Inside the World's Greatest Keyboard
From the satisfying click of its keys to its no-nonsense layout and solid steel underpinnings, IBM's 24-year-old Model M is the standard by which all other keyboards must be judged.

The No-Click Solution
Unlike the Model M, this keyboard's keys snap into place over silicone-rubber dome switches. The keyboard is very quiet, which can be a plus in certain environments, but it won't last nearly as long as keyboards built on the buckling-spring design. Dome-switch keyboards are also much less expensive to produce than keyboards with more complicated mechanical switches, which is why they dominate the keyboard market today.
