"Only" two? Some folks are still chomping at the bit to get their first.

Even though TKL is the latest "thing".

Welcome Donk! I have a full-size model M and SSK, both are very awesome in their own way, especially the full size since I got that as a gift!

Welcome to Geekhack!

I only have 5 :p  Although the M122 I don't know if it works., but I have a list of suggestions to get it working and how to mod it to suit my preferences.  I just lack the time to do it :))

I also might be able to take one of my SSKs (not industrial, unfortunately) back to work :D

Are your Ms bolt-modded?  Teensy-modded?  SSK or full size?  Or 122 key?

I don't yet know what an Industrial SSK is just by the sound of it I grow envious.

SSK: Space Saving Keyboard, would be referred to as a "tenkeyless" these days since it lacks the numpad but has everything else as usual.

Industrial: IBM buckling spring keyboards sold with some industrial equipment. Their main peculiarity is a gray, instead of beige case. Special, color-coded, purpose made keys are common on them as well.

Industrial SSK: combination of the above, rare, sought after, and has reached stratospheric prices in auction before.

That sums it up quite nicely :)

Including the prices, unfortunately.

I spent more than a year looking for an affordable SSK, and ended up getting two within a few weeks of each other!

I am the proud owner of a few BS boards, I think the next step for you would be a Model F. Capacitive BS is SOOOOOOOOOO nice :)

A Model F is one of the few keyboards still on my wish list.
