+wood_jl Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have a confession to make: I went back and ordered a couple of the "Quiet Touch" Unicomps, and they have the *exact* same IBM-quality feel, and are so-much-less noisy. I think it's the best thing I've ever bought. While I love the "click," I compute late at night and it was like jackhammers going off. Same would be at the office, too. (Shhhhhh!!!! But the Unicomp "Quiet Touch" is great, too!") 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovalbugmann Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ah, a Model K? Came across some files the other day, the IBM Personal Computer AT keyboard was made in 1984-1985 and is known as a "Model F." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! Sometimes I do use my Logitech K800 as its much much quieter. Edited January 6, 2015 by ovalbugmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I thought Model F was the 5150/5160 type keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (Shhhhhh!!!! But the Unicomp "Quiet Touch" is great, too!") I agree! I very happily used my 1996 IBM "Quiet Touch" Model M at work for a long while. I took it home only because it was due for a cleaning, replacing it with a buckling-spring Unicomp, but I didn't get to it for months and just got used to the Unicomp.
