I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.

I switched from an IBM M13 to a Tex Shinobi with box navy a few months ago. It is not as good as buckling spring, but good enough - and the more compact keyboard, full programmability and the better trackpoint make up for it.

I initially tried Cherry MX Blues, but they’re horrible. Never understood the Cherry hype in the 90s, and still don’t understand it now.

My wife made me get rid of my IBM Model M clone because it was making just a bit too much of a racket.

Could literally hear it from across the house.

IBM Model M clone

Want to try with an original?

Also, surprising you kept the wife, not the keyboard.

Apparently there are some Cherry MX sets from 30 years ago that are still working today. So I guess part of it is longevity, part nostalgia.

My m13 is from 1994, and I have non-trackpoint Model Ms going back to the late 80s, all working perfectly fine.

Maybe that’s exactly why she loves them. Every thought about that?
