My 1989 Model M cleaned up nicely...

It's actually a teeny bit whiter than my blue label unit. I also dig the green legends in the Alt keys and the gray numpad legends for cursor/document controls. Loving it--it's now officially my home keyboard.

According to clickykeyboards, the numpad legends come in black, light and dark gray, and light and dark brown, as well as blue (rare).

Personally, after having owned all of them, I think, my preference is the light brown.

Hmm. Looking at the keys right now (I'm typing on it) and the numpad legends look more like light brown than pure gray...They're basically the same color as the darker keys. Also, the regular black legends looks a tiny less black than my '93 board.

Cool...but I'm going to have to draw the line at hipster instagram photos of keyboards.  No sepia filters....it's a party foul!

No Instagram...It was a quickie pic and the lighting was so-so, so I slapped some Fhotoroom filters for the heck of it. Oh, wait...YOUR avatar is sepia!

Lmao...my avatar is civil war vampire nick cage...it was sepia before sepia was cool.  Hipster claim overruled.

Okay, here ya go, straight from my huge home office.

That pic is awesome jkercado!  I love the trackman on its own (use them for years) but it really fits a tight desktop with a big keyboard.  The Model M is a battleship in many ways.

Thanks!

My house is rather small, and all bedrooms are occupied. When we were painting the master bedroom walk-in closet (which is irregularly shaped), I realized that there was a nook that would be perfect for a small home office. I built the desk shelf and an additional shelf on top, installed a fluorescent light, routed an extension cord for a multi-plug under the carpet, got me a small IKEA chair, and voilá, office space.

I see that all the time on those home remodeling shows on HGTV etc.  and it seems to work great for people.

I hope you have a good fan to keep yourself cool, my office can get crazy hot after a couple hours and I have a window
