Haha I know that feel. Certain things I much prefer on the M are the layout and the sound, and I was adamant that the Fs were dumb. Then I forced myself to try to legitimately use an XT and I can't go back to wasting so much space with that nav cluster on my tiny ass desk. I even got used to the sound. Hopefully I'm just slowly going deaf on the high pitched part.
I still plan on moving to an M122 battleship when I get a bigger desk or move. I even have a
rubber dome model just in case I need to go quiet on that bad lad. I dread the day my wife gets tired of the clack and I need to use some **** tier switch or, got forbid, floss mod.
And it's moot now that the M122 is here. ) It was just too cheap to pass up. Even with the cost of a converter it's well below the Unicomp in price. Which means that the answer to my original question is "New Model M."
The only problem is the beige. So much square beige footage...
Hey no problem man, I didn't know there was a price difference. I would have gone with cheaper myself. Also battleships are ****ing boss. A New Model M, to uninitiated, looks like a normal keyboard. Ain't nobody gonna miss your big honking monstrosity. I have a lot myself. Learn it, love it.
