IBM model kb 7993 i am typing with it now and use it everyday.
I got the pic off the internut as my keyboard is filthy.

earlier on it looked like this

theres no way im pressing the button with no label. I think a tray might shoot out covered in pubes and lice and such.

Is this anything like the model M of which you, @R-T-B speaketh of ?

Ferrum Master · Feb 2, 2015

Mates... Looking at these, no wonder women think all men are swines.

R-T-B · Feb 2, 2015

Nah. Model M's used a unique mechanical keyswitch that has not really been used since except on a few expensive (and IMO, worse) unicomp clones, as they bought the patent.

The original Model M also has a steel plate in it that makes it quite heavy. People used to joke that you could beat a man to death with one. It's quite possible this is not entirely a joke.

The switch though, is pretty unique and hard to get a replica of that "feels" the same. It's essentially a spring that buckles and completes a circuit, so when you feel it "pop" you know you've really registered a key press. Typists like me love them.

They are getting pretty hard to find though. Especially the true pre-90 made by IBM ones (most later ones are made by Lexmark or Unicomp).

There's actually one on ebay now that was made on my birthday. I am tempted to get it, but...

...dat price! And it's not even precleaned!

Im feeling the pop Dude....im feeling the pop and it feels great.

If i remember right all these keys functioned in the days of W 93......... Play cd, volume, fast forward,mute and the crescent moon which puts the pc to sleep.

theres a "help" key as well.......... untouched, obviously, i am a bloke.

R-T-B · Feb 2, 2015

A quick google search tells me it's a standard rubber dome keyboard. A "better one" but a rubber dome all the same.

Thus any "pops" you feel are... something else.

I have mousing options...

Always have done.

If i choose to have a "weeekend" mouse, i will, if it happens to be riddled with pubic hairs so be it..

Here is a picture of what mice get up to when you are not looking.

View attachment 62325

Decency prevents me from taking a pic of the wifi ones around the corner. Disgusting.

the ball mouse is ps2

Are those mice reproducing? It's like watching an old episode of Animal Kingdom! :laugh:

Ferrum Master · Feb 2, 2015

If the help key was actually directly calling for hot helpdesk chick each time? No wonder they are so expensive.

you've changed Dude. some would say for the better

oooooooo back to the filth. Same panties as yesterday. Filthy.

R-T-B · Feb 2, 2015

Hey if I'm paying $300 for a keyboard, I expect it to be clean damnit!

20 Bucks and I may accept toxic biohazards. 300, no way.

EDIT: How much for that panty computer? It might be worth something with some TLC.

You cant put a price on love.

p.s. You can have the panties for a tenner.

pps not the ones in the picture.

the pc is a Shuttle.. I have 2 at the mo......... My pet name for her is Shuttle Butt.

R-T-B · Feb 3, 2015

Shuttle butt? Ok that's just too much. It sounds like some kinda STD...

I'm out.

I just threw up in my mouth. I really don't understand how you guys get this shit sooooooooo dirty? My keyboard is about 3 years old and I have probably wiped it down once and it's very clean.

open it up and see. they can look clean outside, and be nasty inside.

Pandora's box a bit much?

Like, you want to open it for the mystery, but god knows what's inside!?

A Shuttle with a whale tail? You should mount the case upside down, and when Windows starts make it play this 2Live Crew song:

can't decide which is more disgusting the insides of that keyboard or that damn video

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Feb 4, 2015

Speaking from experience, the insides of that keyboard. It even had sticky shit at the bottom, like from spills. Pretty bad. The hair was the least of the trouble.

I know it's a Model M and all but to me that particular KB was too far gone (nasty as sh!t man) for saving. Props for the refurbishment though.

R-T-B · Feb 4, 2015

As I said, I refurbish toughbooks, so if it's not outright dangerous I'll probably try to fix it, lol.

It's actually really clean now, I'll take a photo later. You wouldn't recognize the thing.
