I've owned a Unicomp "Classic 104" USB model in black since 2013 (build date 12/10/13), and it has honestly been the best investment I could've made in my custom-built rig. The tactile feedback is excellent, as is the overall quality of the keyboard. Despite the fact that some may have you believe Unicomp's keyboards don't feel like an "authentic" Model M, I can quell any doubt in that instantly by saying I notice no difference between my 2013 Unicomp and a 1988 Model M I've used in the past. Not only are the keyboards great, so is the customer service. When I had a question before purchasing my keyboard back in 2013, the response time was 11 minutes. They even got my keyboard (and a couple IBM PS/2 mice from the "bargain bin") to me the next day at no additional cost.

I've since customized my Unicomp with a set of their blue accessory keycaps. I'd be first in line to purchase a set of white lettering on black keycaps for the remaining keys, but they don't have the tooling for that. I hope they hear the popular demand for such an option and offer that one day.

Why would you buy any other keyboard?
