I really want to try the RT6856TW. There appear to be no videos on Youtube to demonstrate its sound. :(
After an absence of too many years, I will once again have a buckling spring keyboard :)
Really looking forward to a proper Mac layout and native USB. I know some have criticized the build quality because the molds are so old, etc., but my opinion is, as long as the switches perform, the rest is gravy. :)
Unicomp Ultra Classic 103 in White with Pearl & Pebble Key Caps
Here is the 104 Key version of the Unicomp Ultra Classic. You can see the shortened space bar to make room for the extra Windows key on the right.
So they havent started using the new equipment on all keycaps yet?
Here is a picture of the new 122 so you can see the difference in the legends as compared to the 103/104 keyboards.

Holy cow! Those look great!
I wish that they had used that equipment on the green alert set I bought a year ago, it is really shabby in comparison.
I chose the 103 version with the longer spacebar over the 104 verison with the extra windows key on the right. It was a $10 "upgrade."

It's Friday!
Has it arrived yet?
If so, what do you think of it?
I wish, rowdy. I'm on the west coast of the US, so it's still Thursday here.
I wonder.... should I try not to bottom out, or just let my fingers fly?
So does mine have the new legends? Unsure.
So, it's finally here! UPS took their time delivering. It didn't arrive until almost 6pm!
I am loving the feel and the sound. Pictures coming soon. A few of the keycaps came loose during shipping, but they just popped right back on.
Some of the legends are unconventional to say the least.
But what impresses me is how new my keyboard is. It was manufactured the day before I ordered it :)
More to come later
I have a Spacesaver M, though it hasn't gotten much use since I got rid of my Macintosh PCs. When I did use it.. I loved it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/jfzjOfn.jpg)
the volume down legend is quite non-standard. Most keyboards simply show fewer sound waves.
Mine actually looks quite a bit different from t888's. This post will be my first attempt at attaching a photo, so please forgive me if it comes out wrong.
But I can say this. My bottom row has a variety of sizes, and is not uniform like t888's. The left Option key and the Function key are both a very tiny size, somewhat less than 1U.

The Delete key, instead of having a simple arrow, has two fingers (actually, an American Sign Language letter H!) pointing at an x'ed out lower-case A.

And, though this is common to both our boards, the volume down legend is quite non-standard. Most keyboards simply show fewer sound waves. The Spacesaver M keeps them all, but merely reverses their order, from largest to smallest.
Lastly, a shot that shows off some of the overall legends
