IBM SSK + Clack Factory Checkey [Thanks to Nubbs!]
« on: Sun, 01 February 2015, 21:00:26 »
Hello everyone, a little while ago, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire this special keycap, thanks to the nubbinator and his raffle sale!

I had promised pictures, but wasn't able to get many satisfactory ones myself.
Fortunately, Zeal@ZealPC is local to me, and offered to help take some quality photos, thanks again Zeal!

Without further delays, I present to you, my IBM 1987 Model M SSK:  :eek: :p ;)

Lovely pictures.

Now I really can't wait to get my NIB SSK and pair it up with a silver checkey, also courtesy of the wonderful nubbinator.

Should I copy you completely and get RGBs too? :confused:

I am glad you like it ;)

Every time I press that Esc key, I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside :) Thanks again!

RGBs are cool, I'd say definitely give it a try :)

Nice caps. It makes me want an ssk to try buckling spring but so expensive.  :'(

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thanks for all the kinds words everyone...

Despite not being all that custom, and old as hell, this is probably the keyboard that is dearest to me, as I used a Model M in my elementary school the first time that I've ever used a computer :O

Hopefully I can win more BS caps for this one, hopefully one of the new Brobots and Brocaps for BS! (Will have to bother Zeal again to take more pics :))
