Can Model M2 keycaps fit on old Model M ?
« on: Sun, 28 September 2014, 16:28:20 »
Simple question, anyone with both a Model M and a M2 can check if they keycaps are interchangeable?

M2 Keys seem lower fore sure but can they be used in original M?

Thx in advance.

No.

Big mistake by IBM.

Stems may "work" but heights are all wrong.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
