Should we be worried for Unicomp?

[Internetlad]

I own a Unicomp SpaceSaver 104, Use it at work and love the heck out of the thing. I was reading an (old) article on NPR about unicomp and the 'boards they produce, which got me thinking, it really is a niche market. Even amongst enthusiasts, are unicomp boards valued at their price (New 80 bucks+ shipping) over a model m (used ~40)?

You don't hear people asking about new BS keyboards, it's IBM Model M this and that. The old M's are built like tanks, and rarely break, so they don't make much off of replacement parts and I doubt they even bother with a service station deal. I think Unicomp is carrying out a real labour of love here. (They've been demoted from what IBM used to mass produce, to a niche market where they're running a Yahoo! store and customized phone orders)

Weigh in. Is it known about Unicomp's status businesswise? Am I wrong? Should we be worried for new BS keyboards?

Someone should just redesign their website for them.



Keyboards.

We should worry for our own financial problem after buying so many mechanical keyboards, and let Unicomp managers worry for themselves.

For durability Unicomp should learn a bit from Razer which got much revenue from teenage gamers with not so durable but good looking keyboards
