Thank you so much.  My 1994 IBM Model M Keyboard arrived today (12/6/09). I'm using it now - I forgot how much I missed using this keyboard. It is just terrific. I think my wife wants one now!

Today I got your parcel (10/31/09), in Malaysia, It took 10 days to reach me, The package was in very good external conditions, You have done a very nice packaging, after opening the package, I found , only  Alt key, ctrl key and  ESc  key caps (from the same side) are separated from the second key cap piece, and also beneath the spacebar, the upper casing is little separated from the lower frame, I think that could be due to shipments abuse, The packing you guys put have done their wonderful job to protect the keyboard, I have fixed the 3 keys by pressing them back and pressed back the upper and lower frame together again, and here I go..
 
I am typing my first words to you guys to say one word, thank you very much for making my dreams a reality, I was dreaming to use this keyboard again. After I use it to write my BSc final year project in 1996, I am doing my PhD now in 2009 in Malaysia and I will enjoy using it to write my PhD thesis in the near future.

Just wanted to thank you for the superb service offered by your site.  The keyboard (and adaptor) subject to the order below was delivered today at approximately 1pm in the afternoon (9/1/09).  All in perfect working order, plugged it straight into my Apple Mac, modified the preferences as per your help section and ..  ... what else would I type if not a thank you mail.  This certainly is in a separate league to the keyboards that I am accustomed to and worth all your efforts to keep them in circulation.  If I can afford to buy another in the future, to plug in at work, I may well do so, as it will be quite a disappointment now each day, with the contrast to the keyboard I have at home!  thanks again, from another happy convert.

Oh, many, many hugs to you for sending me a new Model M keyboard (7/23/09). My poor old Model M has been in constant use since it's conception in 1993. It's gotten a tad wiggy about the shift key, etc. After 16 years, it's now getting a well deserved retirement. Thanks again. NO OTHER KEYBOARD WILL DO! (Typing this on the new "M".) Again, many hugs! ;o)

USB/PS2 adaptor/converter
After spending over $80.00 on devices promising to make my old and much loved HP keyboard, your device actually worked. It got here in 3 days (7/9/09), we plugged it in, and there it went. I am so happy not to have to use the new flimsy keyboards. I do medical transcription, type 8 hours a day, and go through at least 2 keyboards a year. Thank you so much!!

I have picked up my keyboard today (5/11/09) and I'm typing on it right now. I can't tell you how happy I am! It's a thrill ride! As a freelance translator, I spend 5 to 8 hours a day typing and this keyboard has turned my job into sheer pleasure. I guess I forgot how good it felt when I last used one, back in the 90's. And you are to be commended for making these awesome keyboards available in new condition! My deepest gratitude!
- Florin U., (Romania)

I received my 2 orders quite promptly (5/05/09) and I am impressed, delighted and thankful I found your website. I recently got a new tower that had only usb ports and my ps/2 keyboard and mouse were not functioning well. I happened upon your site when I was just looking for an explanation and read about an 'active vs passive adapter'. I ordered this first and kept going back to your site intrigued by the hype around the keyboards and your obvious passion for this product.

After 10 years and never having been particularly satisfied with the many keyboards (and mice) I have tried I timidly paid the price for another attempt to be rid of the 'mush' under my fingertips. What an
astounding difference! Nothing has ever even come close to the key response from this board. It is like a breath of the freshest air that almost draws me to use this device. The tactile feedback gives me an
impressive amount of control and involvement in the composition. It is so much more than touch. Thank you for keeping this product alive and noticed in the world.

- James B. (Toronto, Canada)

Thanks for all your help I just picked up the keyboard at the post office (4/8/09) and I have to say it is the best keyboard that I have ever typed on in my life and it significantly increases my typing speed even more so than my apple extended keyboard 2!! I have to say that this has been an excellent experience and I will be recommending your website to all my friends. Thanks again.

Fantastic Work.  I'm happy to report I've just recieved my 1987 Model M (1/27/09) and I'm amazed at the condition. I know Model M's are built the survive the apcolypse, but the responsive feel after 21 years of service is shocking. A great step up over my previous keyboard, sadly dome-based 71G4644 Model M. Phenominal job cleaning the keycaps, everything is pristine. The guys at work were impressed, thought slightly pissed at the noise. Long story short you've done an amazing job and I look forward to getting more M's to replace every crap keyboard I have

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my purchase (12/16) (unused 82G2383). I am a 3D Character Animator just finishing up with school. I work primarily in Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop, programs that depend heavily on keyboard shortcuts. After two years of missed keystrokes on my mushy Microsoft keyboard, I was about to go crazy. I have a deep respect for finely made tools, and I was ecstatic to find that someone is working to preserve these keyboards. I really appreciate what you're doing here. In today's disposable world of computers, it's refreshing to see something that's truly worth holding onto. My Model M sits proudly next to my Wacom tablet and my 3DConnexion as the finest tools available to the digital artist. Thanks to Clicky Keyboards for introducing me to the Model M. You made it possible for me to have my own little piece of computer history. I'm practically the first person to use these keys. To me, that's something special.

Received order - thanks.  Hi, Just received my package. All looks OK. Thank you again for fast service (ordered on 11/24, received internationally on 12/2) , and making this available in the first place. Best regards,

Just purchase a model M from you (11/21) and I couldn't be happier. i was a little anxious about buying due to the price, however, upon receiving the keyboard, it is obvious to me that it was well worth the price tag. the shipping was very fast. the packaging was very well done, and made me feel like you care about the keyboards even after they leave your warehouse. all of my friends are insanely jealous of my new "clickyboard," and i have given every single one of them your web address. probably one of the single best purchases i have ever made. you have certainly made a lifelong customer, and i cannot wait to buy another model m from you.

I received my 2 new keyboards today (11/15) and I cannot tell you how THRILLED I am to be able to type normally again!  Had my previous keyboard for 12 years and it finally gave out after years of abuse and spills. Have looked high and low for these keyboards and am so happy to have found your site!  The packaging was excellent and these look amazing!  It is obvious you take great pride in your work.  Expecting these will last nearly forever, but if I ever need another one, I will definitely buy from you again!  A friend tried it out this morning and was amazed so hopefully that is your first referral from me. Thanks again, I am one happy typer again :-)

I am typing this with my new "clicky" keyboard - it's just what I wanted and takes me back to my early secretarial days when I used an IBM golf ball machine!  It arrived safely on Monday (15 Sep 2008) - very quick delivery, thank you. And thank you, too, for your courteous and efficient service.  Kind regards.

Enjoying my new IBM model M...PERFECT

Earlier, I emailed you guys asking if there was any way to fix the sticky spacebar on my new IBM model M keyboard (9/08).  Well, the problem went away completely in a couple of days, and I have used this baby without any problems since.  The weight of the keyboard means I can have the edge hanging over the lip of my keyboard tray, giving me more room for the mouse, and the thing doesn't budge.  The feel is absolutely outstanding, and my typing speed has increased by at least 10 wpm.  I love the machinegun sound it makes when you really get up to speed on this bad boy.  Makes you feel like a computer hacker. 

I just wanted to send a word of thanks for digging this *unused* gem out of some warehouse, and selling it to me for such a reasonable price.

I got my Model M keyboard today and my HP computer immediately accepted it via the adapter/converter you sent along with it.  It's great to be able to type a whole sentence with no errors due to brushing neighboring keys.  Many thanks.  I'm so glad I found your site (8/28).

Hi, Received my IBM Model M today, I absolutely love it already. Was clean as, feels like new. Thanks heaps mate! I posted up some pictures on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/webraconteur/2804859302/ Cheers (8/28),

Hey guys, I just wanted to shoot you a quick note and express how absolutely pleased I am with my new model M. I just got it in today actually having purchased on Wednesday (08/06/08). And I'm still within my first hour of using it. I'm coming from a Dell AT101W keyboard and while it's a solid board, the model M absolutely blows it out of the water. I purchased one of the 1995 models and like I've said a few times now, I'm amazed at how much I enjoy this board. Thanks for running this site and selling these great boards. You guys rock!

I ordered one over the past weekend. I received it yesterday (8/08). It was installed this morning on my Northgate keyboard and works perfectly. If only all service and products could be so nearly perfect. Thank you very much.
 - Oran W. (Texas)
________________________________________

Thanks. I have a Northgate OmniKey/102 keyboard that I adore and just bought a Dell computer that only has a USB input for the keyboard. One converter I bought elsewhere worked spasmodically at best. The one I bought from you, however, does the trick. Current keyboards are awful...and I'm delighted to be back on my Northgate. THANKS! (7/19)
- Dan D. (New York, NY)
________________________________________

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.  (7/09)

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. (6/28)

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 (2/12) 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 (1/10).

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 Mo
