1 inch square or 24.5 mm square for people who use non-Imperial measure

25.4 mm side length would be the correct conversion for 1 inch.

I just measured from my 122 Model F and it was about 21mm squared.

No one who speedruns is a millionaire, ****ing hot *****es, doing actual important things in life. Everyone who speedruns is a degenerate and getting world records is the only way to feel good about themselves, [how many hours have I wasted on this bull**** game bull**** pathetic], all I do is waste my life away for a temporary goddamn high that lasts about a week or so... it's a complete joke, speedrunning is the most degenerate act man has ever come up with... it's ****ing true, the only reason we speedrun is because we're too pathetic to accomplish anything else decent in life, so we ****ing speedrun. because it gives us this temporary feeling that "oh my god I'm good, I'm the best in the world in this thing that hardly anyone else does." that's all it is, really. we're all a ****ing joke, we masquerade around AGDQ like 'haha we're so cool making a million dollars for cancer aren't we ****ing special?' [nah] we're just a pile of ****ing goddamn losers is all we are. it's ridiculous. People thinking speedrunning is cool is the biggest goddamn meme on the planet. nah [bommit] I'm telling the truth I'm just being real, everyone knows it they're just too afraid to say it. oh my ****ing dvd is done, well that's end of stream. If I get 1:08 this run no one will ever see it. Yeah [slinky] it's the absolute truth, it really is. We can pretend we're not, oh, we're partners on Twitch, we make entertainment, money, whatever but at the end of the day it's the truth. You know I just exposed all of speedrunning. It's a thing we do to waste time to feel good about ourselves that's it.

I got a better scale and magnifying glass. The 24.5mm is about as close as I can get but the badge is really about 0.97 inch.

I am measuring a naked metal badge, not the space where it goes.

This is the one that says "Personal Computer" in small italics under the large IBM logo. I think it came from an XT.

The plain one from a 122-key terminal looks to be about 25/32" or 19.5mm square.
