Fans of the Model M consider it to be the best keyboard ever. Model Ms built from 1989-1992 are seen by many as the peak of manufacturing, build, and material quality. Whatever the case, this is the enthusiast's keyboard.
"Forget about the das keyboard! Forget about filco! This is the ORIGINAL das, with original IBM patented mechanical buckling spring technology. The 1391401 emits a unique, pleasant “clickety” (some call it clacky) sound every time a key is pressed. Unlike cheapo modern keyboards, old school mechanicals activate each key at around mid-press, meaning that you don't have to "mash" the key down to the bottom. The result is highly ergonomic: instead of having to press a full 4mm with each keystroke, mechanical keyboards activate each key, or "clicking" at around 2mm, leaving you with another 2mm before bottoming out. Instead of mashing each key, you can "float" around the keyboard (simply listening for the clicks and/or feeling the tactile collapse of the spring). Typing on buckling springs will soon become second nature, and you'll never go back to a rubber dome keyboard again. Over time, using a mechanical keyboard will reduce repeated stress injury (RSI) and lessen your chances of developing carpel-tunnel syndrome. The Model M allows you to comfortably and accurately type for hours on end.
"In the age of cheap, spongy $10 throwaway keyboards, many people are returning to the precision-engineered vestiges of old style keyboard technology. Back when this was made, computers ran upwards of $8,000 and keyboards were seen as precision instruments- tools, rather than the simple afterthoughts that they are today. These days, people go through keyboards like - buying a new one once, twice, three times a year. The IBM Model M is designed to last, and it has the distinction of actually getting better over time. The 2-piece removable/customizable keycaps are made from thick, high-quality PBT plastic (as opposed to cheap ABS) so the texture stays for decades. The letters are permanently dyed into the surface of the keys, and they will never fade or wear out. The 101 workhorse IBM springs under each key help deliver a smooth, frictionless typing experience. Not unlike your favorite recliner, the Model M's springs will eventually conform to your unique typing habits and your most used keys will get softer and easier to press.

"The IBM Buckling Spring Model M is the perfect keyboard for writers, typists, programmers, and hacking applications of all kinds. Anyone who types on a regular basis will appreciate this beauty! Truly the best keyboard ever made, the clicky IBM Model M 1391401 is something to be cared for and preserved.
