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.

Beneath the Keycaps

When designing the Model M, IBM engineers thought ahead. Almost every key on the keyboard has an easily removable keycap that allowed the user--or IBM--to easily change the layout or color of the keyboard. This was especially important for IBM's international keyboard releases, which incorporated subtle layout differences from the U.S. version. The keycaps are also durable; the label on each key is molded into the plastic itself, ensuring that it wouldn't wear off with use.
