Hi
zerogravitas:
Hi all,
I'm a recent convert to mechanical switch and buckling spring keyboard goodness, and stumbled over this site recently while researching them. I've devoured the forum here, and I am well on my way to turning into a keyboard junkie. I blame you all. :p
Anyway, I'm typing this on my recently arrived 1991 IBM Model M 1391401 keyboard. I am quite taken with it. :) I'm also toying with trying some types. Does anyone know anything about older Dell labeled KBs with supposedly clicky black alps switches? Thanks!
iMav:
The Dell AT101W keyboards (in both black and white) have black Alps switches. I think there are a few currently up for sale on Ebay...and clickykeyboards occasionally has some in stock.
Welcome to GeekHack! We'd love to see some picks of your Model M. :) (I'll be posting a stickied thread for keyboard collections sometime soon...maybe in the next 10 minutes)
Love the avatar, btw.

Ahhh, cool. Thanks. I've yet to try any of the alps switches, and I am rather curious abut them. I may try to pick one up at some point. :)

Thank you! I'll try to borrow my wife's camera sometime this week and take a few shots for the board.

Thanks. :) Are you a fan of the Venture Brothers as well then?
