Eggs still aren't cheaper

I like them the best. Nothing has yet to beat buckling springs for switches and the caps and case of a model M are pretty damn good too. Other than the plastic rivets they are damn near perfect. A lot of modern keyboards have tight small metal cases that don't sound nearly as nice as the one on the model M. That being said, if you don't love them then that is ok too.

Ya, they aren't as special as the buckling springs ones, but dome model Ms still are kick ass keyboards and I'm glad to see this one is in a loving home doing what it does best!

They all look so cool and like they are having a great time in their armor. Love that for them.

I agree. I felt a strong drop in animation quality going from S1 to S2, and frankly, S1's animation wasn't the greatest (see penultimate episode copy pasted birds falling out of the sky when the big laser hit). It doesn't need to be God tier animation, but it feels like they are cutting corners on it and it lessens the overall show. It is like benching 450 but skipping leg day.

Green iguanas are sometimes called Bamboo Chicken for how edible they are. I think eating them is a good way to deal with them if they are an invasive species in an area

The design is very human

That is a below average lift span for a mouse's microswitch. If you know how to solder you can probably replace the micro switch though. I know switch oddities sells loose mouse switches and I'm sure plenty of other places do too.

Hard to say for sure but based on how the case looks blow molded and the spherical keycaps I suspect that it might be a Futaba manufactured vintage keyboard in the image. Couldn't tell you what model though, I'm sorry.

The blow molded case and spherical caps and oddly shaped tab and lone spacebar on the bottom row are all things that used to be common in the late 70s and early 80s but are no longer common in keyboard design so I do think it is authentic vintage even though I don't know much more than a strong guess about the manufacturer (Futaba) and an educated guess about the switch (Futaba MD, MR, or ML series) and keycaps (doubleshot injection molded ABS).

Hope this helps!

Look at the gray around the eyes of this good ol' dog. Clearly an experienced cuddlebug and a veteran napper. We are lucky to get to see such an expert in action.

I think linears are fine for typing, but if you don't like them for that then that is fine. Swap the switches!
