Title: Inside a Unicomp.
Post by: Meyvn on Wed, 09 September 2009, 19:37:50

Hey everyone.  So I've been trawling the internet (and Geekhack) for this, but either I'm a poor searcher and I missed it, or it's just very difficult to find/not around.  

Thanks to this wonderful article (http://www.pcworld.com/article/147939-2/inside_the_worlds_greatest_keyboard.html), I've managed to see inside a Model M.  I know it's substantially the same as the current Unicomp customizers, but does anyone have pictures I could look at of their newly (and I use this term loosely) added USB version of the key controller?  Or at the very least tell me, is it bigger or smaller than the PS/2 controller? Does it use roughly the same ribbon design? Is it positioned in the same place? Thanks!

Wait, so it's all under the LED cover AND it's smaller? Dude, you are my freaking hero.  The Model M had a bunch of crap that goes immediately behind the back in the middle. Unseemly.
