No need. CTRL-ESC.
too complicated for my smooth brain
I have a IBM Model M from 1984 as my daily driver.
CTRL-ESC works, I actually prefer it.
So yours is almost 40 years old, nice. It's amazing how far technology has moved in that time and here we are still using these ancient keyboards... they have seen some things we wouldn't believe.
I'd have thought it would have yellowed more than that, did you have to treat it to make it look so good?
Surprisingly not, I don't think I've ever seen a yellowed Model M (or earlier Model F for that matter).
Cyrix gang rise up!
Told you people would love it :D I'm glad she lives!
We have the same exact brief...ehm...keyboard.
the OG keyboard, how is it?
Amazing, really tactile and loud :D
Man I wish I had a curled up wire for keyboard and mouse... My wires are way too long and always get in the way.
