A weird Model M with a strange layout I've never seen

(1/1)

It seems like an ordinary Model M in many ways, but I've never seen a layout like this before. The keys seems to be odd.

The key mechanism was also used by IBM typewriters. From what I can see here the layout matches the IBM Wheelwriter 10 and the Personal Wheelwriter (1988), and the Wheelwriter 15 and Personal Wheelwriter 2 (1990).

akkk44:

Pyroo:
Fun fact some of the typewriters like these use the springs from a model f.
