My Build Idea: Homemade Buckling Spring Keyboard

wii505

I like IBM Model M Keyboards. So Karen, if you guys could make the next computer build have a homemade buckling spring keyboard, then that would be cool. If not, then I want to know why. Thanks.

  • Short awnser, yes you can.

     

    Long awnser, yes but you will need to buy 2 to 3 broken keyboards (Unicomp who owns the patent to the buckler keyboard and the rights to sell the parts but they don't sell the parts) or one working keyboard to salvage the p..arts. This is not a cheap method since the broken ones I saw on ebay were around 60 dollars and a new one cost around 84 dollars from Unicomp. so at 84 dollars for just the keyboard plus a extra cuople of bucks for a PS2 to USB adapter for a keyboard that clicks does that seem like a good use of money?
