Unicomp Inc.'S "New" Model M Keyboard
Was just thinking how much I miss my old model M. I got a stack of them from an old girlfriend when (and this is back in maybe 1999) a place she was working at was getting rid of a whole load of old IBM PCs. They were 486s in the age of the Pentium 2/3, so basically useless, but each one came with a PS2 model M.
I used that keyboard for about 10 years, then gave it to a friend when I was moving country. I moved back, and they gave it back. I used it for another few years, though a little less as it is so loud. Then I moved country again and gave it to a workmate who is a real keyboard enthusiast kind of guy, and I understand it's now back in daily use.
It's bigger than I want these days - I'm a fan of the TKL keyboard now. But I see they do a Mini!

Is there a port of QMK/VIAL for the mini-M with the Raspberry Pi based controller?
There is now: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-mini-m/releases/latest
- Unicomp is such a great company to deal with
- Weird key issue, possible rollover???

Unicomp Inc.'S "New" Model M Keyboard
Recent batches also use Rpi Picos now which let you flash custom firmware. https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-overnumpad-and-aris...
In theory, they're probably "worse" than a brand new IBM made Model M was but I think people overestimate the feel of extant Model Ms that have been around for 30, 40 years now. I also found PS/2 -> USB adapters to be pretty flaky after a few years.
My comparison is a IBM made SSK and Lexmark made regular M.
What are some alternatives?
