I see no reason to think they are not doing fine at the moment, except perhaps that they haven't bothered to keep their own domain.
Their core business is filling corporate orders, and they've stuck to that core business pretty much to the exclusion of all else. This is somewhat of a disappointment to some geekhackers, since there are neat products we would like to see with the Model M mechanism. But, more importantly, from their point of view, there's a potential danger.
If that core business gradually declines, because fewer and fewer businesses - whether out of force of habit, or because, like Topre's corporate customers, they find it worth dollars and cents to get more accurate typing from their employees with a quality keyboard with feedback - feel a need for exact Model M replacements, or 104-key modernized model Ms... then, unless there's something else to fall back on, what will be left?
I don't know how well their core business is doing, so I can't worry too much.
Also, it's unclear to me to where they could branch out. Any direction of interest to us would involve buckling springs. Is there any reason to think that HP or DELL would suddenly switch to including $70 buckling spring keyboards with their products instead of quieter $20 rubber dome keyboards? Is there any reason to think that Unicomp could succeed if it started competing with Cybernet and ASUS by making computers-in-a-keyboard, especially if under a handicap of using a more expensive keyboard mechanism?
The only thing I can see as plausible - which would lead to a product some here at GH, including myself, would like - is branching out into the Point-of-Sale market more fully. Other companies make point-of-sale keyboards that are both programmable and using mechanical switches. Accurate data entry is important in the point-of-sale world, so buckling springs could carve out a place there.
