Which M has best key feel?
marrt:
I've read several times that certain M's have a slightly better key feel. I'm using a 1993 M at the moment made by Lexmark. I seem to remember the early M's had a different feel and sound. If I want to find one of the earlier IBM keyboards, what should I look for? Model number, year built, etc...
iMav:
All three of my Model M mini's feel the same. (the newest was assembled just last fall)
;)

Model number 1390120, 1390131, or 1391401. Those are the best three models, IMO (if you're looking for 101-key.)
My best keyboard for typing feel is a 1391401 built on June 3, 1993.
xsphat:
my 1391401 feels like crap at the bottom, but the top of the stroke is pretty nice. But the Filco is still the best for typing ...

i have two model M keyboards, made by lexmark, one is the M5-1 and the other the M5-2, the latter have better feeling, i assume because the M5-1 doesnt have two part pieces for the keys....
