Im following in your footsteps, chryos!  Love your videos.

I like the smaller form factor of the Model M2, but not the ultra cheap factor. The IBM 8923 was built better than the M2. 

Guess Ill stick with the Unicomp Ultra Classic.

The one thing that's interesting about it, really, is the sound. If you like pinginess, it's better than a Model M. And, like you said, it's smaller, by a considerable amount, in fact. Bizarrely, even the IBM rubber dome keyboard I showed in this video has a metal plate in it Oo . But not the M2!
