Tenkeyless Buckling Spring
« on: Sat, 23 April 2011, 04:02:07 »
So after finally receiving my Leopold Tenkeyless /w MX blues I already want to try out buy another keyboard. I've been looking into buckling springs because it seems like it would be my cheapest option right now. Only thing is that I want a Tenkeyless Buckling Spring, and i can't find any websites that sell any, let alone ship to Canada. So are there any websites that sell Tenkeyless Buckling Spring keyboards AND ship to Canada, or do i have to go with a Unicomp Customizer?

You have Ibm space saver but they are expensive, rare and old.
And i mean VERY expensive around 200-400 $ ...

The unicomp spacesaver seems to be large and not tenkeyless

I've been kinda wondering the same thing - don't think they exist though.

Depends on the vintage of the Model M. The mod would be impossible on a Unicomp or later-generation IBM due to the controller slotting into the membrane over the numpad.

Stiffer, but far more tactile, smooth, and don't suffer the same issues such as the double tap problem and the relative fragility.

Well, given that BS are probably better for gaming than Cherry Blues, I'd say both.
