Item: IBM Model M keyboard
Age: 27 years
Price: R1500
Warranty: N/A
Packaging: Will package safely if needed
Condition: Complete working condition, daily use.
Location: Louis Trichardt
Reason: It's big, it's loud, it's heavy
Shipping: Can be arranged at the risk and expense of the buyer
Collection: Yes, can be arranged
Link: 1993 IBM model M (1391401) Made by IBM 03-11-93
This keyboard has been on my desk for 4+ years ever since I first put together my own gaming rig and was short a keyboard and started using it "in the meantime" and have never looked back.
It was part of and OLD IBM 486 used at a branch for FNB in the years gone by. My aunt who worked there bought a rig when they were upgrading and had it retrofitted as a gaming PC for my cousin. Years went by and she passed it on to me as my first computer, but alas it fell into disuse since it couldn't really do anything other than some 8bit games and I got a PS2 console and played on that. Some more years passed, I was building myself a new gaming PC of my own and cheaped out on buying a keyboard, using it thinking i'd buy another one later. which i never did coz it worked so well.
It really is fantastic to type on, it's just really loud so that will annoy you if your not the one doing the typing.
FYI
