Reply to comment by SnowblindAlbino in 11 Year Old Unicomp Model M Keyboard by zstandig

Bought mine 12 years ago and had the exact same thing! From ā€˜dā€™ leftwards, that side of the keyboard no longer worked. Very heavy paperweight.

I occasionally think about buying another but it still stings too much.

Just buy the original IBM one then, those will probably outlive us, they are steel plated 1,5 kg monsters ;) There are differences between the models, so read up on that before you buy, I don't remember what to look out for, I think mine is from the late 80ies. (There are differences between the US and international versions as well)

I think I paid around 50 Euros or so on the German used marked for mine. And I love it!

Similar-- about a half-dozen keys just became intermittent. I was so pissed off about their casual "screw you" lack of support I just tossed it aside. Have had many other, better, keyboards since. They are overhyped and won't back up their claim to quality.
