Seriously, what the hell is a model m?

Is it just the keyboard?

[–] Ropianos@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago

The only thing I could find is an old-school keyboard by IBM. I guess that's it and OP just likes the hacker vibes of using that kind of keyboard?

Ah. I don't think I'll ever know that particular pleasure. I won't be able to go back after switching to a preonic/Dvorak.

You can order their custom keyboard with US Dvorak layout.

That wouldn't help the ortholinear issue though.

A model of keyboard that has been in continuous production since 1985 through to this day. They are well liked for their modern layout, long lifespan (ones made in 1985 still going strong to this day), and high quality clicky mechanism (blows cherry blues out of the water imho).

FWIW, if you don’t have to work in the same room with others, and you write a lot of code or prose, it is a really great typing experience.

I have the Mac layout version for my work computer and I love it. The people on my conference calls, not so much.
