Title: [SOLD] Unicomp Ultra Classic..."like new", $68 shipped
Post by: ander on Sat, 07 October 2017, 16:52:15

Unicomp UB4044A IBM Model M Style Wired Keyboard Clicky USB (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unicomp-UB4044A-IBM-Model-M-Style-Wired-Keyboard-Clicky-USB-/132355417152)


(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ePgAAOSwna1Z2UlK/s-l1600.jpg)


Description: "Like new customer return. no problem with it." $50 + $18 U.S. shipping.

These are normally $84 + shipping (http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UW40P4A)—and I'm not sure, but the two-tone keys may be extra.

BTW, it really does look like Unicomp's made an effort to improve their printing... Their legends haven't always been as uniformly aligned as this.  ;?)

Correct.

They are now selling their keyboards via MassDrop and I've noticed their legends are far superior than in the past.

Suspect when it's shown Internationally on MD and our constant put downs of their product, they eventually listened and fixed up a lot of mistakes which were previously allowed to pass through.

I wonder if the keycaps/keys are also being deburred and made better as well?  That's one of the things I noticed when I bought large print keycaps for my parents' Model Ms.
