Hello Geekhack
« on: Wed, 01 January 2014, 20:12:07 »
Though I've been researching mechanical keyboards for awhile (not to mention lurking around here), I finally took the plunge and joined after I bought a 122 key IBM 1394100 Model M after seeing one at a music store.

I'm really looking forward to modding it with a teensy and using all those wonderful extra keys, based on what I've already learned in the short time I've been here.

Well, it seems that their database system still runs an IBM Twinax machine, which is what these keyboards were originally used for.
