Oldies but goodies
I’m a big fan of old IBM keyboards. The one I’m currently using was manufactured in 1985.
OK, so what’s so special about them ?
Well, they’re tough for starter. Which is very important when you have kids
Second, they just feel GOOD. I’ve yet to find a modern keyboard with the responsive tactile feel of this oldie. It’s a joy to use.
Third, they just keep on working. As you may have noticed, the one I own is about 20 years old. And I can expect to be able to use it for YEARS to come.
Fourth, they’re dirt cheap. This one cost me only 1 poundsterling !
The downside ? Well, they’re quite hard to find
so if you’re lucky enough to found one – don’t let it go! Also they’re quite heavy; my friend joked that they’re created to be bulletproof.
And, some may find it a bit noisy, but to me the sound is very satisfying; like a classic typewriter. You just got to hear it for yourself.
Good luck to you in finding one.

Kok brisik
hehe, wong suaranya enak didengar gitu kok. Kalau ekspor ke Indonesia laku gak ya
di pameran2 komputer disini kadang2 masih cukup gampang didapatkan. Hmm.. jadi dapat ide deh.
