Filco Majestouch keyboard. I've been programming on mine for over 5 years.
It probably won't outlast my IBM Model M, but it does feel lighter on the fingers.
It might actually outlast your Model M. The membranes on the Model M seems to be the thing that has died for me (after like 20+ years mind you). I frequently still use my Leopold from 2009 and its rock solid.
Is that an IBM Model M, or a Lexmark Model M? Earlier Model Ms were entirely mechanical, later ones made by Lexmark used the buckling-spring-over-membrane design.
And in the case of a membrane Model M, I wonder if you can get a replacement from...whatever that company is that bought the molds and still makes them to this day.
Unicomp is the company you are thinking of I believe and I am pretty sure they will.
Yep that's them! Couldn't think of the name.
Sorry to dig up this old reply, just saw it. The original Model Ms were also buckling spring over membrane, you're thinking of the Model F. And yes, you can get replacement membranes from Unicomp for older Model Ms.
The internal board of my model M survived the dishwasher. In fact, it fixed it. They're tough.
I have an OG early 90s model with a birth certificate on the back.
