Hi,
I currently have an IBM Model M and there's no way I would exchange it with a non-buckling spring keyboard. However, the lack of a Windows key, which I used to see as a pro but lately has become more of a con, is tempting me to get another keyboard. I've read about the Unicomp customizer keyboards that use buckling spring technology bought from IBM, but I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with both of them. I have a few questions:
1. Do them feel exactly the same?
2. Are they as durable?
3. Are the keys removable like the Model M?
4. Is the cable detachable like the Model M?
5. Are they as heavy as the Model M?
The price is kinda steep, but if it matches up to the Model M then I wouldn't mind spending money on it.
Thanks!
