It's louder than all hell and takes up half my desk, but it feels incredible. Made with the original tooling, moulds, etc. by ex-IBM and Lexmark employees. I don't even want to type fast, man, I wanna slow cruise this Caddie around the block. It's like all my fingertips are playing God Hand.

i make games and music, sometimes.

I can't use it with my current setup which makes me mad cuz I have a proper office now, which is the solution to the other problem I had of when Lena and I shared an office and she literally couldn't stand hearing KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK every day
Oh yeah if I didn't have a door to close in my office room this would be hell on everyone else. It might still be. haha.
GOD these unicomp boards are so good. eventually i "upgraded" to a genuine 1992 IBM Model M that i found at the dump and personally restored, though the typing feel was only slightly different tbh. i love those buckling spring switches!!!
edit: here's the post where i showed the restoration

Ahhhh this rules. I started down this path because I was at RE-PC and they had three different era Model Ms and an SGI rubberdome lol. The Model Ms felt great, but they had various issues and I wasn't sure what kind of project I would be getting myself into. Went home, and further research led me here. Erica talked me into it, more or less, lol. It's gigantic, and it sounds gigantic, and it feels ridiculously pleasant.
been using my unicomp for 15 year almost now. my favorite keyboard, even if it doesnt have a backlight. repaired it only once after an orange juice incident, and thier customer service was great. (story from 12 years ago)
