Title: Unicomp Mini-M (IBM SSK repro) review (buckling springs)
Post by: chyros on Sun, 21 March 2021, 07:54:33
Today we look at a prototype of Unicomp's new "Mini-M", which is basically a buckling spring TKL inspired by the IBM "SSK" Space Saving Keyboard. Hope you enjoy the video! :)

Great review - I've missed these :D

Maybe people today don't realise you can adjust the mouse tracking speed, thus their mouse pointers move really slowly, and they need to move the mouse much further across the desk to cover the same distance of the mouse pointer moving across the screen.  I always put my mouse's tracking speed to maximum.

The main reason why I don't use my SSKs (one IBM and one Lexmark) is the absence of a Win key - making this Unicomp keyboard very tempting.

I'll gladly order one of these if they can get a beige version, preferably with blockers and green or amber lock lights.

You can have it in any colour you like as long as it is black :p

Well there is this magical stuff called paint, it can change the color of a board to your liking.
