    I’m apparently the archeologist over here with my Model M and its buckling springs.

      Model M is another survivor of the mass extinction but since the switches aren’t discreet it was hard to put it in the image. Great boards!

        It’s a survivor the same way the coelacanth or horseshoe crab is - a living fossil.

          They are right though. Check between the barrel plate and the metal back plate. Model Ms use a trio of membranes to detect key strokes. It is part of why they sound so much deeper, more robust, and less pingy than model Fs. Model Ms are membrane keyboards and that is a good thing.
