On typing |
I love my keyboard but the girl hates it, I'm only allowed to have a
mechanical switch keyboard in my den now.
This mandate just came down this morning after I woke around 6:00 and
did some typin' in the kitchen. Apparently "they can be heard *all over
the house*"
click, click, clickety, click, clique
My main keyboard also just turned 19 this month! But I have about 5 or
so and the oldest looks like it's going to be 23 come this summer.

Not here! I got a big piece of bulletproof glass when they took apart a
local gas station. It's just under 2"...and it would take a bullet for me.

There's gotta be SOMETHING to catch that ricochet action. Somebody could
get hurt.

Nope, click click.
The mechanical nature of these keyboards is what makes them feel so
wonderful but with that comes their acoustic joie de vivre.
IBM didn't skimp a bit on their hardware. That's why these keyboards are
so loved. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_Keyboard).
Type hard or go home.
********
For two decades, the IBM Model M Keyboard has been the defacto standard
human interface for force-feedback computing. Constructed with "buckling
spring" action and a chassis that doubles as a weapon

Oh my gosh. That's pretty old. I would have guesses those would almost
predate the invention of the PC.

It's the same basic thing that was in the first IBM PCs. IBM patented
this particular keyboard "technology" in 1978.

I love those keyboards, didn't know they had a name (mechanical
switch). Can you still get them anywhere? Clickety, clickety, click
feels so much more rewarding.

You can search for Model M on ebay, there's still NOS (new old stock)
around and there's Unicomp (http://www.pckeyboard.com/) that bought the
whole shebang from IBM/Lexmark. They make new ones in all manner of
configurations.
Here's Dan's column about them: http://www.dansdata.com/ibmkeyboard.htm
He's a PC hardware geek out of Australia who's a hell of a lot of fun to
read.

if you can afford it get a notebook keyboard, you can write with a
stylus and it will translate into text.
or get an onscreen keyboard. when i suffered RSI and needed and
alternative to the mouse, i got a Wacom art pad with stylus but i had
the keyboard in a drawer and it was inconvenient working with both, i
got the onscreen keyboard so i didn't have to keep pulling out the
drawer. it's great for when you do a lot of editing.
