Hello All,
After the "which IBM Mouse thread" became a discussion on typing I looked up the Model M and it is an impressive keyboard. I personally owned the original IBM XT keyboard as well an Omnikey (not-ultra) plus the myriads of knock-off cheapies, BTC, and Logitech keyboards but no Model M. I specially like the plastic injected molding in the Model M so the keys don't wear out, I don't think the Omnikeys ever had that feature.
But the Omnikeys were solid, massive keyboards. I am typing this on an iMac BT keyboard which would cower in their presence :grin:! I must admit there was something very satisfying about the Omnikey. You felt as if you were getting something done. But I digress.
I wanted to get input from people who have used both keyboards in the past as to which one they liked better?
