Commments from previous buyers.

Thank you for the adapter. It makes me feel like a dork to say it but it was nice to hear someone else preach the gospel of the one true input device. It was also very refreshing to be able to purchase something without being forced to endure some lame ass user registration process. It was great using a website that was well designed for ease of use.  Moments before I found your site based on recommendations for a working model M ps2 to USB adapter I bought three model M's. This batch will probably outlive me by decades and I won't need another keyboard for the rest of my natural life. However if there are great advances in the field of human longevity and I outlive these keyboards know that I will most definitely locate your company on the new web 42.0.

Thank you.  I found your site via techreport.com. I have just received my new IBM keyboard from clickykeyboards.com and I am extremely satisfied. The quality and construction is excellent and what I have always expected from IBM products.  I was completely unsatisfied after buying a "new" Unicomp SpaceSaver model M keyboard.  My initial bad impressions were confirmed after reading other user complaints about Unicomp and cheap "old" plastic injection molds.  Some excess plastic in the key mechanism was not properly trimmed during manufacturing and this caused the trackpoint right-click button to be less responsive.  The trackpoint pointer seemed very slow and it could not be adjusted to my liking via the OS control panel setting.  I was able to return the Unicomp keyboard for a refund and to instead purchase the ORIGINAL IBM keyboard from your company.  Thanks.

Best keyboard ever! I had one thousands of years ago and after going through at least 20 of those Chinese made heaps since, I started my search for the old Model M last week.  I've just plugged it in at work today and I love it!  Thanks for the less than 5 day delivery to Canberra, Australia for this lovely New Old Stock Model M.

Hi, Received my "new" old Model M keyboard the other day. I must say it's in absolute top condition, I'm really impressed. It works really well and is a treat to type on! All the best.

Hello again. Well, my keyboard shopping spree has come to an end. It has been a fun and exciting adventure in keyboard goodness. Thank you. I honestly didn't think I would let myself go this far, but here I am. I received the new 1989 model M on Monday and it is more perfect than I could have imagined. I'm sure I'm not the only one to go ga-ga over my new model M, and I'm sure I won't be the last, but I was quite taken away by the sheer perfection of my shiny new keyboard. Paying for a keyboard from the year 1989 was a bit of stretch for me, but oh well. Opening up the box, I knew I had not gone wrong. I guess I'm overdoing it, but I'm a translator (Japanese to English) and I am at the keyboard all day and most of the night. It is indeed quite a wonderful thing to work on a model M. Anyway, the '86 and '92 arrived today. As you said in the description, the '86 is "excellent". Both myself and a few discerning members of our staff are pretty much set for life.

Great usb/ps2 converter. It seems you have done an excellent job on the usb to ps2 converter. I wasted money on 2 other adapters which didn't work. I was trying to hook up a non-standard 8 button device with PS2 interface to my laptops USB and all other adapters failed. Good work/emulation, Thanks!

Hello friends at Clickykeyboards: I wanted to take some time to express my feelings as an overly satisfied customer. As a first time shopper of two weeks ago, I am now a lifetime customer. Within just 4 days of placing my order, the product arrived at my doorstep, in perfect, as stated, condition! I absolutely love the flashbacks I get while using my 1993 Model M, and I have recommended this keyboard to so many in the past week. You run a tight ship, and its great! Keep up the good work.

Seeing as how I just received and "installed" my very first IBM Model M keyboard, I thought it appropriate to email you with the first keystrokes and tell you what I thought. First of all, I was a little disappointed. My clean keyboard had a key that was popped off and it revealed a mass of dirt and crud under that one key. I guess it was just a missed spot, because the rest of it looks fine. At least now I know how to clean ( Qtip and alcohol ) around the key and replace one. I haven't tried to pop any of the other keys off yet, but when it needs cleaning I will.
(Wow, this thing sounds like a typewriter..with a little metallic 'ringing' sound along with the clicks. It is actually made of metal isn't it? Shocking.. :) I never used a computer until about 1998 or so. There was no such thing as PC when I was younger and in school. I just decided to learn about the new fangled Internet thing because I had a friend that was learning as well. My first real computer was an IBM. I quickly found out that IBM made the only quality computers, with the look and feel of a solidly made object, built to last and to use. It was a 1998 model PC 300 with a whopping 450mHz Pentium ll and upgraded to 64 megs of RAM. I put a 20gb Seagate drive in it and thought I would never use all that space. I bought an IBM G96 19' monitor for it as well. Big, solid and beautiful display. My most favorite accessory though, and the one my friends found the strangest was my original Kensington Expert Mouse. I'm guessing your familiar with those, maybe not. HUGE trackball device, with 4 buttons. I think they've made them since Windows 3.1 at least, maybe longer. But I love it, and am still using it as of this moment. It's got the feel of quality as well, and shows no signs of slowing down. Which brings me to the keyboard. Had never heard of IBM model M until I was puttering around the net one night, thinking of having to replace my latest IBM keyboard. I was buying their model KB9910 boards at least once every couple of years. The best tactile board I knew of, and much better than the normal cheap crap that as you know, comes with new PC's. I don't think there available anymore but I'm not sure. I was hoping to maybe find something better and lo and behold..your site popped up on a Google search. After mulling it over a while and wringing the last out of my other keyboard, I placed my order.
(Hmmmm,,starting to get the feel of this thing now..yeah I think I'm going to like it.) Well, that's a long/short story. I don't have the PC300 anymore, it finally had to be retired. I have a decent little Shuttle system now, but nothing like the solid feel and sound of my old IBM. But, my Kensington mouse is hooked up, and now with this Cool Model M, I think I'm going to like putting commands into the system on both ends. Mouse and Keyboard! What a pair, thanks for keeping these keyboards available. I'd have never known about them otherwise, and I do love quality made things..that let you know what they are everytime you have to touch them.

(Wow, you really can build up some speed and rhythm on this thing can't you? The whole time I've been typing this beast hasn't budged an inch. Usually I'm sliding the keyboard back into place, along with the wrist rest. Maybe I can start that novel I've been thinking about writing now!)

Hey, just wanted to follow up and say everything's working perfectly, I'm ecstatic being back on a REAL keyboard (it's beautiful, by the way; looked brand new!), although my co-workers are less than happy (they'll live), and I'm just totally pleased with how has everything worked out. You have a great niche business here; I just wish it lent itself to repeat business (from me). Thanks again for everything.

The keyboard arrived yesterday. The keyboard was exactly as described online- NOS Lexmark/IBM. I ripped out my existing keyboard- a soft touch clone mechanical keyboard from the late 80's- and plugged in the IBM: Bliss. I had not been sure that the difference between what I had been using and the IBM would be particularly noticeable. It was and it is. A pleasure to type on, bringing back fond memories of my old Selectric. I have been on a hunt for the "ideal" keyboard for a long time. I write for a living, so the quality of the keyboard I use matters more than it might for a casual PC user. Having plugged in the IBM keyboard, I think my search for the ideal is over. Thanks a lot!

Wow! A product that actually works! I have an old Wang 724 keyboard that I really, really like. Years ago I had to get a 5 pin DIN to PS/2 adapter so my keyboard would work on my last PC. Now I had to get a PS/2 to USB adapter to make it work on my newest PC. I tried all the simple ones and none of them worked. But your adapter works great! Can't you tell? My old Wang keyboard is alive again! Terrific! Thank you very much.

I also wanted to let you know that I recently purchased two 1391401 model M's from you guys and I am extremely pleased with the quality. At the same time I had also purchased a 1391401 off ebay that is supposedly new and never used. When I compare the keyboards i got from you with the new one, I can hardly tell the difference. You guys do a superb job over there. Keep up the good work. I will certainly be telling all my coworkers at MS that clickykeyboards.com is the place to go for quality vintage model m keyboards.

Thanks for speedy service clickykeyboards. It was so easy and I could not be a happier gamer girl. I purchased a model M keyboard from you on Monday and received it 2 days later via priority mail. Thank you Thank you. I finally, finally have the great keyboard that I have been looking for.
I so wish I had found your site earlier. More than a month ago, I won an ebay auction for the same keyboard from {name of seller removed} who is located very near me and is in the same state where I go to school (University of Georgia). I followed the ebay seller's directions exactly and paid immediately via PayPal, but he never acknowledged. I tried to politely ask him via email for a shipping confirmation and when the item would ship. After reading his ebay ad that was filled with paragraphs of overbearing legal contract terms, I followed all his rules that said that the shipping center will ship item within 10-14 days. After 2 weeks of not even knowing if my order was received, I even offered to drive the 2 miles away and pick up the item myself. I tried to contact the ebay seller dozen of times via email but never received an accurate response. Now 45 days since the initial transaction have past and I have tried to get ebay to give me back my money. It seems like they auto forwarded me to Paypal and now Paypal has opened an investigation against (name of seller removed), but it seems like a bunch of scripted robot e-mails. Paypal now wants me to get an official police report before they will take next step further into the investigation. (aboutpaypal.org)
Anyway, it would have been so much easier, simpler and less stressful had I bought from you guys first -- before going to play on ebay's marketplace.

Finally, a working PS/2 -> USB adapter!
Woohoo! I have tested several other adapters (including a rather expensive Ymouse one), but this is the first I have found that let me use alt/shift/ctrl modifier keys correctly. I am especially happy that they did not get "unpressed" after other keys were pressed and released.

Another programmer at the office was only too eager to trade her "noisy" IBM keyboard for the mushy device I was using. That was my introduction to the glorious Model M. It was like sitting down to a Steinway concert grand after years of playing a cheap toy. Some months ago I purchased from you a white label IBM Model M to use with the home computer; and I’ve just ordered another to be paired with a laptop. Thanks for offering these fine products. No complaints about the service either.

Thanks for the help with the shipping. The keyboard arrived safe and sound
and has been put into daily use already. If I ever need another I know where
to come.

I bought a keyboard from you and it came yesterday. I just wanted to thank you for the amazing refurbishing job that you did on the keyboard, it’s nearly impossible to tell that it is not new. If I ever need any more of these keyboards, even if they may be cheaper on Ebay, I will definitely be coming to you. Thanks again for the amazing keyboard!

I have received the Model M today. It’s heavier than any rubber dome keyboard that I have ever tried, but the feeling that this keyboard gives when I type is much better than the rubber dome stuff. I have tried various other keyboards, many of them too light to the touch that it made my fingers feel weak and want to push my finger harder down each
time I press my finger down. I play the upright bass (the giant thing), and the fingers require much more strength to press down on the strings. The difference in the amount of strength is a lot. However, there was this one older rubber dome made in China that took too much effort just to press one stinking key (it’s too hard to describe but gosh, I can still feel that crappy feeling on my fingertips). Banging of those delicate keyboards would cause them to jam or even break and make it "incapacitated" for typing.
It’s been ten years since I have used a Model M keyboard. I hope this "primitive", yet practical, buckling spring technology will last through the years. Thanks again for the great keyboard. The money is worth it for the keyboard to last at least ten times longer (especially with the replaceable parts) than any rubber dome that I see today in the market. The long cord provided me the ability to attach the keyboard from the table to the computer on the ground. And it's true, I actually do make fewer typos.
