWfkQy Where to get the screws, nuts, and bolts in my video: https://www.mcmaster.com/ Part #'s: Screws for screw mod: 91099A107 (I chose these on purpose for their undercut flat head) Screws for bolt mod: 92005A029 Nuts for bolt mod: 90591A111 You can also get the required 5.5mm long socket there: 7195A38 Unicomp if you just want a new Model M, but I can't vouch for these yet, and my understanding is that the quality isn't quite the same (then again, some say the same about the blue logo Lexmarks): http://www.unicomp.com IBM PC image attribution: Rama & Musée Bolo (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IMB_PC-IMG_7271.jpg) Subscribe to my channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/ModernClassic?sub_confirmation=1 Support me on Patreon!: http://www.patreon.com/modernclassic Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/modernclassicchannel/ And on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/modernclassicyt
